Server-side helper library - Word documents to SFDT format

[Lajos Djerfi]

In this (https://www.syncfusion.com/products/javascript/document-editor) article, you wrote about server-side helper library which converts Word documents to SFDT format. 

Can you provide me a backend code, so i can implement it in my example.

Hi Lajos,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Our Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor library is available in NET Standard 2.0 framework that helps in converting Word documents to SFDT format which is supported by EJ2 Document editor web component. You can find this package from following link.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor/

Please find the sample code for converting Word document stream to SFDT format in your web API controller below. Kindly try this and let us know if this helps you. 

/// <summary> 

/// Converts the document from given stream as SFDT string. 

/// </summary> 

/// <param name="stream">The document stream.</param> 

/// <param name="formatType">The format type. It may be DOCX, DOC, RTF, WordML or Txt.</param> 

/// <returns>SFDT format string.</returns> 

public string ConvertDocument(Stream stream, Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor.FormatType formatType) 

{ 

    string sfdtText = ""; 

    Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor.WordDocument document = Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor.WordDocument.Load(stream, formatType); 

    sfdtText = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(document); 

    document.Dispose(); 

    return sfdtText; 

}

• Table not stable
  
• Page size not correct
  
• Bullet character fail to square shape like an empty checkbox
  
• Images take too long to show (> 10 seconds)
