Convert MS Word to PDF API method of Aspose.Words Cloud returns empty PDF docs

Aspose.Words Cloud Product Family

Hi Team,


I am grateful for your Aspose on the Cloud product, the problem I have is that the PDF documents returned when I am testing converting from MS Word are empthy or with zero bytes, what is causing this?

$mainDocumentFile = “/home/mobijxwn/public_html/cvs/My_mobiCV_1326453914.doc”;
echo "File to convert $mainDocumentFile…
";
SaasposeApp::$OutPutLocation = “/home/mobijxwn/public_html/cvs/”;
echo "Coverted file will be output here “/home/mobijxwn/public_html/cvs/”…
";
echo “Converting document…
“;
//create Converter object
$doc = new WordConverter(””);
//save in the required format
$result = $doc->ConvertLocalFile($mainDocumentFile, “My_mobiCV_1326453914.pdf”, “pdf”);

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,


Thank you for sharing a sample document. I tested your document against the Aspose cloud service. I’m sorry to share with you that I’m unable to reproduce the problem. I’m attaching a sample application for your reference. Please try this application on your side and let me know your feedback. It is working perfect on my side. Please follow up these steps:

1) Open web browser and browse following URL
http:///ConvertDocumentUsingSDK/index.php
2) Enter App Key and App SID
3) Browse input file from your computer
4) Select output file format
5) Click “Submit” button
6) Save output file to disk
