Need to convert Aspose Document into base64 using Document object

Hello,

I appreciate the great support Aspose has given me over the past couple months, and I need just a little more.

My program is running great, however very slow. It changes dozens of Word Documents, merges them into one large Word Document, saves that Document to a filestream, then reads that file and converts the Document data into base64 before embedding it into XML which is posted to the calling ASP. However, it takes around 30 seconds to run.

To speed things up I need to stop saving the Aspose Documents, and use them only as memory objects. How can I convert Aspose Documents into base64 without saving, and then reading it from the filestream?

First, I need to know what the size of the Aspose Document to create a byte array large enough to hold all the data. Then I want to convert the data into base64.

Is this possible, or am I forced to use the file system to read the Document data?

Hi,

Apparently saving to a disk is an excessive operation in your case. Save to a memory stream instead:

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

doc.Save(stream, SaveFormat.Doc);

// Seek to the beginning of the stream.

stream.Position = 0;

// Save to base64...
