Microsoft Word is a very popular file format for general document usage. For viewing a Word presentation in a SaaS
application or browser, HTML5 is often a much better choice because the it is faster and the user does not need any
other software or to leave the application.
The Online Word to HTML5 converter is a free online service to convert single Microsoft Word documents into HTML5
content. It makes use of LibreOffice (an Open Source office suite which can also be run on a server) to convert
Microsoft Word documents to PDF. BuildVu then converts the PDF file to HTML5. This two step approach generates much
higher quality HTML5 files than the direct HTML output from LibreOffice.
BuildVu is designed for customers who need to change lots of Microsoft Word documents into HTML5 to display in the
browser
BuildVu is coded in Java but can be run from any Computer language as a simple micro-service or directly. It will
run from both cloud and physical servers.
BuildVu includes lots of additional options, including the ability to process lots of documents, simple integration
with LibreOffice and much more control over the conversion process.
