@riazahmed450,

Thank you for taking interest in GroupDocs.Conversion for Java and posting your concerns. Can you please tell us where you are facing issue? If you are using our GitHub example, then you need to do following steps in order to do conversion:

  • Uncomment Utilities.applyLicenseFromFile(); and Conversion.convertToPdfAsFilePath(“demo.docx”);
  • Pass the source document to convertToPdfAsFilePath()
  • Copy license file in base directory (\GroupDocs.Conversion-for-Java\Examples\GroupDocs.Conversion.Examples.Java) of the project
  • Run the application

Aside this you can use following code:

    String storagePath = "C:/Storage";
    String outputPath = "C:/ConvertedStorage";
     
    // Setup Conversion configuration
    ConversionConfig conversionConfig = new ConversionConfig();
    conversionConfig.setStoragePath(storagePath);
    conversionConfig.setOutputPath(outputPath);
     
    // Instantiating the conversion handler
    ConversionHandler conversionHandler = new ConversionHandler(conversionConfig);
    PdfSaveOptions saveOption = new PdfSaveOptions(); 
    // Set absolute path to file
    String guid = "C:/Storage/DOCXsample.docx";
    ConvertedDocument convertedDocumentPath = conversionHandler.<String> convert(guid, saveOption);
    convertedDocumentPath.save(fileName + "." + convertedDocumentPath.getFileType());
    System.out.print("Converted file path is: " + convertedDocumentPath);

Hopefully, it will resolve your issue.

Did you explore our GroupDocs.Conversion for Java example project? What error (specifically) you’re facing. Please share error/exception details and which version (e.g. 17.12, 18.6) of the API you’re evaluating?
