Getting Started
So, you probably want to jump up and start coding your document processing application on C#, F# or Visual Basic right away? Let us show you how to do it in a few easy steps.
Run Install-Package Aspose.Words from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio to fetch the NuGet package.
If you want to upgrade to the latest package version, please run Update-Package Aspose.Words.
You can run the following code snippets in C# to see how our library works. Also feel free to check out the GitHub Repository for other common use cases.
Create a DOCX using C#
Aspose.Words for .NET allows you to create a blank Word document and add content to the file.
// Create a Word document.
Document doc = new Document();
// Use a DocumentBuilder instance to add content to the file.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Write a new paragraph to the document.
builder.Writeln("This is an example of a Word document created in C#");
// Save it as a DOCX file. The output format is automatically determined by the filename extension.
doc.Save("OutputWordDocument.docx");
Create a PDF in C#
Aspose.Words for .NET allows you to create a new PDF file and fill it with data.
// Create a PDF document.
Document pdf = new Document();
// Use a DocumentBuilder instance to add content to the file.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(pdf);
// Write a new paragraph to the document.
builder.Writeln("This is an example of a PDF document created using C#");
// Save it as a PDF file.
pdf.Save("OutputDocument.pdf");
Convert a Word document to HTML with C#
You can convert Microsoft Word to PDF, XPS, Markdown, HTML, JPEG, TIFF, and other file formats. The following snippet demonstrates the conversion from DOCX to HTML:
// Load a Word file from the local drive.
Document doc = new Document("InputWordDocument.docx");
// Save it to HTML format.
doc.Save("OutputHtmlDocument.html");
Import a PDF and save as a DOCX via C#
In addition, you can import a PDF file into your .NET application and export it as a DOCX format file without the need to install Microsoft Word:
// Load a PDF file from the local drive.
Document pdf = new Document("InputDocument.pdf");
// Save it to DOCX format.
pdf.Save("OutputWordDocument.docx");
Generate a summary of the document(s) using OpenAI or Google models.
Document firstDoc = new Document("DocumentA.docx");
Document secondDoc = new Document("DocumentB.docx");
// Use OpenAI or Google generative language models.
IAiModelText model = (IAiModelText)AiModel.Create(AiModelType.Gpt4OMini).WithApiKey(apiKey);
Document summary = model.Summarize(firstDoc, new SummarizeOptions() { SummaryLength = SummaryLength.Short });
summary.Save("SummaryA.docx");
Document multiSummary = model.Summarize(new Document[] { firstDoc, secondDoc }, new SummarizeOptions() { SummaryLength = SummaryLength.Long });
multiSummary.Save("SummaryA+B.docx");
