Microsoft Office Decoder (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) is an add-on to DotImage.  

This add-on quickly decodes Word, Powerpoint, and Excel documents into color or grayscale raster images, seamlessly plugging into DotImage and associated image viewing components as an image decoder. 

  • Convert Office files to raster images in Atalasoft image viewer controls:

  • Use the OfficeDecoder class if you need fast rendering. Results aren't 100% accurate, but there's no requirement for Office to be installed and no security concerns.
  • Use the OfficeAdapterDecoder class if you need 100% accuracy. You will need an instance of the required Office application on your server and macros can represent a security threat.
  • Print Documents using the DotImage Printing components or by rendering onto a printer graphics object.
  • Convert Documents into any supported DotImage image format (multipage TIFF, JPEG, etc).
  • Integrates with our AJAX enabled Web Image viewer for server-side viewing, panning, and zooming of documents
