by using the following code, i.m trying to convert the word file in to pdf on server. Sometime it works but sometime it throw an error.
Error : Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'word.application'
What could be the reason behind that.
Code:
word_app = actxserver('word.application');
word_Doc = word_app.Documents;
word_File = word_Doc.Open(file_path_docx);
word_File.SaveAs2(file_path_pdf,17);
word_Doc.Close;
word_app.Quit();

Hi Vilas,
There are several reasons why this issue can occur. If you are getting this error, it means MATLAB is not able to connect to Word due to some issue on your system. It is not a MATLAB error rather a Windows produced error.
Please see the below attached Matlab Answers thread for troubleshooting your issue:
