Microsoft Word Document Conversion and Viewing

Snowbound’s RasterMaster imaging SDKs and applications for viewing and converting Microsoft Word documents are more powerful and flexible than any other imaging solution available.

What is MS Word?

Microsoft Word is a common word processing application for creating and editing text documents. This application is part of a suite of products that handle different document formats.

Text Extraction, Creating Searchable PDFs and Content Aggregation

One of RasterMaster’s powerful MS Word handling feature is its ability to extract text. This provides you with the capabilities to:

  • Convert files to fully-searchable PDF documents. Graphics, text, tables and more are maintained uniquely within the generated PDF for easy access by Adobe Acrobat or other PDF readers.
  • Create powerful content aggregation tools that streamline database population efforts by leveraging batch extraction of content and formatting data from Microsoft Word documents.

Document Conversion Solutions

Companies use Snowbound Software’s imaging developer tools and complete document viewing solutions to quickly and efficiently convert and standardize their documents from MS Word to PDF files for easy archiving and display.

Notes:

  • Purchasing Snowbound's MS Office option provides you with support for Microsoft Excel, Word, and Powerpoint.
  • Snowbound supports MS Word document display and conversion. Saving to MS Word is not offered at this time.
  • Open Office XML documents currently support MS Word 2007 documents with .docx extensions. Support for MS Word 2007 documents is available as a separately purchased option. Documents created in MS Office 2007 with .pptx extensions are not supported.

Important: As we all know document and image specifications are intentionally loosely written and rarely updated. As a result many applications create documents “incorrectly” and they do not adhere to the latest specifications.

In order to maintain the highest ethical standards and help provide customers with the most positive user experience, Snowbound Software recommends that, as part of your purchase process, you test your own sample documents against our products. Snowbound, unlike most competitors, develops its own technology. If in the rare case you come across a problem or non-conforming document or image, we can often fix it.
