How would you compare abiword for doc/docx conversion versus antiword (http://www.winfield.demon.nl/ http://www.winfield.demon.nl/)?
Also, what are the limitations of abiword for doc/docx files?
- _raghu 15y agoHaven't tried antiword. As of now I find abiword pretty stable for both doc and docx. I need more data but I found a few cases where it just hanged while converting. There is no specific pattern to when the program hangs. For now I am logging such cases and timing out the conversion in 3 seconds.
- dpapathanasiou 15y agoThanks. Where do you get your doc files? Are they the just ones submitted to your site, or is there a pastebin or similar repo of doc files?
