OmniFormat
has been successfully installed on your computer.
Overview:
OmniFormat
is a free utility that allows automated conversion and image
manipulation of over 75 file formats including PDF, HTML,
DOC, XLS, PPT, JPG, GIF, TIF, PNG, PCX, XML, PS, TXT, Photo CD, FAX and MPEG.
OmniFormat
includes HTML2PDF995, a utility for rapid, quality conversion
of HTML to PDF and other formats. HTML2PDF995 is suitable for
use in server scripts for high speed, dynamic PDF generation
on web servers.
OmniFormat
"watches" a folder for image files. When images
are placed into the Watch folder, they are automatically processed.
[Note: original files placed in the Watch folder will be
deleted.] Processing may include a combination of conversion and image
manipulation. OmniFormat may be optionally run as a Windows
System Service.
OmniFormat
supports Optical Character Recognition (OCR). In order to
convert image formats to text, the free OmniFormat Optical
Character Recognition module must be downloaded from OmniFormat
and installed.
OmniFormat
can automatically apply Digital Rights Management to documents
and images using the free Signature995
Standard Encryption Module.
Using
OmniFormat:
OmniFormat
may be accessed from Start Menu under Software995.
1. Specify
the Watch folder that OmniFormat will monitor. Note:
It is possible to specify UNC
network paths such as \\servername\folder
instead of mapped paths. This may be done by modifying
watch.txt directly.
2. Select
an output format.
3. Press
"Start Monitoring."
4. Place
image files into the Watch Folder. OmniFormat accepts over
75 image formats (see below). Note: original files placed in
the Watch folder will be deleted.
Options:
Memory
Usage: High is fastest but should only be used on systems with
512 MB or more RAM. Set this to Medium or Low for systems
with less memory.
Modulation
- Brightness, Saturation and Hue may be adjusted. A setting of
100 leaves the values unchanged.
Contrast
- Normal leaves the image unchanged.
Rotation
- 0 leaves the image unchanged.
Normalize
- Automatic contrast adjustment. Default setting is off.
Size -
Same as original is default. When unchecked, specify Maximum
Width and Height to constrain the size of the image. Selecting
Fit to Maximum Height and Width will force image to resize
itself to both the Maximum Width and the Maximum Height. This
is useful for thumbnail creation.
Resolution
of Files Created from PDF - Select Dots Per Inch of images
created when PDF documents are converted. Default is 72.
Convert
1 image per page when converting from PDF - Selected by
default. When unselected very large files may be generated.
Windows
Service - OmniFormat may be run as a Windows System Service on
NT, Windows 2000 and XP. When the system is rebooted,
OmniFormat will run as an invisible, background process. In
order to install or uninstall OmniFormat as a service, users
must have administrative privileges. The service must be
stopped before OmniFormat may be configured or run in visible
mode. In order to process XML and XLS files when run as a
service, you may need to select
Services->OmniFormat->Properties->Log On and change
Log On to "This account" and specify a user account.
When run as a service on Windows 2003, Omniformat, it may be
necessary to upgrade by purchasing a key.
When
running as a service, it may be necessary to specify UNC
network paths such as \\servername\folder
instead of mapped paths. This may be done by modifying
watch.txt directly.

Move
Converted Files to Output Folder:
Converted files will be
in
the specified Output folder. This setting will not affect
Single Pass mode.
If
multiple Watch folders are specified, converted files will be
placed in the specified output folder. In order to specify a
separate output folder for each Watch folder, create the text
file ..\omniformat\outputfolders.txt and add a folder on each
line separated by a carriage return line feed. The order must
match that of the Watch folders. Add an entry to the [Omniformat]
section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini: Output Folder =
MULTIFOLDER. Remove the entry to
revert to standard behavior. If multiple users access the
Watch folders or OmniFormat is run on a server, a server key
should be purchased.
Note:
The options settings will be stored for future use. You must
manually revert the settings to their defaults.
Processing
Sub-folders:
OmniFormat
will process subfolders of watch folders if the following entry
is added to the [Omniformat]
section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini:
Process
Subfolders=1.
Excel:
On non-English operating systems, if pdf995 is not the default printer, it may be necessary to add
System on=on
to the parameters section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini AND to change the value to the word for "on" in the system's language. Examples:
Spanish system:
System on=en
Swedish system:
System on=på
German system:
System on=auf
Italian system:
System on=su
The
easiest methods of determining the replacement value is to
print to pdf995 manually from Excel and observer the print
dialog. It will state: PDF995 _ Ne00. The correct value will
be in place of the "_". Alternatively, record a
macro of printing an xls file with pdf995. Look at the macro
source for the reference to PDF995 _ Ne00. Likewise, the
correct value will be in place of the "_".
Associate
a different Output format with each Watch folder:
If
multiple Watch folders are specified, each folder can be
configured to generate a different file type. In order to specify a
separate file type for each Watch folder, create the text
file ..\omniformat\outputformats.txt and add a the desired
extension on each
line separated by a carriage return line feed. The order must
match that of the Watch folders. Remove the file to
revert to standard behavior. If multiple users access the
Watch folders or OmniFormat is run on a server, a server key
should be purchased.
Single
Pass:
In order
to reprocess all images in a folder, run Single Pass. This
is especially useful if you need to adjust image properties
without converting them to a different format.
Command
line mode:
OmniFormat
may be invoked from the command line to convert documents.
Pass the input file name. Example:
omniformat.exe
c:\myfolder\myfile.tif
Alternately,
pass the input file in quotes, a space and the desired output
format in quotes. Example:
omniformat.exe
"c:\myfolder\myfile.jpg"
"TIF"
Adding Monitor at Startup=1
to the OmniFormat section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini will cause
OmniFormat to monitor the watch folders at startup.
Custom
pre-processing:
OmniFormat
can call custom procedures based on the file type being
converted. Under the [OmniFormat] section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
add an entry for the file type. The value can specify a
command, batch file or executable. The term "%s"
will be substituted for the input file name and path prior to
execution. The term "%n" will be substituted for the
input file name prior to execution. The term "%p"
will be substituted for the input file less the extension
prior to execution. The term "%crlf%" will be substituted for
a carriage-return, line-feed prior to execution.
Example:
[OmniFormat]
doc=copy
%s c:\temp\%n
This will copy all doc files to the temp folder before
processing.
The
following:
tif=""c:\program files\omniformat\engine\convert.exe" "%s"
"%pjpg""
jpg=del
%p.tif
Will
convert a tif to jpg (note the extra set of parentheses for use with
long path names).
Custom
post-processing:
OmniFormat
can call custom procedures. Under the
[OmniFormat Post Process] section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
add an entry for the output file type. The value can specify a
command, batch file or executable. The term "%s"
will be substituted for the output file name and path. The term "%n" will be substituted for the
output file name prior. The term "%crlf%" will be
substituted for a carriage-return, line-feed prior to
execution. This does not support conversions
where a single file is converted to multiple single page
images. Example:
[OmniFormat
Post Process]
PDF=copy
%s c:\temp\%n
This will copy all PDF output files to the temp folder.
Additional
ImageMagick Parameters:
In order
to specify additional parameters to be passed to ImageMagick,
add
Additional ImageMagick Parameters=
to the
Omniformat section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini. Example:
Additional ImageMagick Parameters=-units PixelsPerInch -density 72x72
Search
the Internet for ImageMagick documentation about convert.exe
for more information.
Filtering
by input type:
At
startup, Omniformat will check for the existence of
.\omniformat\filter.txt. If the file does not exist,
Omniformat will attempt to process all files placed in watch
folders. Otherwise, it will compare the extension of files
placed in the watch folder and only process them if the
extension is listed in filter.txt. Example: If filter.txt
contains "doc,xls,ppt", then Omniformat will only
process files with a doc, xls or ppt extension.
adjustPdf995.exe:
Pass DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE
or DMORIENT_PORTRAIT to set the default orientation for
pdf995.
Pass
DMCOLOR_COLOR or DMCOLOR_MONOCHROME to set the default color
handling for pdf995.
Pass
integer values according to papersizes.txt to set the default
paper size for pdf995. For example, a value of 9 will set the
printer to A4.
Pass
SCALE=# (case sensitive) to adjust the scale of the printer.
The value of # can vary between 1 and 100.
Optical
Character Recognition:
In order
to convert image formats to text the free OmniFormat Optical
Character Recognition module must be downloaded from OmniFormat
and installed. Office and PDF formats will be converted
directly to text without use of optical character recognition.
If PDF to TXT fails (in the case of a PDF generated from a
scanned document, OmniFormat will use OCR).
XML
Processing:
OmniFormat
may be used to dynamically convert XML data to any output format
supported by OmniFormat including PDF. A Microsoft Word file
is used as a template to supply layout information. OmniFormat
replaces fields in the Word template's text, links and
bookmarks with values specified in
the XML file. Next it converts the document to the final
format.
Sample (acme.xml):
<ORDER
OutputFile="c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf"
WordTemplate="c:\templates\invoice template.doc"
CompanyName="Acme Corporation Inc."
Address1="345 Garden Avenue"
Address2="San Gorge, CA 94301"
Item1="Widgets"
Quantity1="2"
Price1="500"
Item2=""
Quantity2=""
Price2=""
Total="500"
/>
OmniFormat
will process acme.xml by 1. Substitution of the name-value
pairs into "c:\templates\invoice template.doc"
followed by 2. Conversion to c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf.
The template file is not modified by the process. "OutputFile" and "WordTemplate" are reserved names.
The template file can be a URL. If Omniformat is invoked by a
Service or configured to run as a service, in order to process
xml files it may be necessary to add the following to the [Omniformat]
section of .\pdf995\res\pdf995.ini:
Use MSXML=0
Adding
"Ignore Word Links=1" to the [Parameters] section of
..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini will cause OmniFormat to ignore links
and bookmarks in Word documents when creating PDFs. PDF is an
intermediate format during conversion of Office documents to
image formats.
Adding
"Conversions Per Instance of Word=#" where # is a
positive integer to the [OmniFormat]
section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
will cause OmniFormat to use the same instance of Word for #
conversions. At the end of # conversions, the instance
is closed and a new instance started. Increasing this value
will increase conversion rates for Word documents. The default
is 10. A value of 50 is reasonable.
Note:
PdfEdit995 may be used to batch convert Microsoft Office documents
to PDF.
Colors:
Adding
"Colors=#" where # is a
positive integer to the [OmniFormat]
section of ..pdf995\res\pdf995.ini will cause image format to
image format conversion to adjust the number of colors in the
resulting image. This will not affect conversion of PDF,
Office format or html to image formats. It will affect gif to
gif (done with single pass), tif to gif and other image to
image conversions.
Digital
Rights Management:
OmniFormat
may be used to convert images and documents to rights managed
PDF files. Pdf995 Standard Encryption may be downloaded
free and uses 128 bit RC4 encryption to restrict users
from printing, copying text and images and modifying PDF
files. It also uses 128 bit RC4 encryption to password protect
PDF files. Rights management may be configured via the Options
dialog of OmniFormat. In order to turn off Standard encryption,
all restriction options must be unchecked and the password
must be empty.
HTML2PDF995:
OmniFormat
uses Word to convert from HTML and MHTML by default.
HTML2PDF995 uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer control. It
is faster and more accurate than Word rendering and printing
of HTML and MHTML. Adding "Use HTML2PDF995=1" (Do
not include the quotes) to the [OmniFormat] section of
..\pdf995\res\pdf995.ini will configure OmniFormat to use
HTML2PDF995 instead. In addition, HTML2PDF995 may be called
from other applications or the command line to convert HTML to
PDF by passing the full path or URL of the desired file to be
converted. The path or URL must be in quotes. The PDF output
file may be specified as the second argument. It must also be
in quotes.
Example:
"c:\omniformat\html2pdf995.exe"
"www.software995.com" "c:\pdf995\output.pdf"
Header
text, footer text and margins should be specified in the
Internet Explorer-File-Page Setup dialog. They may
alternatively be specified by adding the following entries to
the [Parameters] section of pdf995.ini:
HTML
Header=header text
HTML Footer=footer text
HTML Margin Bottom=#
HTML Margin Top=#
HTML Margin Left=#
HTML Margin Right=#
If blank
entries are desired it may be necessary to a value of "blank"
(ie. HTML Header=blank).
Printing
of background colors and images may be configured in Internet
Explorer,Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Printing. Adjust
the "Print backrgound colors and images" box. It may
also be specified programmatically. Specify a "yes"
or "no" in the [Parameters] section of pdf995.ini:
HTML PrintBackground=yes|no
Running
HTML2PDF995 and OmniFormat from the command line on a Web Server (requires an OmniFormat Server
key):
The
following JavaScript will generate a PDF and open it in the
client's browser:
<%@
LANGUAGE=JScript %>
<%
//create the pdf
shl = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
argument = "\"c:\\omniformat\\html2pdf995.exe\" "
//argument = argument + "\"c:\\pdf995\\readme.html\" "
argument = argument + "\"www.epad995.com\" "
argument = argument + "\"c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\out.pdf\""
//run html2pdf995 and wait for it to return
shl .Run(argument, 0 , 1 )
//display the pdf
Response.ClearContent
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.Redirect ("http://localhost/out.pdf")
%>
Internet
Information Server information:
The IWAM
account requires user rights to the PDF995 and OmniFormat
folders. It may also require write permission to the Internet
Explorer Temp folder and List permission on the containing
folder (in the case of the default installation, that would
mean that the IWAM account requires List permission on
the C:\ folder (it does not need to propagate - it's just
required so that when the security request for the permissions
list on the folders is made, the system is allowed to view the
permissions for the folders; remember that the folders in
question are all merely objects in the C:\ folder).
The default IWAM setting - membership of the Guests and Web
Applications groups is sufficient. However, you will
need to add the PDF995 printer to that user's context. This
may be accomplished by using "runas" with Internet
Explorer, and specifying PDF995 as the default printer, which
will effectively set up all of the registry entries for that
user. Alternatively, you can add printers by referring to
Microsoft Knowledge base article Q184291. This article
additionally gives details of how to configure the LocalSystem
account for printing. That will only be required if you
are running your web application in the "Low"
context (ie, in the same process as IIS). Applications
are configured by default to run in the "Medium"
context (Out of process, but pooled) context, which runs under
the IWAM account.
The
following will also enable printing from IIS via the IWAM
account: Log into the IWAM account (do not use Run As) )and
print to pdf995 manually or html2pdf995 before invoking it in
IIS. This will load the user profile. This may be achieved
programmatically. See Microsoft's article: How To Programmatically Cause the Creation of a User's Profile.
The password to the IWAM account can be accessed by following
this Microsoft Article: PRB: Configured Identity Is Incorrect for IWAM Account.
This will allow html2pdf995 to temporarily set a default
printer.
If you
cannot log on to the IWAM account using Control-Alt-Delete or
do not wish to change the password for the IWAM account,
html2pdf995 will attempt to use PDF995 as the default printer.
You can adjust the printer used by default by adding a
"Default Printer" entry to the [HTML2PDF995] section
of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini. The default value is
Default
Printer=PDF995,winspool,Ne00:
If you
log in as the administrator, you can determine how the above
setting should appear by setting PDF995 as the default printer
and then looking at the Device setting in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows
or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows.
It may be necessary to adjust the web.config file so that "identity impersonate" is set to
false if using ASP.NET. This may be done either in the global web.config file or in a web.config file in the directory containing the asp or aspx file which calls html2pdf995.exe.
If using ASP, you can disable identity impersonate via IIS.
Autolaunch
should be turned off using PdfEdit995 when running
html2pdf995.exe on IIS.
When using Omniformat or html2pdf995 from
IIS on Server 2003 or later, you may need to give
iusr_servername and/or iwam_servername full permissions to the folder having
the input document.
The
following may be necessary for doc to pdf conversion with IIS6:
1. Installing FrontPage extensions to IIS will create a "MSSharePointAppPool"
2. In IIS properties, the Home directory tab for the website has to be switched from DefaultAppPool to "MSSharePointAppPool"
3. The the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2003 may fail when
OmniFormat calls MSWord. Uninstall Microsoft Office 2003 from the web server in order to remove the service pack. Reinstall Microsoft Office 2003 without the service pack
Error
Handling:
Omniformat
monitors Office format conversions and use of html2pdf995. If the conversion time
exceeds 600 seconds, Omniformat will terminate instances of
the Office application or html2pdf995, launch another instance of Omniformat
if Omniformat is not processing from the command line and terminate itself. The timeout value can be adjusted by
adding the following to the [Omniformat] section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
where ## is the number of seconds desired:
Progress
Timeout=##
Omniformat
may be configured not to restart Office applications or
html2pdf995 by adding the following to the [Omniformat]
section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini:
Terminate
Helper Application=0
Omniformat
may be configured to restart both itself and Word after
processing a specified number of files. Configure this by
adding the following to the [Omniformat] section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
where ## is the number of files that should be processed
before a restart:
FilesToProcessBeforeRestarting=##
TIFF
Options:
The TIFF output in OmniFormat
may be configured by adjusting the output resolution in the Options dialog and adjusting the type of TIFF file
created:
In the OmniFormat section of .\pdf995\res\pdf995.ini add:
PDF to TIFF=tiff24nc
The value can be set to any of the following:
Color, uncompressed output:
tiff12nc - Produces 12-bit RGB output (4 bits per component).
tiff24nc - Produces 24-bit RGB output (8 bits per component).
Black-and-white output with different compression modes:
tiffcrle - G3 fax encoding with no EOLs
tiffg3 - G3 fax encoding with EOLs
tiffg32d - 2-D G3 fax encoding
tiffg4 - G4 fax encoding
tifflzw - LZW-compatible (tag = 5) compression
tiffpack - PackBits (tag = 32773) compression
PowerPoint
Options:
The
PowerPoint output format may be configured by adding the
following to the Omniformat section of the pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
file:
Powerpoint
Outputtype=
Specify
a value of between 1 and 9. Options include:
1 -
slides, 2 - two slide handouts, 3 - three slide handouts, 4 -
six slide handouts, 8 - four slide handouts, 9 - nine slide
handouts.
The free
version of OmniFormat will display a sponsor page in your web
browser each time you launch the software. If you would prefer
not to see sponsor pages, you may download
a license key for $9.95.
