converting doc to jpg

[maormp]

I was unsuccessful at it, I did see that when you right click on the doc file one of the options is "convert" from which you can select which type to convert the to.
Nothing seemed to have happened.

Also, I didn't find anything in the FAQ or the sticky threads, if I missed it, I apologize.

converting doc to jpg

You can't really convert DOC (document, similar applies to DOCX, PDF, ODF, CHM, ...). to JPG (bitmap).

What one could do, is:

1. Create a BITMAP from every page of a document (or one long bitmap of all pages). But it would be a very difficult task. Why? DOC and Co are very complicated fileformats (and apparently only partially documented).

2. Extract images from a document. This is considerably easier, JPG and PNG images are apparently contained as "plain" in DOC files. DOCX and ODF documents are in fact ZIP files so you can UNZIP them to get the images.

Try to load the print-driver "PDFCreator" - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
It not only creates PDF, but some raster-formats too: TIF, BMP, JPG....

So you have to open the DOC and print it to JPG.

maybe this will "work" ... it just needs and uses the original Office to do the hard work
