LEADTOOLS Imaging SDK offers the RasterCodecs class that handles the majority of I/O operations.

Converting from one format to another is a simple matter of loading a file and saving it to the desired format. For this you can leverage the RasterCodecs class's Load and Save methods.

https://www.leadtools.co...o/rastercodecs-save.html

A very simple example of this format conversion routine below:

Code:

using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs())
{
    RasterImage image = codecs.Load(@"input file path");
    codecs.Save(image, @"output file path ", RasterImageFormat.Tif, 24);
}

The output format can be any of our support file formats, see here:

If you are wanting to convert file formats to a Document output, then you would need to utilize the DocumentConverter Class:

Quote:

The Document Converter SDK can be used to convert raster and document formats alike, making it ideal for any Enterprise Content Management (ECM), document archival, and document normalization solution.

Convert to and from any document or raster image format
Adobe Acrobat PDF and PDF/A
Microsoft Office DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX, PPT/PPTX, PST, EML, MSG, and XPS formats
CAD formats such as DXF, DWG, and DWF
TIFF, JPEG, PNG, EXIF, BMP, and hundreds more raster image formats
Plain Text, RTF, HTML, MOBI, ePUB, and more
IBM AFP, MO:DCA, IOCA, and PTOCA

Here is some sample code on how to achieve this in a C# application:

Code:

using (var documentConverter = new DocumentConverter())
{
    string inFile = Path.Combine(ImagesPath.Path, @"Leadtools.docx");
    string outFile = Path.Combine(ImagesPath.Path, @"output.pdf");
    var format = DocumentFormat.Pdf;
    var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(inFile, outFile, format);
    jobData.JobName = "conversion job";
    var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData);
    documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job);
}
