Steps for Converting large batches of files with Event Handling

1. Import the trial Developer License:

   License.Import(new StreamReader(@”C:\Users\Joe\license.xml”));

2. Set up the folders the processed files will be moved to:

   //set your source and output folders
   static String sourceFolder = @”E:\process\source”;
   static String outputFolder = @”E:\process\output”;
   static String errorFolder = @”E:\process\error”;

   //Check there is a source folder if there isn’t throw and exception
   if (!Directory.Exists(sourceFolder))
   {
   throw new InvalidOperationException();
   }

   //if there is a source folder but no output folder – create the output folder.
   if (!Directory.Exists(outputFolder))
   {
   Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);
   }

   //Lastly create the error folder.
   if (!Directory.Exists(errorFolder))
   {
   Directory.CreateDirectory(errorFolder);
   }

3. Use the JobProcessor Method to start a process:

   //Simple synchronous (no events) version
   using (JobProcessor processor = new JobProcessor())
   {
   …

4. For each file in Source Folder – You must set the OCR Language any other settings are optional:

   processor.JobCompletedEvent += new EventHandler(processor_JobCompletedEvent); //TAB to create method

   foreach (String pdfPath in Directory.GetFiles(sourceFolder, “*.pdf”, SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
   {
   PdfToWordJobEnvelope jobEnvelope = new PdfToWordJobEnvelope();
   // OCR Language must be set
   jobEnvelope.OcrLanguage = “en”;

   //Some Optional Settings / forexample just convert the first page
   PageRange pageRange = new PageRange(new int[] { 1 });
   jobEnvelope.PageRange = pageRange;

   //Set the output format
   jobEnvelope.OutputType = SolidFramework.Converters.Plumbing.WordDocumentType.DocX;

   …

5. Set the Source path of the files and Submit the Job:

   //Set the Source Path
   jobEnvelope.SourcePath = pdfPath;

   //Submit the Job
   processor.SubmitJob(jobEnvelope);
   }

6. Set a time period to give the process a chance to complete:

   //Gives the process time to complete
   Thread.Sleep(1000);

7. In your Method Stub create a new PDFtoWord JobEnvelope:

   static void processor_JobCompletedEvent(object sender, JobCompletedEventArgs e)
   {
   PdfToWordJobEnvelope jobEnvelope = e.JobEnvelope as PdfToWordJobEnvelope;
   jobEnvelope = e.JobEnvelope as PdfToWordJobEnvelope;

   …

8. If there are any errors report them to the console window:

   //Trap if their are any errors
   if (jobEnvelope.Status != SolidFramework.Services.Plumbing.JobStatus.Success)
   {
   // report errors to the console window
   Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(jobEnvelope.SourcePath) + ” failed because ” + jobEnvelope.Message);
   String eFolder = Path.Combine(errorFolder, Path.GetFileName(jobEnvelope.SourcePath));
   String ePath = jobEnvelope.SourcePath;
   File.Move(ePath, eFolder);
   }

   …

9. Files are saved to a temporary location and need to be moved with the correct file extension:

   else
   {
   //files are saved to a temporary location and need to be copied. This code builds the file name
   String wordFolder = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(jobEnvelope.SourcePath));

   //this add the file extention that must match what was chosen above.
   String wordFile = Path.Combine(wordFolder + “.docx”);

   //for each file in the jobEnvelope copy it to the file path and format above
   foreach (String wordPath in jobEnvelope.OutputPaths)
   {
   String wordDestination = Path.GetFileName(wordPath);
   File.Copy(wordPath, wordFile, true);
   }
   }
