Export Resources

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the C# source code to export document resources with Aspose.Words for .NET. This feature allows you to export resources, such as fonts, as external files when saving a document in HTML format.

Step 1: Project Setup

To get started, create a new C# project in your favorite IDE. Make sure the Aspose.Words for .NET library is referenced in your project.

Step 2: Loading the document

In this step, we will load the document to export. Use the following code to load the document from a specified directory:

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx");

This code creates an instance of Document by loading the document from the specified directory.

Step 3: Configuring HTML backup options

Now we will configure the HTML save options to export the document resources. Use the following code:

HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions
{
CssStyleSheetType = CssStyleSheetType.External,
ExportFontResources=true,
ResourceFolder = ArtifactsDir + "Resources",
ResourceFolderAlias = "http://example.com/resources"
};

This code creates an instance of HtmlSaveOptions and sets the following options:

  • CssStyleSheetType is set to CssStyleSheetType.External to export the CSS style sheet to an external file.
  • ExportFontResources is set to true to export font resources.
  • ResourceFolder specifies the destination directory where the resources will be saved.
  • ResourceFolderAlias specifies the URL alias that will be used to access resources.

Step 4: Converting and saving the document to HTML

Finally, we will convert the document to HTML using the HTML saving options configured earlier. Use the following code:

doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithHtmlSaveOptions.ExportResources.html", saveOptions);

This code converts the document to HTML and saves the resources to the specified directory, using the specified URL alias.

Example source code for Export Resources using Aspose.Words for .NET


	// The path to the documents directory.
	string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
	Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx");

	HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions
	{
		CssStyleSheetType = CssStyleSheetType.External,
		ExportFontResources = true,
		ResourceFolder = ArtifactsDir + "Resources",
		ResourceFolderAlias = "http://example.com/resources"
	};

	doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithHtmlSaveOptions.ExportResources.html", saveOptions);

Be sure to specify the correct path to the documents directory in the dataDir variable.
