PDF rendition webservice

Aspose.Total Product Family

Hi,


I am evaluating Aspose.total for java for writing a generic web service for rendering any document (MS office formats, html, rtf, various image formats i.e. bmp, jpg,) into PDF?

So here is what I am looking for:
  1. A generic code that can handle selected (or all) formats without identifying type of file (based on file extension)
  2. Where a generic code can be written implementing Aspose.total for java for the above.
  3. Sample code if any
Thanks,
Manish
