The following code snippet shows how to convert to WordProcessing with advanced options:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        PageNumber = 2,
        PagesCount = 1,
        Format = WordProcessingFileType.Docx,
        PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait
    };
    converter.Convert("converted.docx", options);
}

You can control page size using either predefined sizes or custom dimensions:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        PageSize = PageSize.A4,
        PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait
    };
    converter.Convert("a4-document.docx", options);
}

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        PageWidth = 612,   // 8.5 inches × 72 points/inch
        PageHeight = 792   // 11 inches × 72 points/inch
    };
    converter.Convert("custom-size.docx", options);
}

Set custom margins for all four sides:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        MarginTop = 72,     // 1 inch
        MarginBottom = 72,  // 1 inch
        MarginLeft = 90,    // 1.25 inches
        MarginRight = 90    // 1.25 inches
    };
    converter.Convert("margins-document.docx", options);
}

When converting from PDF, control how content is interpreted:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("document.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        PdfRecognitionMode = PdfRecognitionMode.Flow  // Recommended for editable content
    };
    converter.Convert("editable-document.docx", options);
}

Available recognition modes:

• Textbox - Preserves exact layout using textboxes (less editable)
• Flow - Optimizes for content flow and editability (recommended)

The RtfOptions class provides RTF-specific convert options:

• ExportImagesForOldReaders - specifies whether the keywords for “old readers” are written to RTF or not. This can significantly affect the size of the RTF document.

The following code snippet shows how to convert to RTF with specific options:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        Format = WordProcessingFileType.Rtf,
        RtfOptions = new RtfOptions
        {
            ExportImagesForOldReaders = true
        }
    };
    converter.Convert("converted.rtf", options);
}

Convert documents to Markdown format:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions
    {
        Format = WordProcessingFileType.Md
    };
    converter.Convert("converted.md", options);
}
