Document Conversion

Is there any builtin function to convert doc,excel,ppt,text etc documents to PDF and vice versa.

Hi Sanjit,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products. We do have built in APIs for some of the conversions.

1. Text to PDF:
You can convert text to PDF using built in APIs of Essential PDF.

2. Doc To PDF:
This can be done by using Essential DocIO and Essential PDF. However, currently we do not have full support for this feature. We provide it as utility for those who own both the products. This can be used only for the converting "simple" word documents to PDF.

You can find the samples for the above two at the following url:

3. PPT to PDF:
Currently we do not have support for converting PPT to PDF.Also we do not have any immediate plans for implementing this feature in the near future.

4. Excel to PDF:
This can be done by using Essential XlsIO and Essential PDF. However, as in case of Doc To Pdf, currently we do not have full support for this feature. We provide it as utility for those who own both Essential XlsIO and Essential PDF. These can not convert complex excel files to PDF.

You can find a sample regarding this at the following url.

Please take a look into it and let me know if you have any queries.

Hi Dhivya,

Which version of Syncfusion has the complete Excel to PDF conversion in place? I am trying to convert a slightly complex Excel spreadsheet to PDF using Syncfusion v4.4.051. Unfortunately, I get the "index was outside the bounds of the array" exception when I programmatically try to open the workbook. Is it worth trying to install v5.1.0.51 or is the PDF conversion feature still the same as 4.4.0.51?

Thanks,
Radhika

Hi Dhivya,

I did install v5.1.0.51 but that still did not do it. The worksheet opens fine this time but during SaveAsXml(..), I get the familiar "object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception.

Guess the new version doesn't support comprehensive XLS to PDF conversion either. Please advise if otherwise.

Thanks,
Radhika
