Creating a PDF from a Word File
To create a PDF from a Word file, follow these steps:
-
Create a
GdPictureDocumentConverter
object. -
Load the source document by passing its path to the
LoadFromFile
method. Recommended: Specify the source document format with a member of theDocumentFormat
enumeration. -
Save the output in a new PDF document with the
SaveAsPDF
method.
The example below creates a PDF document from a Word file:
using GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter(); // Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.docx", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatDOCX); // Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");
Using gdpictureDocumentConverter As GdPictureDocumentConverter = New GdPictureDocumentConverter() ' Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("C:\temp\source.docx", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatDOCX) ' Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF("C:\temp\output.pdf") End Using

Optional Configuration Properties
Optionally, configure the conversion with the following properties of the GdPictureDocumentConverter
object:
-
PageRange
specifies the pages included in the conversion. Use commas and hyphens to define the pattern. For example,"1,5,9-12"
specifies pages 1, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12. -
TrackOfficeDocumentRevisions
is a Boolean value that specifies whether to display Track Changes revisions in the output PDF file.
The example below creates a PDF document from a Word file with a custom configuration:
using GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter(); // Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.docx", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatDOCX); // Configure the conversion. gdpictureDocumentConverter.PageRange = "1,5,9-12"; // Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");
Using gdpictureDocumentConverter As GdPictureDocumentConverter = New GdPictureDocumentConverter() ' Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("C:\temp\source.docx", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatDOCX) ' Configure the conversion. gdpictureDocumentConverter.PageRange = "1,5,9-12" ' Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF("C:\temp\output.pdf") End Using
