Is it possible to perform Word to PDF conversion in Azure Environment in ASP.NET WebForms?
Yes, it is possible to perform Word document to PDF conversion in Azure Web sites using Essential® DocIO and PDF libraries.
Step 1:
Create an Azure web site project and refer the below Word document to PDF dependent assemblies on it.
- Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll
- Syncfusion.OfficeChart.Base.dll
- Syncfusion.DocIO.Base.dll
- Syncfusion.DocToPDFConverter.Base.dll
- Syncfusion.Pdf.Base.dll
- Syncfusion.OfficeChartToImageConverter.Wpf.dll
- Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.dll
The following code example illustrates how to convert a Word document into PDF document.
C#:
//Loading word document
WordDocument document = new WordDocument(fileName, FormatType.Docx);
document.ChartToImageConverter = new ChartToImageConverter();
DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();
//Converts the word document to PDF
PdfDocument pdf = converter.ConvertToPDF(document);
//Saves the PDF document
pdf.Save("WordtoPDF.pdf", Response, HttpReadType.Save);
document.close() ;
VB:
'Loading word document
Dim document As New WordDocument(stream, FormatType.Docx)
document.ChartToImageConverter = New ChartToImageConverter()
Dim converter As New DocToPDFConverter()
'Converts the word document to PDF
Dim pdf As PdfDocument = converter.ConvertToPDF(document)
'Saves the PDF document
pdf.Save("WordtoPDF.pdf", Response, HttpReadType.Save)
document.close()
