Anyone know tools to convert ms.doc or adobe.pdf format files to Wiki format? Like a script or website .. There is a gentleman who would like to contribute his German-language textbook to the project and has everything ready in these two formats. It is 150 pages w- 100 images, not a quick porting document.
Also, Sanford is asking about printing capabilities. Any word there ? Such as from the Rice project?
Good will to all, Karl

There is an HTML to wikipedia convertor, so you could use html as a midway ground. Although MS Word produces attrocious html, so it might need to be cleaned up a bit (although IIRC Macromedia dreamweaver comes with some software especially designed to clean up MS word html).

Hi, this no "gentleman" but this one looking for convert a book to wiki. Thanks for help. But I´m only - sorry - a win user.
What ist tarbal? I can not open it.
The htm from word is not so good - in the int. expl. it is not correct, in netscape it is chaos. We will see - if I can open it.
Till now I found no other programm for free convert pdf to htm, what seems to be the best way for all - it is clear - no frames... There is one making one htm for every page of the book and a list of all, that´s ok but the free version works only with five pages. verypdf.com
So, if it can opened by win. I will try.
best wishes

Hi, first: I can open the htm to wiki with the 7ZIP but not work with it, it is not to start on DOS ??
But I can work - on DOS ! - with one pdf-to-htm (pdftohtml-0.36)
It makes an index-htm with on the left to click the pages, all the text in pages and it brings the pictures to the pages but not the layout I did. But it is OK.
The jpgs are singular, the text is one file - alltogether 1,5 MB
To work with it in netscape editor takes much time but can done.
What´s to do with it.
For the list-people: It is a textbook in german teaching all about traditional photography (no automatic) and especially shows the greatformatcamera, for if you know all about photography if you know thisone.
Cameras/ color/ lightmessuring/ film/ shift/ scheimpflug/ image in the PC - really all. 130 pages 100 images

SORRY - but in the middle of the photogr. textbook much images are not included.
So I can´t do.
If someone - a german group ? - is interested in the book, it is as a pdf at:
