I'm using the Aspose.Words.Net component to convert docx documents to epub, pdf, rtf, etc. I am also converting docx to TIFF and JPEG formats.
I'm calling the component from VC++ via the COM Interop provided by Aspose.Words.Net.
I first open the document, I want to convert, by calling "open" on the ComHelper pointer with the file name of the file I am trying to convert. I then call "save" on the resultant Document pointer with the name, location and extension of the target file. If the target format is different from the source format, the file gets converted to the new format.
Can I do this kind of conversion page-by-page? Can I load the entire document by calling "open" and then only convert it to the target format one page at a time? The reason is, I am trying to avoid having to convert a docx of hundreds or thousands of pages if I only need one or a few pages converted to a new format.
You can convert each page of MS Word document to PDF/Image by using [PdfSaveOptions ](http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/PdfSaveOptions+Class)and [ImageSaveOptions](http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/ImageSaveOptions+Class). Please check the following C# code example for your kind reference.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + “in.docx”);
ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Png);
options.PageCount = 1;
for (int pageIndex = 0; pageIndex < doc.PageCount; pageIndex++)
{
string outputFileName = MyDir + string.Format("{0}_{1}.png", "Test", pageIndex + 1);
options.PageIndex = pageIndex;
doc.Save(outputFileName, options);
}
//Convert each page to PDF file
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.PageCount = 1;
for (int pageIndex = 0; pageIndex < doc.PageCount; pageIndex++)
{
string outputFileName = MyDir + string.Format("{0}_{1}.pdf", "Test", pageIndex + 1);
options.PageIndex = pageIndex;
doc.Save(outputFileName, options);
}
Regarding conversion of MS Word document to Epub/RTF for each page, There is no direct way to convert each page of Doc/Docx to Epub/RTF. However, you can use the ***PageFinder*** utility to convert each page to Epub/RTF. Please find ***PageFinder*** utility in attachment. You can use this utility by using following C# code snippet.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
Document dstDoc = ExtractContentBetweenPages(doc, 1, 1);
dstDoc.Save(MyDir + "AsposeOut.rtf");
public Document ExtractContentBetweenPages(Document srcDoc, int fromPage, int toPage)
{
// Set up the document which pages will be copied to. Remove the empty section.
Document dstDoc = new Document();
dstDoc.RemoveAllChildren();
PageNumberFinder finder = new PageNumberFinder(srcDoc);
// Split nodes which are found across pages.
finder.SplitNodesAcrossPages(true);
// Copy all content including headers and footers from the specified pages into the destination document.
NodeImporter importer = new NodeImporter(srcDoc, dstDoc, ImportFormatMode.UseDestinationStyles);
for (int page = fromPage; page <= toPage; page++)
{
ArrayList pageSections = finder.RetrieveAllNodesOnPages(fromPage, toPage, NodeType.Section);
foreach (Section section in pageSections)
{
dstDoc.AppendChild(importer.ImportNode(section, true));
}
}
return dstDoc;
}
You need to create wrapper class to achieve your requirements. Please read following forum link for your kind reference.
So are PDF and image files the only ones I can convert to page-wise?
Yes, only PDF and Image files can be converted page wise by using PdfSaveOptions and [ImageSaveOptions](http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/ImageSaveOptions+Class).

Also, is docx the only source format I can convert page-wise to PDF and image files? Are there other source formats I can convert?
Thanks for your inquiry. Your question is related to Aspose.PDF component. I am moving this thread to Aspose.PDF forum and my colleagues from Aspose.PDF team will reply you shortly.
