<MSHelp:Attr> attributes in Microsoft Help Viewer/MSHC - attributes

The help pages in the MSHelp2/HxS help format contain MSHelp:Attr attributes like this:
<MSHelp:Attr Name="DocSet" Value="Visual Basic" />
These attributes could be used for filtering content in MSHelp2/HxS viewers.
We converted HxS helps we have to the newest MSHC format using the mshcMigrate utility and are now viewing them in the Microsoft Help Viewer supplied with VS IDE. Are these MSHelp:Attr attributes are supported anyhow in the Microsoft MSHC viewer?

Can I Use Microsoft Graph to Convert MSWord Documents to Other Formats?

I want to take a .DOC or .DOCX file and convert it to another file format; e.g. PDF or HTML, etc. I don't have MS Word loaded on the local machine nor do I have an Office 365 account.
Will Microsoft Graph provide a way to do this programmatically, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks in advance for any insight or ideas!
You can do this in various ways in Office365/Graph:
Do a http GET to the drives API in MS Graph. Example:
GET /drive/items/{item-id}/content?format={format}
This also works for files in SharePoint.
See:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_get_content_format
Via the Convert File action in Microsoft Flow. See John Liu's blog on this.
Essential DocIO is an option to consider. The library can convert from Doc and Docx to PDF and doesn't rely on Microsoft Office.
The entire product is available for free with no limitations through the community license if you qualify (less than 1 million US$ in revenue per year).
Note: I work for Syncfusion
Today the Microsoft Graph doesn't provide this functionality, but it's a reasonable request. You might want to raise it over at uservoice here.
Microsoft Graph (https://graph.microsoft.io/) can't be used to convert your .DOC or .DOCX files into another format, especially if you don't have MS Word or Office365. Microsoft Graph is basically 'just' an interface to access your data/objects stored in your Office365 tennant.
Without MS Word your only option (besides third party tooling) to convert would be to use Office Open XML, but even so that wouldn't suit your need as .DOC files are not based on the open XML standard. Also rendering to PDF is also not part of the Office Open XML specifications so you need to find another service to do that if you don't want MS Word to do that for you.
So in short, to answer your question ... no you can't use Microsoft Graph to convert MSWord documents to other formats.

Programatically pick PowerView properties from Microsoft Excel 2013 file

I have a requirement to programmatically read/handle PowerView properties like title, theme, background, font-size etc. from a Microsoft Excel 2013 file. Also I need to access the properties of the objects which are added on to the PowerView, for e.g. properties of a table or a image added to the PowerView.
I have been looking for it since long, but no luck. Is there a way by which I can achieve it? Any pointers regarding this would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Power View properties are not exposed via the Excel object model.

Sharepoint 2010 Create PDF of document in document library

I have a document library in Sharepoint 2010. Is it possible to click on the check boxes next to a document name and convert the documents to pdf? I can't seem to find an option to do this. If not can I programmatically generate the pdf's and add them to the library.
Actually, if you have some programming skills you can create your own EventReceiver for every item added/updated to convert a word document to a PDF. By using Word Automation Services.
check this out:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff181518.aspx
You'll need a third party product as PDF Conversion doesn't come with SharePoint, unless you count the very basic MS-Word only conversion that is available in some editions of SharePoint 2010.
Have a look at this product, it does exactly what you want, including the checkboxes in SP2010, and can be used via workflows and web service calls as well.
Additional information as well as real world examples can be found here.
Disclaimer, I work for this vendor so it is a shameless plug. Yet it answers your question :-)
Alice,
Or you can use dynamic PDF documents, which can be integrated with Document Library as content types. Have a look at this product: it allows submitting Pdf forms using Adobe Reader (no Reader Extensions are necessary).
Disclaimer: I am using this product and happy with it. It has some limitations but nothing drastic.
Robert
MS Word provides the convert function, you can open the Word document and save as PDF format in the document library.
Also, there are some third-part tools can help you to solve this issue, such as BoostSolutions PDF Converter.
