can anyone recommend a good tool to convert documents to HTML on the
fly. I need to integrate this tool with a VB app so it must have an
API.
thanks in advance

90% of all docs will be office documents. The other 10% are pdf's, gif, jpeg and bmp

Which office documents?
pdfs can be run through any of a number of filters. Try googling for
them. .gifs and jpegs can already be displayed inline by most browsers
that are capable of displaying images. .bmps need to be converted to jpgs
or pngs or gifs.

Have you not investigated the object models of each Office app? Word, for
example, gives you access to a Document object, which has a SaveAs method,
one of whose parameters is FileFormat, which can take a value of
wdFormatHTML (this is Word XP). You may also be save as Compact HTML by
experimenting with the FileConverters object.
Have a look at this, to get you started. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ordObjects.asp

Yes, but the HTML that word produces is absolute GARBAGE!
Philip.
i have tried the the word office model...it worked well although i was
looking for something alittle more sophisticated. For example,
converting a word doc with 40+ pages would give me 1 large html rather
than linked pages.
Currently i am using net-it-central...this works great but its TOO
expensive for us to buy another license.

(Further context vanished because the quoted text was part of the sig.
Please have a read of http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm).
Maybe your readers might just care? I tried using Word-generated HTML
just once. It was horrible. My hand-coded version took 2 seconds to load
from my local hard disk. The Word-generated version took 30 seconds.
(That's not a typo - it took about fifteen times as long!!) By the time
it had come from a server over a modem link, you can be pretty sure that
most of my visitors would have gone elsewhere.

On top-posting:
Thanks for the link to that intelligent article, which did make me think
about it again, despite an initial hostile prejudice. In general I ignore
off-topic complaints about posting style as the mostly come from fuss-pots
and are mainly noise - I do acknowledge that your comments here are informed
and useful. However, I'm not going to stop top-posting, because I strongly
prefer it, and I'm voting with my postings, as it were. I also rather like
OE, which happens to make bottom-posting awkward. Even if there was an
option to reverse OE's top-posting into bottom-posting I wouldn't use it.
Some folk will rail against violation of "standards" , and always against
Microsoft, but there are more important issues in my own life. I've taken
on board those points the article made about quoting, though.
Amusingly, one of my hobby horses is postings which take you off-topic
without changing the subject line. Tut, tut... :-)
I'll get back the HTML thread in a reply to Stephen...
