The following code snippet shows how to convert a CSV document and control the way the date/time and numeric data have been processed:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CsvLoadOptions
{
ConvertDateTimeData = true,
ConvertNumericData = true
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CsvLoadOptions
{
ConvertDateTimeData = true,
ConvertNumericData = true
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
The following code snippet shows how to convert a CSV document and specify the delimiter:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CsvLoadOptions
{
Separator = ','
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CsvLoadOptions
{
Separator = ','
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
The following code snippet shows how to convert a CSV document and specify the encoding:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CsvLoadOptions
{
Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("shift_jis")
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CsvLoadOptions
{
Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("shift_jis")
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
To fit the row content of all rows while converting, set the AutoFitRows property to true:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CsvLoadOptions
{
AutoFitRows = true
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CsvLoadOptions
{
AutoFitRows = true
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
