Michael,
Regarding SVG image format:
To ensure proper rendering of SVG images in Word documents during mail
merge, it is important to provide fallback bitmap images. In Microsoft Word, a
fallback bitmap image is automatically created when inserting an SVG image. As
similarly in Syncfusion DocIO also requires a fallback image to handle SVGs
correctly during rendering and conversion.
Case 1: Using Bitmap Images
You can directly use the bitmap image (e.g.,
PNG) in place of an SVG, the image renders correctly in the Word document
without any issues. Refer to the code snippet to use bitmap images.
|
FileStream imageStream = new
FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Data/Buyers.png"),
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
args.ImageStream = imageStream;
|
Case 2: Using SVG with Fallback Bitmap Images
If you want to use an SVG image, you can
provide both the SVG image and a fallback bitmap image. The fallback image is
used for rendering and conversion in Word, while the SVG remains in the file. Refer
to the code snippet to set up SVG and the fallback image in DocIO.

FileStream imageStream = new
FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Data/Buyers.png"),
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
args.ImageStream = imageStream;
byte[] imageBytes =
File.ReadAllBytes(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Data/Buyers.png"));
byte[] svgData =
File.ReadAllBytes(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Data/" +
ProductFileName));
WPicture picture = args.Picture;
picture.LoadImage(svgData,imageBytes);
