Automation is a separate aspect
of OLE dedicated to allowing one application to control, or automate,
another application. The application being controlled is called
an Automation server, and the one doing the controlling is called
an Automation controller or Automation client. The client establishes
the link between the two applications.
An Automation server is an
application or DLL that implements a COM object. A COM object is
an object that adheres to Microsoft's COM (Component Object Model)
specification. COM objects implement various interfaces. Other applications
or DLLs talk to the object through its interfaces. An interface
is a well-defined collection of methods and properties that can
be implemented by some object or objects.
In order to invoke an Automation server, it must be registered,
which means it must have information stored in the Windows registry
sufficient to describe and locate it.

SYNTAX
|
This dll file contain only one method: Convertit(FN1,FN2:string);
where:
FN1-the input filename with full path;
FN2-the output filename with full path.
As example, to convert C:\somefile.tif to somefile.bmp we
should call:
ConvertIt('C:\somefile.tif','C:\somefile.bmp');

MULTIPAGE IMAGE CONVERSION
|
The multipage input TIF and DCX files can be converted
to multipage DCX,TIF or PDF files.
If output filetype is differ than DCX,TIF or PDF then a set
of single-page files will be
created (somefile-page1.bmp, somefile-page2.bmp etc.) |
