Convert SVG to PDF in .NET with Aspose.HTML

In the world of web development and document processing, the need to convert Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files into Portable Document Format (PDF) is a common requirement. With the power of Aspose.HTML for .NET, this task becomes not only achievable but also efficient. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of converting SVG to PDF using Aspose.HTML for .NET.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the step-by-step process, let’s make sure you have everything you need:

1. Aspose.HTML for .NET: You must have Aspose.HTML for .NET installed. If you don’t have it already, you can download it from the download page.

2. Your Data Directory: Ensure you have a data directory where your SVG file is located. You’ll need to specify this path in your code.

3. Basic Knowledge of C#: Familiarity with C# programming language will be helpful, as we’ll be using it to interact with Aspose.HTML for .NET.

Now, let’s start with the code and break it down into multiple steps to ensure you understand each part of the process.

Importing Necessary Namespaces

To work with Aspose.HTML for .NET, you need to import the relevant namespaces. Here’s how you do it:

using Aspose.Html;
using Aspose.Html.Converters;

Now, let’s break this code down into multiple steps.

Step 1: Setting the Data Directory

// The path to the documents directory
string dataDir = "Your Data Directory";

You should replace "Your Data Directory" with the actual path to the directory where your SVG file is located.

Step 2: Loading the SVG Document

// Source SVG document
SVGDocument svgDocument = new SVGDocument(dataDir + "input.svg");

This code creates an instance of the SVGDocument class by loading the SVG file named “input.svg” from the specified data directory.

Step 3: Configuring PDF Save Options

// Initialize pdfSaveOptions 
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions()
{
	JpegQuality = 100
};

In this step, you initialize a PdfSaveOptions object, which allows you to set various options for the PDF conversion. Here, we’re setting the JPEG quality to 100, ensuring high image quality in the PDF.

Step 4: Specifying the Output File

// Output file path
string outputFile = dataDir + "SVGtoPDF_Output.pdf";

You define the path and name of the output PDF file. This is where the converted PDF will be saved.

Step 5: Converting SVG to PDF

// Convert SVG to PDF
Converter.ConvertSVG(svgDocument, options, outputFile);

Finally, you use the Converter.ConvertSVG method to convert the loaded SVG document into a PDF using the specified options. The resulting PDF is saved at the path you specified.

Now that we’ve covered all the steps, you’re ready to convert SVG files to PDF with Aspose.HTML for .NET. This powerful tool simplifies the process, ensuring high-quality conversions with ease.
