PDF Converter for .NET

Introduction to PDF Converter for .NET

The PDF Converter for .NET is a powerful plugin that allows developers to convert various file formats to PDF documents. This guide provides an overview of the available features, along with code examples in C# to get you started.

Converting Excel Files to PDF

To convert Excel files to PDF, you can use the Aspose.Cells namespace. Here’s a simple example:

using Aspose.Cells;

// Load the Excel file
Workbook workbook = new Workbook("example.xlsx");

// Convert the Excel file to PDF
workbook.Save("output.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

In this example, we load an Excel file using the Workbook class and then save it as a PDF file using the Save method.

Converting Images to PDF

To convert images to PDF, you can use the System.Drawing namespace in conjunction with Aspose.Cells. Here’s an example:

using System.Drawing;
using Aspose.Cells;

// Create a new workbook
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

// Add the image to the workbook
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
worksheet.Pictures.Add(1, 1, "image.png");

// Convert the workbook to PDF
workbook.Save("output.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

In this example, we load an image file and add it to a new workbook, and then save the workbook as a PDF file.

Customizing PDF Output

You can customize the PDF output by using various options provided by the PdfSaveOptions class. For example:

using Aspose.Cells;

// Load the Excel file
Workbook workbook = new Workbook("example.xlsx");

// Create a new PdfSaveOptions object
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();

// Set the PDF compression
options.PdfCompression = PdfCompressionCore.Flate;

// Set the compliance level to PDF/A-1b
options.Compliance = PdfCompliance.PdfA1b;

// Convert the Excel file to PDF with custom options
workbook.Save("output.pdf", options);

In this example, we create a new PdfSaveOptions object and set the compression and compliance. We then pass this object to the Save method to convert the Excel file to PDF with custom options.
