    Hi,
    does anyone know, how to call an executable file within a XLT?
    I need to call a program to convert .doc/.docx-files to pdf.
    Input -> path and name of the original file.
    Output -> path and name of the converted file.
    Regards
    Alex

      I am not sure you really want to slow down the Xlate by doing file operations during the translation but in a COPY or CALL Action you can issue the Tcl exec command.

      If it fits the problem solution perhaps consider doing the file conversion pre-xlate.

      Hi Jim,
      thank you.
      The exec command was what i’m looking for.
      Within the Xlate i check if the conversion is necessary or not.
      I need to test the performance of the Xlate now.
      Regards
      Alex
