word to pdf converting

[Martin Stein]

Hi,

for the converting of a Word document to a Pdf  the  Syncfusion.DocToPdfConverter assembly is required, but it looks like it is not available  as a nuget package for UWP.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

From v16.1.0.24 onwards, we have provided support for Word to PDF conversion using .NetStandard NuGet packages in ASP.Net Core platform. We suggest you to refer .NetStandard NuGet packages in your UWP application to perform Word to PDF conversion. For your reference we have prepared a sample UWP application which refers the .NetStandard NuGet packages to perform Word to PDF conversion.

Sample link:
Word to PDF in UWP

Note: To use .NetStandard NuGet packcages in your UWP application, we recommend you kindly install Windows 10 Fall Creators Update in your production machine.

Please refer the below NuGet Feed URL in the NuGet Package Sources in your application to get .NetStandard NuGet packages:
http://nuget.syncfusion.com/nuget_aspnetcore/nuget/getsyncfusionpackages/aspnetcore

From v16.1.0.32, we have stopped shipping framework version specific NuGet packages. Instead we are including all the framework assemblies within single NuGet packages and shipping only single common NuGet package for each platform. So, please remove the old packages and install new single packages.

Please refer the below KB link to know more about Syncfusion NuGet package structure changes:

Hi,

I have added the NuGet Package Syncfusion.pdf.NetStandard as you suggested.

Now I get an error

Error CS0433 The type 'PdfLoadedDocument' exists in both 'Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable, Version=16.1140.0.37, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89' and 'Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP, Version=16.1460.0.37, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89' TrainerApp2.UWP C:\Users\xxxxx

I have removed the NuGet Package Syncfusion.pdf.UWP, without success.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your update.

We suspect that the reported problem might be due to improper PDF assembly reference in your application. We have prepared an UWP sample application and screen capture video which illustrates how to perform Word to PDF conversion in UWP platform using .NETStandard NuGet packages.

Please find the sample and video from the below link:
http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/138219/ze/Sample_with_Video-165846648.zip

Kindly refer .NETStandard NuGet packages as shown in the video and remove other unnecessary NuGet packages in your application to resolve the reported problem.

If you are still facing the same error means, kindly provide us the sample application which used at you end to reproduce the same issue.
Note: If you have any confidential data in your application, please replace with some dummy data and provide us the same. We just need your application to recreate the problem you face.


Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Mohanaselvam,

it looks like the syncfusion.SfPdfViewer.UWP Package causes the problem.
It contains the pdfViewerControl, that I need in my project.

When I remove this control and package, I can compile my project, but loose functionality.

How can I use both, Word to pdf conversion, and pdfViewer?

Kind Regards,


Martin
