Converting each page of word doc in to an image file

[Basavarajgouda]

Hi,
I am using the word application interfaces to create and open a document.
Is there a way that I can get the complete contents of each page and convert
them to some image files? I mean, page means, the header contents (as is),
the document contents and then the footer as is. If I join all these three,
the image should look exactly like a page ..I dont need the main window's
tool bar and menu bar stuffs. Can anyone help me out in this regard? Thanks
in advance.

What do you want to do with the image?

You could make .pdf's of each page by printing to a PDF printer. They can
then be saved in various image formats. Likewise with a Snagit printer.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your reply.

I work for a medical project, wherein, physicians generate the reports by
attaching one or more images. I have made some common attributes like patient
name, DOB and other attributes as doc variables so that I can updated them
once and they appear at more than one places. I use a book mark for placing
the images.
Its working beautifully.

Now, my customer dont want to create the document. He wants to save it as a
series (in medical terms) (you can consider this as a folder of images) with
all the pages burnt as images. Hence the requirement of creating image from a
page has come. I was thinking about pasting the contents to clipboard and
then create the image out of the clipboard data.

Please help.

Download the trial version of SnagIt which will add a 'printer' driver to
your system with which you can output any printable document to images in a
variety of formats. The trial should establish whether this will do what you
need.

Doug has already helped you.
Do not go the clipboard way... it is way too complicated...
By far, the easiest is to convert to PDF, and from there, convert to JPG or
whatever image format you prefer...

If you want to automate the whole thing and can work with TIFF files, you
can print to the "Microsoft Document Image Writer" (Word 2003 and above...)
