Prerequisites
Before we dive into the conversion process, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:
1. Install GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET
Ensure that you have GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET installed in your development environment. You can download the library from the download link.
2. Obtain a Temporary License (Optional)
While GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET can be used without a license in trial mode, obtaining a temporary license is recommended for production use. You can acquire a temporary license from here.
3. Set Up Your Development Environment
Make sure you have a development environment set up with Visual Studio or any other .NET IDE installed.
Import Namespaces
Before we start the conversion process, let’s import the necessary namespaces:
using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Conversion.Options.Convert;
Now that we have everything set up, let’s break down the conversion process into simple steps:
Step 1: Specify Output Directory and File Name
string outputFolder = "Your Document Directory";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "pps-converted-to.pdf");
In this step, we define the output folder where the converted PDF file will be saved. Make sure to replace "Your Document Directory" with the desired directory path.
Step 2: Load the Source PPS File
using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter(Constants.SAMPLE_PPS))
Here, we create a new instance of the Converter class and pass the path of the source PPS file to its constructor.
Step 3: Set Conversion Options
var options = new PdfConvertOptions();
In this step, we create an instance of the PdfConvertOptions class. This class provides various options for customizing the conversion process. For example, you can set page size, margins, image quality, and more.
Step 4: Perform the Conversion
converter.Convert(outputFile, options);
Finally, we call the Convert method of the Converter class, passing the output file path and conversion options as parameters. This initiates the conversion process, converting the PPS file to PDF format.
Step 5: Verify Conversion Completion
Console.WriteLine("\nConversion to pdf completed successfully. \nCheck output in {0}", outputFolder);
After the conversion is complete, this step displays a success message along with the path where the converted PDF file is saved.
