Please upload a file which is then processed by documents4j into the chosen output format. In order to select a suitable converter backend, also provide the format of the input file. Be however aware: This is a simple demo which is not suited for processing large files or a big amount of files. All files are converted synchronously during your requests. If the size of your document is large, this might take a while. In real-world applications, you would want to implement asynchronous processing which is detached from a HTTP request cycle. The converter implementation already supports this, this demo application does however not make use of this capability.
Important!
It seems as if this browser is running on the same machine as the converter backend. If you are opening, closing
or using an instance of a conversion software such as MS Office components, you might experience unexpected
behavior. Remember that opening files from this web page might trigger the use of an application. Be further
aware that killing the JVM that is running this application might not kill conversion process that were triggered
by this application. This is in particularly true for MS Windows processes such as MS Office components. MS Windows
requires GUI processes such as MS Office components to always be run as a child process of a MS Windows specific
GUI process. Therefore, MS Office component processes are never child processes of the JVM process and
will therefore survive a killing of the corresponding JVM process. documents4j provides a shut down hook for this
purpose, but shut down hooks are not triggered when a process is simply killed instead of shut down regularly.
