Convert TSV to PDF

Introduction

GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET is a powerful document conversion library that enables developers to effortlessly convert various file formats to PDF and vice versa. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of converting a TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file to PDF using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the conversion process, ensure you have the following prerequisites set up:

  1. GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET: Download and install the GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET library. You can obtain it from the download page.
  2. Development Environment: Have a suitable development environment set up, such as Visual Studio or any other .NET development IDE.
  3. TSV File: Prepare the TSV file that you want to convert. Ensure it’s accessible within your application.

Import Namespaces

To get started, make sure you import the necessary namespaces in your .NET project:

using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Conversion.Options.Convert;

Let’s break down the example code provided into multiple steps:

Step 1: Define Output Path and Filename

string outputFolder = "Your Document Directory";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "tsv-converted-to.pdf");

First, specify the directory where you want to save the converted PDF file. Then, construct the full path for the output PDF file.

Step 2: Load the Source TSV File

using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter(Constants.SAMPLE_TSV))
{
    // Conversion code will go here
}

Initialize a new instance of the Converter class, passing the path of the TSV file as a parameter. This sets up the conversion process.

Step 3: Configure Conversion Options

var options = new PdfConvertOptions();

Create an instance of the PdfConvertOptions class. This object allows you to specify various conversion options, such as page size, margins, and more. You can customize these options according to your requirements.

Step 4: Convert TSV to PDF

converter.Convert(outputFile, options);

Invoke the Convert method of the Converter object, passing the output file path and the conversion options. This executes the conversion process and saves the resulting PDF file to the specified location.

Step 5: Display Completion Message

Console.WriteLine("\nConversion to pdf completed successfully. \nCheck output in {0}", outputFolder);

Print a message indicating that the conversion process has completed successfully. This informs the user where they can find the converted PDF file.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve covered the process of converting a TSV file to PDF using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET. By following the steps outlined above, you can seamlessly integrate document conversion functionality into your .NET applications.
