# Convert a Document

To convert a document to text, RTF, or HTML

1. Open the document. See Open and View a Document.

   To make sure that the entire document is opened before the document is saved, open the document with the `bWait` member in the TPVAPIOpenDocumentInfo structure set to `TRUE`.

   To save a document without viewing it, open the document with view mode disabled.

2. Use the VAPIMWP_CANCONVERT message to determine whether the document is completely processed and can be converted.

3. Use either the VAPIMWP_FILE_SAVEAS message to convert the document through a Save As dialog box or the VAPIM_CONVERT message to convert the document without requiring the user to respond to the Save As dialog box.

   To override the file path that VAPI uses to convert an I/O object to a temporary file when converting an I/O object document, respond to the VAPINMWP_INIT_GETTEMPFILEPATH notification message.

   NOTE: Viewing SDK does not convert PDFs, presentations, container files, or graphics files to text, RTF, or HTML.
