PloneOOoTransforms

allows for converting Plone Documents (HTML to PDF, Word, etc.) and Plone Files (XLS to PDF, Word to PNG, MS PPT to PDF, MS PPT to SWF, etc.)

Project Description

Features :

• fully integrated into plone (works with plone, not again :)).
• adds many transformers in the portal_transforms.
• many transformers use openoffice.org to convert documents (openoffice is required).
• indexation (if you use TextIndexNG) and conversion support in plone for many new types of files are provided.
• support many file types : all files that are supported by the powerful openoffice.org !
• adds a default user interface : interface that allows for converting Plone Documents (HTML to PDF, Word, etc.) and Plone Files (XLS to PDF, Word to PNG, MS PPT to PDF, MS PPT to SWF, etc.)
• provides an OOoTool to manage OOoModel : Plone Objects can be converted in many types of files via OpenOffice using models (ODT or SXW Files) edited in OpenOffice. You add in ODT Files some Fields (InfoDoc Fields, UserFields and Placeholder fields) that you can map with Archetypes Fields to generate the final converted document.
  

So with this tool in Plone, file types supported (for convertion 'from' and/or 'to' and indexation) are now numerous :

• MS Word (*.doc),
• MS PPT (*.ppt),
• MS Excel (*.xls),
• OpenOffice Writer (*.sxw),
• OpennOffice Calc,
• OpenDocument (*.dot),
• PDF,
• HTML,
• Text,
• PNG,
• JPG,
• PostScript (*.ps),
• RTF (*.rtf),
• etc ..
