Nutrient.NET SDK (formerly GdPicture.NET) includes the ability to convert any supported file type into Word.

To save an RTF document to a Word document (DOCX), first use the [`LoadFromFile` method](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~LoadFromFile.html) of the [`GdPictureDocumentConverter` class](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter.html) to load it. Then use the [`SaveAsDOCX` method](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~SaveAsDOCX.html) to convert it to a DOCX.

The `LoadFromFile` method uses the following parameter:

- `FilePath` — The source RTF file path.

- `DocumentFormat` — A member of the [`DocumentFormat` enumeration](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.html). Use `DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatRTF` for RTF input.

The `SaveAsDOCX` method uses the following parameter:

- `Stream`, or the overload `FilePath` — A stream or file path where the currently loaded document is saved as a DOCX file. When using a stream, it must be open for reading, writing, and seeking.

When you use the stream overload, the stream should be open for both reading and writing, and it should be closed/disposed of by the user once processing is complete using the [`CloseDocument` method](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~CloseDocument.html).

## How to convert RTF to DOCX

1. Create a `GdPictureDocumentConverter` object.

2. Load the source RTF file with [`GdPictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(String, DocumentFormat)`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~LoadFromFile.html) using `DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatRTF`.

3. Save the loaded document as a DOCX using [`SaveAsDOCX`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~SaveAsDOCX.html).

The following example converts and saves an RTF document to a DOCX file:

### C#

```csharp

using GdPictureDocumentConverter converter = new();

GdPictureStatus status = converter.LoadFromFile(@"input.rtf", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatRTF);
if (status!= GdPictureStatus.OK)
{
    throw new Exception(status.ToString());
}

status = converter.SaveAsDOCX("output.docx");
if (status!= GdPictureStatus.OK)
{
    throw new Exception(status.ToString());
}

status = converter.CloseDocument();
if (status!= GdPictureStatus.OK && status!= GdPictureStatus.Aborted)
{
    throw new Exception(status.ToString());
}

Console.WriteLine("The input document has been converted to a docx file");

```

## Optional DOCX configuration properties

Optionally, configure the conversion with the following properties of the `GdPictureDocumentConverter` object:

- [`DocxImageQuality`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~DocxImageQuality.html) is an integer from 0 to 100 that specifies the quality used to compress images embedded in the resulting DOCX document.

- [`RasterizationDPI`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~RasterizationDPI.html) is an integer that specifies the resolution, expressed in dots per inch (DPI), used when vector content must be rasterized during conversion to DOCX.
