Important
The RichEditDocumentServerExtensions class is defined in the DevExpress.Docs.v25.2.dll assembly and DevExpress.Document.Processor NuGet package. Add this assembly or package to your project to use the RichEditDocumentServerExtensions members. You need a license for the DevExpress Office File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use this library in production code.
For information on PDF Export features and limitations, refer to the following help topic: Export to PDF.
Important
Take into account the following when you call this method:
The events fired by this method call may occur in a different thread than the target operation.
The operation is not thread safe (the document should not be accessed simultaneously by different threads). Wait until the operation is completed before you continue to work with the document (for example, use the await operator).
The code sample below asynchronously exports a document to the PDF format:
private async void ConvertDocx2PdfWithCancellation()
{
//10 second limit
using (CancellationTokenSource source = new CancellationTokenSource(10000))
{
using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
{
try
{
await wordProcessor.LoadDocumentAsync("Document.docx", source.Token);
PdfExportOptions exportOptions = new PdfExportOptions();
exportOptions.ConvertImagesToJpeg = false;
exportOptions.DocumentOptions.Application = "Office File API";
await wordProcessor.ExportToPdfAsync(new FileStream("Documents\SavedDocument.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite), exportOptions, source.Token);
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
// Your code to handle cancellation
}
}
}
}
Private Async Sub ConvertDocx2PdfWithCancellation()
Using source As CancellationTokenSource = New CancellationTokenSource(10000)
Using wordProcessor As RichEditDocumentServer = New RichEditDocumentServer()
Try
Await wordProcessor.LoadDocumentAsync("Document.docx", source.Token)
Await wordProcessor.ExportToPdfAsync(New FileStream("Documents\SavedDocument.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite), exportOptions, source.Token)
Catch __unusedOperationCanceledException1__ As OperationCanceledException
' Your code to handle cancellation
End Try
End Using
End Using
End Sub
