Convert VDW to PDF

Introduction

GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET is a powerful document conversion library that enables developers to seamlessly convert various file formats to PDF and other supported formats. In this tutorial, we’ll focus on converting VDW (Visio Web Drawing) files to PDF format using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

  1. Visual Studio or any other preferred .NET development environment.
  2. GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET library. You can download it from the website.
  3. Basic knowledge of C# programming.

Import Namespaces

First, let’s import the necessary namespaces to utilize GroupDocs.Conversion functionalities:

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

Step 1: Load the Source VDW File

Begin by loading the source VDW file that you want to convert to PDF. You can use the following code snippet:

using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter("path_to_your_vdw_file.vdw"))
{
    // Your code here
}

Replace "path_to_your_vdw_file.vdw" with the actual path to your VDW file.

Step 2: Specify Conversion Options

Next, specify the conversion options. Since we’re converting to PDF, we’ll use PdfConvertOptions:

var options = new PdfConvertOptions();

You can also customize conversion options according to your requirements, such as setting page size, margins, and quality.

Step 3: Perform the Conversion

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

string outputFolder = "Your_Document_Directory";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "vdw-converted-to.pdf");
converter.Convert(outputFile, options);

Replace "Your_Document_Directory" with the directory where you want to save the converted PDF file.

Step 4: Check Conversion Completion

After the conversion process is complete, you can display a message indicating successful completion and the location of the converted PDF file:

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