Load a vector image (SVG) for conversion in C#

SVG

To load an SVG image for conversion, use the LoadFromFile method from the GdPictureDocumentConverter class.

LoadFromFile accepts:

When loading SVG, you can pass DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatUNKNOWN and let the toolkit detect the format.

LoadFromFile returns a GdPictureStatus, which should always be checked before conversion.

To load and convert an SVG image from local storage, use the following code:

using GdPicture14;
using System;


using GdPictureDocumentConverter converter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter();


GdPictureStatus status = converter.LoadFromFile(
    @"C:\temp\source.svg",
    DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatUNKNOWN);


if (status != GdPictureStatus.OK)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"LoadFromFile failed: {status}");
    return;
}


status = converter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");
if (status != GdPictureStatus.OK)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"SaveAsPDF failed: {status}");
}
