Installing via NuGet

The easiest way to install OfficeConverter is via NuGet.

In Visual Studio's Package Manager Console, simply enter the following command:

Install-Package OfficeConverter

Converting a file from code

using (var converter = new Converter())
{
    converter.Convert(<inputfile>, <outputfile>);
}

Logging

From version 1.7.0 OfficeConverter uses the Microsoft ILogger interface (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.ilogger?view=dotnet-plat-ext-5.0). You can use any logging library that uses this interface.

OfficeConverter has some build in loggers that can be found in the OfficeConverter.Logger namespace.

For example

var logger = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(<some logfile>)
                ? new OfficeConverter.Loggers.Stream(File.OpenWrite(<some logfile>))
                : new OfficeConverter.Loggers.Console();
