Goat, how did you succeed at altering the document without generating a document is corrupt message? Or did you edit only the document.xml file? Using SAM, I can extract only the file I choose, edit it, put it back, and the other elements remain intact. docx files from scratch (which seems to blow my entire document when I try). docx file directly in Stuffit Archive Manager (without even having to change the extension), which eliminates the need to re-zip the. rel files).įYI for others out there, I found that I can open up a. That prevents me from swapping in new images (charts in my case), or modifying any hyperlinks (which exist in. Sure enough, Word is clever enough to recover the remaining elements, but anything I change gets nuked.

any rel, image, or XML file in the package that I change (other than the document.xml itself) is seen as corrupt by Word when it tries to open the file.

I'm trying to do the same with Word 2008/Mac, but I run into a problem. Yo, Goat my man, love to know more about your generated Word 2007 document. We're planning to deploy Framework 3.0, so if that's all that's needed, please let me know.ĭoes Microsoft offer some sort of Office 2007 redistributable DLL(s) that we could include on an install, along with perhaps one of the 3rd-party print-to-PDF SDKs, that would give us what we need? We are currently using Framework 3.0's System.IO.Packaging to program against the new Word 2007 format, but I'm unaware of it providing a convert-to-pdf facility within itself, such that deploying Framework 3.0 would be enough to meet our needs. 3rd-party convert-to-pdf libraries exist, including those that can convert a Word 2007 document to pdf, but they appear to rely on Word 2007 being already installed on the workstation. But we can't presume Office 2007 is already installed on the target machine. One programmatic solution, which Microsoft offers sample code for, relies on Word 2007 being installed on the workstation along with a Save As PDF add-on also being installed. Our requirement is to be able to create an installation on a workstation that does not have Office 2007 installed, that installs our application and sufficient additional libraries such that we can programmatically convert a Word 2007. Please excuse this question that isn't strictly a VSTO question I figure there may be several people on this forum that can point me to the right direction or provide some helpful thoughts nonetheless.
