Step 1: Define Output Directory and File Name
string outputFolder = "Your Document Directory";

Step 3: Configure Conversion Options
var options = new PdfConvertOptions();

to specify any additional settings for the PDF conversion, such as encryption or page orientation. Customize these options according to your requirements.
Step 4: Perform the Conversion
converter.Convert(outputFile, options);
Initiate the conversion process by calling the Convert
method of the Converter
object, passing the output file path and conversion options as arguments. This will execute the conversion and generate the PDF file.
Step 5: Verify Conversion Completion
