Description

Provide a standalone implementation of a service to generate PDFs from OpenXML (.docx) that can be registered as a hidden service, and injected into domain objects so that they are able to convert their draft OpenXML (.docx) format (eg as obtained via ISIS-172) into an immutable PDF format.

NB: OpenXML .docx are flow-based format, and is generally considered mutable format, whereas PDF is a page-based format, and as such may be preferred as the "canonical" way to store outbound correspondence from an organization.

The interface for such a service could be something like:

[Hidden]
public interface FormatConversionService

{ byte[] openXmlToPdf(byte[] openXml); }
