In the world of software development, converting files from one format to another is a common task. Whether it’s converting images to PDFs, documents to images, or any other file format transformation, having a reliable tool to accomplish this task efficiently is crucial. One such tool is GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET, a powerful library that provides developers with the capability to convert various file formats seamlessly.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the conversion process using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET, there are a few prerequisites you need to have in place:

1. Install GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET

First and foremost, you need to install the GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET library. You can download the library from the download page and follow the installation instructions provided.

2. Basic Understanding of C#

You should have a basic understanding of the C# programming language as we’ll be using it to write code snippets for the conversion process.

3. Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

You’ll need an IDE such as Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider to write, compile, and run the code examples.

4. Source File(s) to Convert

Ensure that you have the source file(s) ready in the format you want to convert from. For example, if you’re converting from JPEG to PDF, have the JPEG file(s) available.

Import Namespaces

Before we delve into the step-by-step process of converting JPEG to PDF using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET, let’s import the necessary namespaces:

using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Conversion.Options.Convert;

Step 1: Define Output Folder and File Name

First, define the output folder where the converted PDF file will be saved, and specify the name of the output file:

string outputFolder = "Your Document Directory";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "jpeg-converted-to.pdf");

Step 2: Load the Source JPEG File

Next, load the source JPEG file using the Converter class provided by GroupDocs.Conversion:

using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter(Constants.SAMPLE_JPEG))
{
    // Conversion code will go here
}

Step 3: Set Conversion Options

Set the conversion options according to your requirements. In this case, since we’re converting JPEG to PDF, we’ll use PdfConvertOptions:

var options = new PdfConvertOptions();

Step 4: Perform the Conversion

Perform the actual conversion by calling the Convert method and passing the output file path along with the conversion options:

converter.Convert(outputFile, options);

Step 5: Display Completion Message

Finally, display a message indicating that the conversion process is completed successfully:

Console.WriteLine("\nConversion to pdf completed successfully. \nCheck output in {0}", outputFolder);

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve learned how to convert JPEG to PDF using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET. By following the step-by-step guide and understanding the prerequisites, you can seamlessly integrate file format conversion capabilities into your .NET applications.
