asp.net core
xamarin
//Load an existing Word document

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("Template.docx", FormatType.Docx);

//Initialize chart to image converter for converting charts during Word to pdf conversion

wordDocument.ChartToImageConverter = new ChartToImageConverter();

//Create an instance of DocToPDFConverter

DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();

//Convert Word document into PDF document

PdfDocument pdfDocument = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);

//Save the PDF file

Dim converter As New DocToPDFConverter()

'Convert Word document into PDF document

Dim pdfDocument As PdfDocument = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument)

'Save the PDF file

pdfDocument.Save("WordtoPDF.pdf")

'Close the instance of document objects

pdfDocument.Close(True)

wordDocument.Close()
// Open the file as Stream

FileStream docStream = new FileStream(@"Template.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

//Loads file stream into Word document

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(docStream, Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Automatic);

//Instantiation of DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion

DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();

//Converts Word document into PDF document

PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);

//Releases all resources used by the Word document and DocIO Renderer objects

render.Dispose();

wordDocument.Dispose();

//Save the document into stream

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

pdfDocument.Save(stream);

stream.Position = 0;

//Close the documents

pdfDocument.Close(true);

//Defining the ContentType for pdf file

string contentType = "application/pdf";

//Define the file name

string fileName = " WordtoPDF.pdf";

//Creates a FileContentResult object by using the file contents, content type, and file name

return File(stream, contentType, fileName);
//Load the Word document as stream

Stream docStream = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Sample.Assets.Template.docx");

//Load the stream into word document

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(docStream, Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Automatic);

//Instantiation of DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion

wordDocument.Dispose();

//Save the document into memory stream

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

pdfDocument.Save(stream);

stream.Position = 0;

//Close the document 

pdfDocument.Close();

//Save the stream into pdf file

//The operation in Save under Xamarin varies between Windows Phone, Android and iOS platforms. Please refer PDF/Xamarin section for respective code samples

if (Device.OS == TargetPlatform.WinPhone || Device.OS == TargetPlatform.Windows)
{
    Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISaveWindowsPhone>().Save("WordtoPDF.pdf", "application/pdf", stream);
}
else
{
    Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISave>().Save("WordtoPDF.pdf", "application/pdf", stream);
}

Note:

Initializing the ChartToImageConverter is mandatory to convert the charts present in the Word document to PDF. Otherwise the charts will not be exported to the converted PDF.
ChartToImageConverter is supported from .NET Framework 4.0 onwards.
Total number of pages may vary based on unsupported elements in the converted PDF document when compare to Word document.

Customizing the Word document to PDF conversion

Essential DocIO allows you to customize the Word to PDF conversion with the below options:

Allows to determine the quality of the charts in the converted PDF

Allows to reduce the Main Memory usage in Word to PDF conversion by reusing the identical images.

c#
vb.net
asp.net core
xamarin
//Loads an existing Word document

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("Sample_Image.docx", FormatType.Docx);

//Initialize chart to image converter for converting charts during Word to pdf conversion

Converting TIFF to PDF

Converting multi page TIFF to PDF

Multi frame TIFF image can be converted to PDF document. This can be done by accessing each frame of the multi frame TIFF image and rendering it in each page of the PDF document.

The code snippet to illustrate the same is given below.

c#
vb.net
uwp
asp.net core
xamarin
//Create a PDF document

PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument();

//Load multi frame TIFF image

PdfBitmap tiffImage = new PdfBitmap("image.tiff");

//Get the frame count

int frameCount = tiffImage.FrameCount;

//Access each frame and draw into the page

for (int i = 0; i < frameCount; i++)

{

	//Add a section to the PDF document

	PdfSection section = pdfDocument.Sections.Add();

	//Set page margins

	section.PageSettings.Margins.All = 0;

	//Create a PDF unit converter instance

	PdfUnitConvertor converter = new PdfUnitConvertor();

Converting XPS document to PDF

The XPS (XML Paper Specification) document format is a fixed document format which consists of structured XML markup that defines the layout of a document and the visual appearance of each page, along with rendering rules for distributing, archiving, rendering, processing and printing the documents.

Essential PDF provides support for converting XPS to PDF using XPSToPdfConverter class.

The below code illustrates how to convert XPS to PDF.

c#
vb.net
uwp
asp.net core
xamarin
//Create converter class

XPSToPdfConverter converter = new XPSToPdfConverter();

//Convert the XPS to PDF

PdfDocument document = converter.Convert(xpsFileName);

//Save and close the document

document.Save("Sample.pdf");

document.Close(true);
'Create converter class

Dim converter As New XPSToPdfConverter()

'Convert the XPS to PDF

Dim document As PdfDocument = converter.Convert(xpsFileName)

'Save and close the document

document.Save("Sample.pdf")

document.Close(True)
//Create converter class

XPSToPdfConverter converter = new XPSToPdfConverter();

//Load the XPS file

Stream fileStream = typeof(MainPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Sample.Assets.input.xps");

//Convert the XPS to PDF

PdfDocument document = converter.Convert(fileStream);

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

//Save the document

await document.SaveAsync(memoryStream);

//Close the documents

document.Close(true);

//Save the stream as PDF document file in local machine. Refer to PDF/UWP section for respected code samples.

Save(memoryStream, "Sample.pdf");
//Initialize XPS to PDF converter.

XPSToPdfConverter converter = new XPSToPdfConverter();

//Open the XPS file as stream.

FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(“Input.xps", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);

//Convert the XPS to PDF

PdfDocument document = converter.Convert(fileStream);

//Creating the stream object

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); 

//Save the document into stream.

document.Save(stream); 

//If the position is not set to '0' then the PDF will be empty.

stream.Position = 0;

//Close the documents.

document.Close(true); 

//Defining the ContentType for pdf file.

string contentType = "application/pdf";

//Define the file name. 

string fileName = "Output.pdf"; 

//Creates a FileContentResult object by using the file contents, content type, and file name. 

return File(stream, contentType, fileName);
//Essential PDF supports converting XPS document to PDF only in Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC and UWP platforms.

NOTE

Essential PDF supports converting XPS to PDF with Syncfusion.XpsToPdfConverter.Net.Core package reference in .NET Core application.

Converting PDF to Image

PDF pages can be converted into images. To add PDF to image functionality in an application, add the following assemblies as reference to the project:

Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll
Syncfusion.Pdf.Base.dll

The following code snippet illustrates how to convert PDF page into image.

c#
vb.net
//Load the existing PDF document

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument("HTTP Succinctly.pdf");

//Get the PDF page count

int count = loadedDocument.Pages.Count;

//Convert each page to image file

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{

//Export PDF page to image

Image image = loadedDocument.ExportAsImage(i);

//Save the exported image

image.Save("Image" + i + ".png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

}

//Close the document

ldoc.Close(true);
'Load the existing PDF document

Dim loadedDocument As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument("HTTP Succinctly.pdf")

'Get the PDF page count

Dim count As Integer = loadedDocument.Pages.Count

'Convert each page to image file

Dim i As Integer = 0

Do While (i < count)

'Export PDF page to image

Dim image As Image = loadedDocument.ExportAsImage(i)

'Save the exported image

image.Save(("Image"  _+ (i + ".png")), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)

i = (i + 1)

Loop

'Close the document

ldoc.Close(true)
