{
    // Conversion logic goes here
}

Instantiate a new Converter object by providing the path to the source OXPS file. This initializes the conversion process.

Step 3: Set Conversion Options

var options = new PdfConvertOptions();

Create an instance of the desired conversion options. In this case, we’re converting OXPS to PDF, so we use PdfConvertOptions.

Step 4: Perform the Conversion

converter.Convert(outputFile, options);

Invoke the Convert method on the Converter object, passing the output file path and conversion options as arguments. This executes the conversion process.
