Convert Word doc to HTML programmatically in Java (11 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

I am trying to show the PDF & .DOC files in android. I am able to show PDF files, but I have problem to show the .DOC, .DOCX, .PPT and .xls files. With the help of WORD-EXTRACTOR we can fetch the text of the doc file but the problem is it only gives text not images from .doc file.

I searched to convert the doc file to PDF file but didn't succeed. Is it possible to convert the .doc files to PDF on device ?

If we want to show the .doc or .docx document in the android devices so which library is useful to do so? Any suggestions?
