Effortless PUB to PDF and Word Document Conversion in .NET

Convert Publisher Files to PDF in C#

PDF format has become the standard for file sharing and collaboration as it can easily be accessed and viewed on devices running on any OS. The .NET Publisher API supports converting PUB files to PDF documents, making it possible for programmers to integrate this feature into their MS Publisher file converter apps. In the following C# coding example, we will learn how to convert PUB to PDF.

• Load the input PUB file using the PubFactory class.
• Parse the PUB file.
• Convert and save the output PDF document.

string fileName = dataDir + "halloween-flyer.pub";

var parser = PubFactory.CreateParser(fileName);

var doc = parser.Parse();

Aspose.Pub.PubFactory.CreatePdfConverter().ConvertToPdf(doc, dataDir + "result_out.pdf");

Convert PUB Files to Word Documents in C#

Microsoft Word is the leading word-processing software used globally by individual and corporate users. Converting a file to Word format makes for convenient access across multiple OS. Users can seamlessly convert PUB documents to DOC and DOCX formats with the PUB file manipulation library. The following code example shows how to convert PUB to DOCX in C#.

• Initialize a MemoryStream for the output document.
• Load and parse the PUB file using IPubParser.Parse() method.
• Convert the PUB file to PDF and add it to a MemoryStream.
• Load the PDF file by initializing a DocSaveOptions class object.
• Specify the output format (DOC/DOCX) to save the Word document.

string fileName = "ConvertTest.pub";

// Initialize a MemoryStream to hold the output document
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

// Load input PUB file
Aspose.Pub.IPubParser parser = Aspose.Pub.PubFactory.CreateParser(fileName);

// Parse the input publisher file
Aspose.Pub.Document doc = parser.Parse();

// Convert the PUB file to PDF and save the result in a MemoryStream
Aspose.Pub.PubFactory.CreatePdfConverter().ConvertToPdf(doc, stream);

// Load input PDF file from the MemoryStream
Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Document(stream);

// Initialize DocSaveOptions class object
Aspose.Pdf.DocSaveOptions options = new DocSaveOptions();

// Specify the format of the output Word file (DOC/DOCX)
options.Format = DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.Doc;

// Save output word file (DOC/DOCX)
document.Save(dataDir + "Output.doc", options);
