Getting Started

After adding a reference to the library to your project, you are ready to start converting Word documents to PDF in your .NET application. You can copy the C# code from the section below to create a PDF document from a Word document and save the resulting PDF to a memory buffer for further processing, to a PDF file or send it to the browser for download in ASP.NET applications.

C# Code Samples

At the top of your C# source file add the using WnvWordToPdf; statement to make the Winnovative Word to PDF API available in your .NET application.

// add this using statement at the top of your C# file
using WnvWordToPdf;

To convert a Word file to a PDF file you can use the C# code below.

// create the converter object in your code where you want to run conversion
WordToPdfConverter converter = new WordToPdfConverter();

// convert the Word file to a PDF file
converter.ConvertWordFileToFile("my_word_file_path", "WordToFile.pdf");

To convert a Word file to a PDF document in a memory buffer and then save it to a file you can use the C# code below.

// create the converter object in your code where you want to run conversion
WordToPdfConverter converter = new WordToPdfConverter();

// convert a Word file to a memory buffer
byte[] wordToPdfBuffer = converter.ConvertWordFile("my_word_file_path");

// write the memory buffer to a PDF file
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("WordToMemory.pdf", wordToPdfBuffer);

To convert in your ASP.NET MVC application for .NET Framework a Word file to a PDF document in a memory buffer and then send it for download to browser you can use the C# code below.

// create the converter object in your code where you want to run conversion
WordToPdfConverter converter = new WordToPdfConverter();

// convert a Word file to a memory buffer
byte[] wordToPdfBuffer = converter.ConvertWordFile("my_word_file_path");

FileResult fileResult = new FileContentResult(wordToPdfBuffer, "application/pdf");
fileResult.FileDownloadName = "WordToPdf.pdf";
return fileResult;

To convert in your ASP.NET Web Forms application for .NET Framework a Word file to a PDF document in a memory buffer and then send it for download to browser you can use the C# code below.

// create the converter object in your code where you want to run conversion
WordToPdfConverter converter = new WordToPdfConverter();

// convert a Word file to a memory buffer
byte[] wordToPdfBuffer = converter.ConvertWordFile("my_word_file_path");

HttpResponse httpResponse = HttpContext.Current.Response;
httpResponse.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
httpResponse.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
    String.Format("attachment; filename=WordToPdf.pdf; size={0}",
    wordToPdfBuffer.Length.ToString()));
httpResponse.BinaryWrite(wordToPdfBuffer);
httpResponse.End();

To convert in your ASP.NET Core application a Word file to a PDF document in a memory buffer and then send it for download to browser you can use the C# code below.

// create the converter object in your code where you want to run conversion
WordToPdfConverter converter = new WordToPdfConverter();

// convert a Word file to a memory buffer
byte[] wordToPdfBuffer = converter.ConvertWordFile("my_word_file_path");

FileResult fileResult = new FileContentResult(wordToPdfBuffer, "application/pdf");
fileResult.FileDownloadName = "WordToPdf.pdf";
return fileResult;
