saveAsBlob Format PDF

[Erwin Herdiansyah]

is it possible to use the saveAsBlob method in pdf format (saveAsBlob ("Pdf")) or something that can convert word documents to pdf on the client side ?

Hi John,  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

At present, we don’t have support for converting word document to pdf in client side. We have logged this as feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. We will update you when this feature has been implemented.  

https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/4301/client-side-word-to-pdf-conversion 

But we have support for converting word document to pdf in server side by sending the document to web server as demonstrated in in below link.  

Client Side:  

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/document-editor/export/?no-cache=1#export-as-blob   

Server Side:  

Please find C# code to convert word to pdf and send it back to client side  

public IActionResult DocToPDF(IFormCollection data)  

{  

    Stream stream = new MemoryStream();  

    IFormFile file = data.Files[0];  

    var fileName = file.FileName;  

    file.CopyTo(stream);  

    stream.Position = 0;  

    Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WordDocument wordDocument = newSyncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WordDocument(stream, Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Docx);  

    //Instantiation of DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion  

    DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();  

    //Converts Word document into PDF document  

    PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);  

    //Saves the PDF file  

    MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream();  

    pdfDocument.Save(outputStream);  

    //Closes the instance of PDF document object  

    outputStream.Position = 0;  

    render.Dispose();  

    wordDocument.Dispose();  

    return File(outputStream, "application/pdf", fileName + ".pdf");  

}
