Effortless File Content Conversion with GdPicture.NET SDK


In today’s fast-paced digital environment, the ability to seamlessly convert file content is essential for efficient document management, secure archiving, and reliable workflow automation. GdPicture.NET SDK, a robust and mature imaging and document processing toolkit, empowers developers to handle file content conversion with ease, accuracy, and no external dependencies.

Powerful File Conversion Capabilities

With GdPicture.NET SDK, converting between diverse file types is not only possible—it’s effortless. The SDK offers advanced support for:

Image to PDF Conversion

Convert over 50 image formats including TIFF, JPG, PNG, BMP, and SVG into standardized PDF documents. This is especially useful for archiving scanned files, consolidating multi-page documents, or preparing assets for distribution. OCR can be applied optionally if you need searchable text, making it suitable for data extraction pipelines or accessibility use cases.

Office to PDF Conversion

Transform Microsoft Office documents including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into high-fidelity PDFs. GdPicture.NET SDK achieves this with its built-in rendering engine, without requiring MS Office or LibreOffice, ensuring clean deployments across environments.

PDF to Office Conversion

Need to edit content trapped inside a PDF? GdPicture.NET makes it easy to convert PDFs back to editable Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), or PowerPoint (PPTX) formats. The SDK preserves layout, fonts, and styling, making the converted files ready for immediate use or further editing.

Indirect and Multi-Stage Conversions

Sometimes, a conversion chain is required. For example, TIFF ➜ PDF ➜ Excel. With GdPicture.NET’s modular architecture, such multi-step file content conversions are straightforward to implement.

How It Works: A Developer-Friendly API

At the core of the SDK’s conversion capability is the GdPictureDocumentConverter class. It provides a simple, fluent interface for loading, processing, and saving documents in different formats.

Example: Convert Word to PDF in C#

using GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter();

// Load the source document.
gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.docx", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatDOCX);

// Save as a PDF.
gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");

You can also work with streams, allowing seamless integration into web APIs, background services, or cloud-based file processing platforms.
