Convert Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and Word to Images in .NET Using Aspose

Question

so I'm looking for a way to convert Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and Word into images. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Aspose kit and knows if all this can be done using the Aspose.PDF package, or will I need to also get Aspose.slides and Aspose.word?

Answer 1

You will need Aspose.Slides, Aspose.Words, Aspose.Cells and Aspose.Pdf, or you can use Web Api

Answer 2

Conversion from an office document to an image can be performed without using a third-party component. Below code converts a certain range from an Excel sheet to an image, for example.

IMPORTANT: Remember to mark the method with the [STAThread] attribute.

Usings:

using xls = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; using System.IO; using System.Windows.Forms; 

Conversion Code:

  [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { string fileNameToProcess = @"D:\Book2.xlsx"; //Start Excel and create a new document. xls.Application oExcel = new xls.Application(); xls.Workbook wb = null; try { wb = oExcel.Workbooks.Open( fileNameToProcess.ToString(), false, false, Type.Missing, "", "", true, xls.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "", false, false, 0, false, true, 0); //wb.RefreshAll(); xls.Sheets sheets = wb.Worksheets as xls.Sheets; xls.Worksheet sheet = sheets[1]; //Following is used to find range with data string startRange = "A1"; string endRange = "P25"; xls.Range range = sheet.get_Range(startRange, endRange); range.CopyPicture(xls.XlPictureAppearance.xlScreen, xls.XlCopyPictureFormat.xlBitmap); System.Drawing.Image imgRange = GetImageFromClipboard(); imgRange.Save(@"d:\ExcelSheetImage.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp); wb.Save(); Console.Write("Specified range converted to image successfully. Press Enter to continue."); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); //throw; } finally { wb.Close(); oExcel.Quit(); oExcel = null; } Console.ReadLine(); } public static System.Drawing.Image GetImageFromClipboard() { System.Drawing.Image returnImage = null; // This doesn't work //if (Clipboard.ContainsImage()) //{ // returnImage = Clipboard.GetImage(); //} //return returnImage; // This works System.Windows.Forms.IDataObject d = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); if (d.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap)) { returnImage = Clipboard.GetImage(); } return returnImage; }
