Syncfusion DocIO is a .NET MAUI Word library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can convert a Word document to PDF in .NET MAUI.
To create .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) apps, you need the latest versions of Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6. For more details, refer here.
Step 1: Create a new C# .NET MAUI app. Select .NET MAUI App from the template and click the Next button.
Step 2: Enter the project name and click Create.
Step 3: Install the Syncfusion.DocIORenderer.NET NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
N> Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, you also have to add "Syncfusion.Licensing" assembly reference and include a license key in your projects. Please refer to this link to know about registering a Syncfusion license key in your application to use our components.
Step 4: Add a new button to the MainPage.xaml as shown below.
{% tabs %}
{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %} {% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
Step 5: Include the following namespaces in the MainPage.xaml.cs file.
{% tabs %}
{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %} using Syncfusion.DocIO; using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS; using Syncfusion.DocIORenderer; using Syncfusion.Pdf; {% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
Step 6: Add a new action method ConvertWordtoPDF in MainPage.xaml.cs and include the below code snippet to convert a Word document to PDF.
{% tabs %}
{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}
//Loading an existing Word document
Assembly assembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Convert_Word_Document_to_PDF.Assets.Input.docx"), FormatType.Docx))
{
//Instantiation of DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion
using (DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer())
{
//Converts Word document into PDF document
using (PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(document))
{
//Saves the PDF document to MemoryStream.
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
pdfDocument.Save(stream);
//save and Launch the PDF document
SaveService saveService = new();
saveService.SaveAndView("Sample.pdf", "application/pdf", stream);
}
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
Refer the below helper files and add them into the mentioned project. These helper files allow you to save the stream as a physical file and open the file for viewing.
You can download a complete working sample from GitHub.
