how to specify DocumentFormat for JODConverter 2.2

I'm willing to use JODConverter with ByteArrayStream by using the following method.

public void convert(InputStream in,
                    DocumentFormat df,
                    OutputStream out,
                    DocumentFormat df1).

The problem is i don't know how create a working DocumentFormat; what i want is the parameters for .doc(Microsoft Word 2003) and XHTML.

I found something like this but it won't work( I'm using JODConverter 2.2 with OpenOffice 4.0 running on headless mode).

DocumentFormat doc = new DocumentFormat("Microsoft Word",
                                        "doc",
                                        "application/msword");
DocumentFormat html = new DocumentFormat("HTML",
                                         "html",
                                         "text/html");

it throws the : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unsupported input format: Microsoft Word

Solution

  • I have found a solution for this, this is how you implement a DocumentFormat in JODConverter 2.2 for .html and .doc :

    //for HTML documents.
DocumentFormat html = new DocumentFormat("HTML", DocumentFamily.TEXT, "text/html", "html");
html.setExportFilter(DocumentFamily.TEXT, "HTML (StarWriter)");
//for .doc documents.        
DocumentFormat doc = new DocumentFormat("Microsoft Word", DocumentFamily.TEXT, "application/msword", "doc");
doc.setExportFilter(DocumentFamily.TEXT, "MS Word 97");
