Examples

Shows how to change image color with saving options property.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Images.docx");

// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
// Set the "ColorMode" property to "Grayscale" to render all images from the document in black and white.
// The size of the output document may be larger with this setting.
// Set the "ColorMode" property to "Normal" to render all images in color.
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions { ColorMode = colorMode };

// compression to text when we save the document to PDF.
// Set the "TextCompression" property to "PdfTextCompression.Flate" to apply ZIP compression
// to text when we save the document to PDF. The larger the document, the bigger the impact that this will have.

Shows how to convert a whole document to PDF with three levels in the document outline.

// The output PDF document will contain an outline, which is a table of contents that lists headings in the document body.

// Set the "HeadingsOutlineLevels" property to "4" to exclude all headings whose levels are above 4 from the outline.
options.OutlineOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels = 4;

// If an outline entry has subsequent entries of a higher level inbetween itself and the next entry of the same or lower level,
// an arrow will appear to the left of the entry. This entry is the "owner" of several such "sub-entries".
// In our document, the outline entries from the 5th heading level are sub-entries of the second 4th level outline entry,
// the 4th and 5th heading level entries are sub-entries of the second 3rd level entry, and so on.
// In the outline, we can click on the arrow of the "owner" entry to collapse/expand all its sub-entries.
// Set the "ExpandedOutlineLevels" property to "2" to automatically expand all heading level 2 and lower outline entries
// and collapse all level and 3 and higher entries when we open the document.
