How to convert any Document File into PNG Array in C# .NET Framework

Today we will be using PNG as the great leveler, converting all of our document files to this format automatically to maximize convenience and compatibility. Creating such a system manually would take some serious time, especially for identifying and parsing the source file format. If you’d rather just get on with your day, I have the perfect solution for you.

First we will need to download our package using NuGet:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

Now we can go ahead and call our function, with this sample code as a model.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPngArrayExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new ConvertDocumentApi();
var inputFile = new System.IO.Stream(); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
try
{
// Convert Document to PNG array
AutodetectToPngResult result = apiInstance.ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPngArray(inputFile);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi.ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPngArray: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And just like that, you have document conversion. Easy.
