The following code example illustrates how to convert a Word document into a 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)
