I'm slowly packaging up all the code I've been writing lately for Google Docs Listing API.

I am building quite a few bite size modules that do various things with Google Docs.

kinlane-productions2 Today I cleaned up a piece of PHP code that will upload file to Google Docs using API, then export various file types.

If it is a .doc file, it will convert to:
  • .pdf
  • .png
  • .swf
  • .txt
    • kinlane-productions2
  • .html
If it is a .ppt file, it will convert to:
  • .pdf
  • .png
  • .swf
  • .txt
This code is a stripped down version of the Zend - Google Docs API PHP language library, and requires the Zend Gdata Library to run.
