Accusoft.ImageGearMP.Office 27.0.0

The Accusoft.ImageGearMP.Office package allows users to load, render, convert, and read metadata from Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

Dependencies

ImageGear depends on LibreOffice v7 or later to provide support for office documents. LibreOffice can be obtained from libreoffice.org. For full setup instructions for Windows and Linux, see the Getting Started with ImageGear Office page of our documentation.

Getting Started

ImageGear makes it simple to work with office documents:

using System.IO;
using ImageGear.Formats;
using ImageGear.Formats.PDF;
using ImageGear.Formats.Office;

// Initialize office support
ImGearCommonFormats.Initialize();
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Add(ImGearPDF.CreatePDFFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Add(ImGearOffice.CreateWordFormat());
ImGearPDF.Initialize();
ImGearOffice.Initialize(@"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program");

// Load a Word document.
ImGearWordDocument document = null;
using (Stream stream1 = File.OpenRead("input.docx"))
    document = ImGearFileFormats.LoadDocument(stream1) as ImGearWordDocument;

// Save the first page of the Word document to a PNG file
using (Stream pngOutputStream = File.Create("output.png"))
    ImGearFileFormats.SavePage(document.Pages[0], pngOutputStream, ImGearSavingFormats.PNG);

// Dispose the document and terminate office support
document.Dispose();
ImGearOffice.Terminate();
ImGearPDF.Terminate();
