Need 'Convert to pdf' functionality in share

[robin]

Hi Guys,

In my current pursuit in am looking to have a 'Convert to PDF' button in 'Document actions' tab in alfresco share 4.0.
This functionality will enable a user to convert the existing document into PDF and will allow him to save the PDF into his PC.
Any help in this direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance 

Regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,

Share Extras has something that can get you close the functionality you need: http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/ExecuteScriptAction

It creates a new document library action which allows you execute a script (just like in Explorer). So you could potentially write a script which does the transformation, which your user could select on a document.

Either that or you could create your own Custom Action. It's a lot easier to do in Share and Jeff Potts does a great guide on how to do it: http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/01/23/1519

Good luck,
ben.

Old thread, but I do have useful idea to share. I'm involved in a c# windows application, need the function of pdf to image conversion. Then, I found one solution and got ideas from: http://www.pqscan.com/pdf-to-image/
