OSDC V11.0 New Features

Learn about the enhanced features in Office Server Document Converter V11.0.

Add hyperlinks to page numbers in indexes created in Word

When converting from Word (docx) to PDF, the page number of the index page is linked to the registered string of the output page.

-indexhyperlink value (command line example)

1: Link to the registered string on the index page or before.
2: Support for linking to registered strings on pages after the index page too (processing time will be doubled).

With OSDC V11.0, a function to add a hyperlink to the page number of each index entry on an index page created in Word (docx) has been added.
Although hyperlinks are not added to index items in Word, OSDC allows you to attach hyperlinks to PDFs output from Word.

Index of Word (docx) files

Index converted by OSDC V11.0 and hyperlinked. Click on a page number to go to the index source.

Restrictions

Indexes are created at the page position of index entries during PDF output, so page numbers of index entries may not be the same as in Word.
If there are multiple index entry strings on the same page, output multiple page numbers for an index entry.
If multiple index entries are grouped on a single line on the index page, only the first index entry is hyperlinked.
Index entries enclosed in double quotes (") may result in incorrect index output.
If index entries are inserted consecutively in a document, the hyperlink function is enabled only for subsequent index entries.
In vertically written documents, the position of the link may not be output correctly.
Documents that have been manually edited inside the index field may not output the index correctly.

“textwarp” attribute of the Option Setting File

Since the WordArt rendering function has been changed in OSDC V11.0, the rendering results may differ from those of V10.0 and earlier.
To make the WordArt rendering the same as the older version, specify the “textwarp” attribute in the Option Setting File.

textwarp: If you want the WordArt rendering to be the same as the older version, specify the attribute value “0”.
The following is an example of an Option Setting File.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

  <dfv-settings textwarp="0"></dfv-settings>
