Word to PDF Conversion Example Error

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I put a published example of a WORD to PDF doc code snippet in a button click event to test it. It does not work. The error message is included as comments.
Also the example produces a warning message...

Could you please take a look at what is published is correct or requires updating. If not, do you have an example that simply takes an existing Word document and converts it to a PDF format.



....
using Aspose.PDF;
using Aspose.Word;
.....
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

Word word = new Word();
Document doc = word.Open(@"C:\Temp\WordOutput.doc"); //<-- warning message states that this is obsolete
doc.Save("C:/temp/WordOutput.xml",SaveFormat.FormatAsposePdf);

Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
pdf.BindXML("C:/temp/WordOutput.xml",null);
pdf.Save("C:/temp/WordOutput.pdf");


//Produces the following error...
// C:\Temp\WordOutput.doc already exists
//Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Document doc = word.Open(fileName) still works, it is marked as obsolete (it also says what to do instead) because you can do just this:

Document doc = new Document(fileName);

The error message is strange indeed, but I think it is caused by the fact that your WordOutput.doc file is not a DOC binary file, but an RTF file probably.

By the way, where did you see this example? I think we’ve updated all the examples to show the use of new Document ctor.
