How to convert any Document Format into PDF in C# .NET Framework

Today I have something special for you. It’s a method by which we can take a whole mess of differing file formats (even with mislabeled extensions) and converting it into a nice clean stack of PDFs. If you were to attempt this manually, you would be in for a real challenge, most likely requiring weeks to get up and running. In this tutorial, I will have you up and ready in minutes.

First we install our package using the NuGet console:

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

Next we can go ahead and call our function for autodetect to PDF:

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 ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPdfExample
{
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 PDF
byte[] result = apiInstance.ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPdf(inputFile);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi.ConvertDocumentAutodetectToPdf: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And now just toss in your files and let it run. Easy.
