Faster than JODCONVERTER [closed]

Question

I have been improving a document management project and one requirement is to render documents(word, pdf, etc) in web page. Pdf can be rendered with iframe, object or embed tag and servlet. But the other documents like word, excel can not be rendered in the web page. My solution is to convert these documents to pdf or html on rendering and render them like this. I've tried to convert them with JODCONVERTER and it does convert but converting a word(docx) almost with 700 pages to pdf 25-30 sec, to html 30-35 sec. It is too much.In the course of events, waiting for too much is not good for users. Documents will be stored our server, not another place. Is there another thing for faster conversion or better solution?

Thank!

Answer 1

You could use jodconverter + LibreOffice 3.5.* or jodconverter + OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 (I have tried both recently and they are way faster than LibreOffice 3.6+/4.0+) in combination with a lazy/parallel conversion process to improve response times.
