Is openXml2.0 chart generation compatible with office 2007? - office-2007

I have not done any OpenXml, but the download page for OpenXml is clear that 1.0 is compatible with office 2007. The download page for OpenXml 2.0 does not specify any outlook versions at all.
If we only have office 2007 or need to be office 2007 viewable/compatible and I'm looking at generating charts in outlook from c# code, can I proceed to OpenXml 2.0? Are there issues or is it full compatibility?

This download page says that Word 2007, Excel 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 are supported by the Open XML SDK 2.0. Just take a look at the Overview section. I don't believe that Outlook is supported since I have not seen any documentation on it anywhere.
Also, if you go to the documentation for the Open XML SDK 2.0, you can see here that they only have classes for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.

Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) for Office 2016

I have heard about scanned document OCR feature in MS Office 2007.
Are there similar programs which have similar/same feature compatible with Office 2016?
According to my search and test, Office2016 has OCR function and you need to turn it on manually.
Please review link below for more details:
I beieve the OCR is available in Windows 10 or Word 2016.

API for Powerpoint add-in (Windows and Mac)

Is there a new API for developing add-ins for Office 2016 for Mac? I have seen a javascript API but I have not clear if this applies to Office for Mac 2016, Office for Windows 2013+ only or Office Web Apps only.
Please point me to an official documentation clarifying that.
Update, April 2016: MS recently made some announcements about Mac support at Build; primarily around Word & Excel. Interactive chart similar to the image below
Eventually, but not yet. The only thing that is in for Mac is Outlook Read apps.

Dynamics CRM Online 2011 vs Dynamics CRM Online 2013 [API Changes]

I am doing some research on building integrations for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration I am building will be for Dynamics CRM Online 2013, but I am curious if the 2013 version shares an API with the 2011 version.
Does anyone know if an integration built for Dynamics CRM Online 2013 will be backwards compatible with Dynamics CRM Online 2011?
Any insight here would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has good resources for working with these API's using Ruby that would be awesome...
Thanks!
I wrote some integration for CRM 2011 Online (C# and PHP/SOAP) and I can happily say both still work.
Any integration written with CRM4 in mind would need some modifications I believe (this may just be changing the endpoints) but 2011 and 2013 seem to work ok together.
If you are wanting to connect using a non .Net language be careful as it can be significantly more painful then creating a wrapper for the web service then talking to that from Ruby.
To connect with a non .Net language you need to use SOAP. I have put some posts here (PHP code but it should be easy enough to convert)

I currently don't have it working with Active Directory authentication though!
Everything that I've read about the API changes from 2011 to 2013 has boiled down to the removal of the CRM 4 aspx endpoint. Besides that, most of the changes to CRM are front end.
I read somewhere that a solution made in 2013 can't be exported in 2011. So I don't think will be retro-compatible.
Chapter-
Introduction to solutions
here it is from the SDK:
Version compatibility
Solutions exported from an older version can be imported into newer versions. Solutions exported from newer versions cannot be imported into older versions. This includes major and minor version differences.
Solutions exported from a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 environment or a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organization prior to the Fall '13 Service Update can be imported into organizations using the initial release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13 Service Update. However as updates are applied and include new features or metadata definitions, these new features or definitions cannot be included in a solution that is installed on an organization that is not current with the definition that the solution was exported from.

Outlook interop: how to make application work with both version 2007 and 2010

I have created a small application to send emails via Outlook. The application opens an Outlook mail item with various pre-configured templates.
Now, the application was first build for Outlook 2010 using the Interop version 14. When testing on Outlook 2007, the application fails to create the required MailItem. I was assuming that the Interop would be backwards compatible, but that doesn't to be the case.
I have already tried using the Interop v12 instead, but then the application doesn't work on version 2010.
How can I make this application work with both Outllok 2007 and 2010.
Cheers,
Martin
You need to develop using the lowest supported version of Outlook (2007).
What exactly does not work when running under Outlook 2010 when you are using the 2007 interop?

Is the PDF library that Microsoft uses in Excel available to the outside world?

Excel 2010 (and Word 2010, probably others) have the ability to save directly to a PDF:
and they print it without installing a "PDF printer".
Is the PDF library Microsoft is using to generate PDFs available to the outside world?
a COM object?
a codeplex open-source project?
tl;dr: How is Microsoft creating PDFs from native Win32 applications?
ABCpdf boasts Microsoft uses their product. Don't know how and where does Microsoft uses it, but it sure seems to be good pdf library.
