Re: Conversion of Word doc having links to external files fa
We checked your sample and it worked without a problem. "Before printing timeout" error indicates there is a problem in your MS Word installation. This error arises in this way:
1. You invoke ConvertFile method of Automation API to convert your Word document
2. Print2Flash invokes MS Word and instructs it to print your document on the Print2Flash Printer
3. However, during the timeout specified in the BeforePrintingTimeout property of BatchProcessingOptions object MS Word has not started printing. Print2Flash waits for this timeout and returns "Before printing timeout" error in this situation. Print2Flash can do nothing better in this case as it is a virtual printer and it cannot convert a document without a printing application sending a document to the Print2Flash Printer. So the problem lies in your MS Word installation.
Please try to re-install MS Word or install another version of MS Word or install another application capable of printing of .doc files, e.g. OpenOffice.
