In This Topic

SDK can convert DOCX document to a vector PDF or PDF/A document with text, links and navigation.

Here is an example that shows how to convert DOCX document to a PDF document:

VB.NET

    Public Shared Sub Convert(docxFileName As String, pdfFileName As String)
        ' create image collection
        Using imageCollection As New Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageCollection()
            ' add DOCX document to collection

                ' save images of image collection to PDF document using PdfEncoder
                imageCollection.SaveSync(pdfFileName, pdfEncoder)
            End Using

            ' dispose images
            imageCollection.ClearAndDisposeItems()
