[MarkLogic Dev General] How to convert pdf / doc files to xml when storying into marklogic - reg.,

[Danny Sokolsky]

Hi Santhosh,

If you look in the CPF documentation (http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/books/cpf.pdf), chapter 9 describes the default conversion option.

You cannot just specify and xsd file and have it transform your document to that schema.  You have to write code to tell it how to transform it.

If you install the default conversion option (even without the conversion license), you can still convert html documents (to xhtml and simplified docbook formats).  That will give you a pretty good idea of the output it creates with word and pdf documents.

Hi Danny,

        Thnaks for your reply,I can understand your point. What i need to know is  if i am using conversion license then

1)  How/Where can i specify any xsd that the generated(converted) xml file should follow.

2) In what name the xml file will be stored.

3) send me some sample file that you have converted. (i.e, pdf/doc , xhtml, xml files)\
        Original pdf/doc file
        Generated xhtml file
        Generated docbook xml file.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Santhosh,

You need to have a conversion license to run the pdf or office conversion built-in XQuery functions-it is not included in the community license.    Once you have the license, the conversion built-ins convert the binary files (pdf, word, and so on) to XHTML, and then there is a CPF process to clean up the XML and produce docbook.  If you wanted to transform it at that point to some other structure, you could write some code to perform that transformation.

Hi all,

       I have only community version of Marklogic Server. In community version  we can't convert pdf/doc files to xml format. It is stored as binary file.

1)  While storing in Marklogic If we want to convert the doc / pdf file to xml and then store it to marklogic then what to do.

2) can we specify any xsd (schema file) for the conversion to take place.  If else if marklogic itself uses any schema which schema it uses.

If you give me the sample doc / pdf , schema file, and the converted xml file.  Steps to follow to convert pdf/doc file to xml It will be more useful.

Thanks and Regards,
