Conversions of Finance formats

Support for Finance formats was added. You can now convert Finance formats to another Finance format or to Spreadsheet formats.

For example, the following code sample demonstrates how to convert a XBRL file to XLSX:

// Load the source XBRL file
using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter("sample.xbrl"))
{
    // Set the convert options for Spreadsheet format
   var options = new SpreadsheetConvertOptions();
    // Convert to XLSX format
    converter.Convert("converted.xlsx", options);
}

Conversions to PostScript (PS) and Printer Command Language (PCL) formats

It now became possible to save document to PostScript (PS) and Printer Command Language (PCL) formats when converting from PDF, word-processing, presentation, spreadsheet, web, e-mail, CAD, diagram, GIS, image, note, and project-management formats.

For example, the following code sample demonstrates how to convert a DOCX file to PS:

// Load the source DOCX file
using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter("sample.docx"))
{
    // Set the convert options
    var options = new PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions()
    {
        Format = PageDescriptionLanguageFileType.Ps
    };
    // Convert to PS format
    converter.Convert("converted.ps", options);
}
