Hi,

I have used the api to turn .docx to .txt files successfully.

What I need is to turn .doc to .txt too.

Is there anyway of doing this using phpdocx?

Thanks,

If I cannot, can I convert the .doc file to .docx?

Thanks,

Hello,

There's no method to transform DOC to TXT but you can use http://www.wagner.pp.ru/~vitus/software/catdoc/ if you're using Linux. If you prefer to transform DOC to DOCX you need to use a macro and this method:

Hello,

Sorry but the community version lacks of a lot of options that are included in payment versions.
