Will GroupDocs.Conversion supports to convert any bytestream to pdfbytes

GroupDocs.Conversion Product Family

Hi Team,

I have been working with GroupDocs.Conversion Nuget package and it is pretty much cool software to convert to any type of file to pdf type. But we also have a situation where we have file (doc,docx,tif,tiff,png,jpg) in bytes and we need to convert this bytes to pdfbytes.

To give more context, From our application user will be able to upload the document from his local machine. So once he uploads any kind of file format documents , app basically converts to bytes and passes to the service layer. So we need a mechanism to convert the bytes to pdfbytes and then store in our fileshare.

Please let me know is there any method that is exposed to do this process.

Thanks
Vamshi Mukka

Please take a look at the following workaround:

const string sourceFileName = "one-page.docx";
using (var sourceStream = new FileStream(sourceFileName, FileMode.Open))
{
    using (var converter = new Converter(() => sourceStream))
    {
        var convertOptions = new PdfConvertOptions();
        using (var outputStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            converter.Convert(() => new MemoryStream(), (convertedStream, _) => convertedStream.CopyTo(outputStream), convertOptions);
            var convertedBytes = outputStream.ToArray();
            ....
        }
    }
}

Even simpler without intermediate MemoryStream:

const string sourceFileName = "one-page.docx";
using (var sourceStream = new FileStream(sourceFileName, FileMode.Open))
{
    using (var converter = new Converter(() => sourceStream))
    {
        var convertOptions = new PdfConvertOptions();
        byte[] convertedBytes;
        converter.Convert(() => new MemoryStream(), (convertedStream, _) => convertedBytes = ((MemoryStream)convertedStream).ToArray(), convertOptions);
    }
}
