Newbie question about C++ example pdf to doc on Linux

frankipl2 · April 2, 2020, 9:12am

Hi all
I need to convert pdf to doc or docx on Linux server, I have downloaded Aspose.Pdf-for-C but they are configured for Windows and Visual Basic, aspose.pdf.h contains lots of Windows header includes and they are difficult to come by on Linux.
Are there some examples for Linux, simple conversion pdf to doc, which headers to include and so on.
Best,
Marek

Hi All
I have managed to compile Aspose.Pdf with Qt project, but I cannot make a conversion to doc.
Program is crashing with info (when using example from github)

github.com

aspose-pdf/Aspose.PDF-for-C/blob/master/Examples/PdfCPP/Conversion/ConvertToDOC.cpp

#include "..\Aspose.Pdf.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace Aspose::Pdf;

void ConvertToDOC()
{
	// ExStart:ConvertToDoc	
	auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"..\\Data\\Document\\input.pdf");
	doc->Save(u"..\\Data\\Document\\input_out.doc", MakeObject<DocSaveOptions>());
	// ExEnd:ConvertToDoc	
}

  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'System::ExceptionWrapper<System::Details_NullReferenceException>'
  what():  System::NullReferenceException

Or does not compile when using this approach

With info Doc is not a member of SaveFormat

Best,
Marek
