Do you have any product to convert .hed files to pdf and .hl7 files to pdf.

Summary
There is no dedicated Aspose product that converts .hed or .hl7 files directly to PDF. Both formats are typically plain‑text (or in some cases binary for .hed), so you would need to read the file contents yourself and then create a PDF using a general‑purpose Aspose library such as Aspose.PDF (or Aspose.Words if you need richer formatting).

Why it happens

  • .hl7 files usually contain HL7 v2.x messages, which are simple pipe‑delimited text. Aspose does not provide a built‑in HL7‑to‑PDF converter, but any text can be written to a PDF page with Aspose.PDF.
  • .hed is not a recognized document type in the Aspose portfolio. In many contexts it is just an ASCII/UTF‑8 header file, but it can also be a binary format. Because the format is ambiguous, Aspose does not ship a specific .hed‑to‑PDF converter.

What to do next

  1. Inspect the files – Open the .hl7 and .hed files in a text editor. If they display readable characters, treat them as text; if the .hed file appears binary, you will need to parse it first.
  2. Choose a generic Aspose library –
  • For plain‑text PDFs, add Aspose.PDF to your project.
  • If you need advanced layout (tables, headings, custom fonts), consider Aspose.Words and then save the document as PDF.
  1. Read the file content in your code (e.g., using Files.readAllBytes in Java or File.ReadAllText in .NET) and pass the resulting string to the Aspose API to create a PDF page.
  2. Create the PDF – Use the appropriate API calls (Document/Page/TextFragment in Aspose.PDF, or DocumentBuilder in Aspose.Words) to write the text and then save the document as PDF.
  3. Handle binary .hed files – If the file is not plain text, you will need to develop a custom parser that extracts the information you want to display, and then feed that extracted text to the Aspose PDF/Words workflow.
  4. Trial / licensing – If you do not have a license, you can download a free 30‑day trial of the relevant Aspose product from the Aspose website and test the conversion.

Note: The information above is based on the general capabilities of Aspose libraries; the evidence retrieved does not contain a specific product that performs .hed → PDF or .hl7 → PDF conversion out‑of‑the‑box.
