Quick Start
Get your API credentials
To use GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud, you’ll need to sign up at GroupDocs.Cloud Dashboard and get your Client ID and Client Secret.
Initialize the API
Use the following code to start using the GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for .NET:
// Initialize the API instance
var configuration = new Configuration
{
ClientId = "YourClientId",
ClientSecret = "YourClientSecret"
};
var conversionApi = new ConversionApi(configuration);
Convert a document
Once initialized, use this basic example to convert a document:
// Set up conversion settings
var convertSettings = new ConvertSettings
{
FilePath = "input.docx",
Format = "pdf"
};
// Convert the document
var response = conversionApi.ConvertDocument(convertSettings);
// Save the converted file
File.WriteAllBytes("output.pdf", response.File);
With this quick start guide, you’re all set to begin converting documents using GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud in your .NET applications. For more details, visit the documentation.
This code allows developers to convert documents between various formats programmatically, eliminating manual conversions. It supports over 50 file formats, making it ideal for application developers requiring multi-format support.
// Initialize the API instance
var conversionApi = new ConversionApi(new Configuration { ClientId = "YourClientId", ClientSecret = "YourClientSecret" });
// Set up the conversion settings: source format, target format, etc.
var convertSettings = new ConvertSettings
{
// Specify input file path and desired output format
FilePath = "input.docx",
Format = "pdf" // Convert DOCX to PDF
// Optional: specify page range, font substitution, etc.
};
// Execute the conversion and retrieve the converted file
var response = conversionApi.ConvertDocument(convertSettings);
// Save the converted document to the specified location
File.WriteAllBytes("output.pdf", response.File);
Convert Specific Pages of a Document Cloud API
This example demonstrates how developers can convert only specific pages, saving processing time and reducing file sizes when only a part of the document is needed.
// Initialize the API instance with authentication credentials
var conversionApi = new ConversionApi(new Configuration { ClientId = "YourClientId", ClientSecret = "YourClientSecret" });
// Configure the settings to convert specific pages (e.g., pages 1 to 3)
var convertSettings = new ConvertSettings
{
FilePath = "input.pptx",
Format = "pdf", // Convert PPTX to PDF
// Specify the pages to convert (e.g., first 3 pages)
Pages = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 }
};
// Execute the conversion
var response = conversionApi.ConvertDocument(convertSettings);
// Save the resulting file
File.WriteAllBytes("output_pages1-3.pdf", response.File);
This snippet highlights the ability to convert documents even when the file extension is unknown, making it highly useful for handling user-uploaded files where formats may not be clearly defined.
// Initialize the Conversion API with credentials
var conversionApi = new ConversionApi(new Configuration { ClientId = "YourClientId", ClientSecret = "YourClientSecret" });
// Configure settings for auto-detecting format without file extension
var convertSettings = new ConvertSettings
{
FilePath = "input_file", // No file extension required
Format = "pdf" // Desired output format (e.g., PDF)
};
// Execute the conversion
var response = conversionApi.ConvertDocument(convertSettings);
// Save the converted file to the output path
File.WriteAllBytes("output.pdf", response.File);
