This article provides a comprehensive guide on utilizing GroupDocs.Editor to obtain a new document in a specified format, extracting content from a client, processing it, and ultimately saving it to the resultant document.

    Getting Started with GroupDocs.Editor

    To initiate the document creation process, the GroupDocs.Editor constructor is employed. This constructor enables the creation of documents in different formats. Let’s explore the key components of the code and how it handles various Document Formats.

    1. WordProcessing Document: 

    Stream memoryStream = Stream.Null;

// Callback function to save the new document stream
void SaveNewDocument(Stream resultStream)
{
    memoryStream = resultStream;
}

// Create a new WordProcessing document and save it using a callback Action<Stream>.
using (Editor editor = new Editor(SaveNewDocument, WordProcessingFormats.Docx))
{
    // Edit the WordProcessing document with default options.
    EditableDocument defaultWordProcessingDoc = editor.Edit();

    // Edit the WordProcessing document with specified options and some defined settings.
    WordProcessingEditOptions wordProcessingEditOptions = new WordProcessingEditOptions();
    wordProcessingEditOptions.EnablePagination = false;  
    wordProcessingEditOptions.EnableLanguageInformation = true;  
    wordProcessingEditOptions.FontExtraction = FontExtractionOptions.ExtractAllEmbedded;  

    EditableDocument editableWordProcessingDocument = editor.Edit(wordProcessingEditOptions);
}

    2. Spreadsheet Document: 

    Stream memoryStream = Stream.Null;

// Callback function to save the new document stream
void SaveNewDocument(Stream resultStream)
{
    memoryStream = resultStream;
}

// Create a new Spreadsheet document and save it via callback Action<Stream>.
using (Editor editor = new Editor(SaveNewDocument, SpreadsheetFormats.Xlsx))
{
    // Edit the Spreadsheet document with default options.
    EditableDocument defaultEditableSpreadsheetDocument = editor.Edit();

    // Edit the Spreadsheet document with specified options and some defined settings.
    SpreadsheetEditOptions spreadsheetEditOptions = new SpreadsheetEditOptions();
    spreadsheetEditOptions.WorksheetIndex = 0;
    spreadsheetEditOptions.ExcludeHiddenWorksheets = true;

    EditableDocument editableSpreadsheetDocument = editor.Edit(spreadsheetEditOptions);
}

    3. Presentation Document: 

    // Callback function to save the new document stream
void SaveNewDocument(Stream resultStream)
{
    memoryStream = resultStream;
}

// Create a new Presentation document and save it via callback Action<Stream>.
using (Editor editor = new Editor(SaveNewDocument, PresentationFormats.Pptx))
{
    // Edit the Presentation document with default options.
    EditableDocument defaultEditablePresentationDocument = editor.Edit();

    // Edit the Presentation document with specified options and some defined settings.
    PresentationEditOptions presentationEditOptions = new PresentationEditOptions();
    presentationEditOptions.ShowHiddenSlides = false;
    presentationEditOptions.SlideNumber = 0;

    EditableDocument editablePresentationDocument = editor.Edit(presentationEditOptions);

    // Edit the Ebook document with specified options and some defined settings.
    EbookEditOptions ebookEditOptions = new EbookEditOptions();
    ebookEditOptions.EnablePagination = false;
    ebookEditOptions.EnableLanguageInformation = true;

    EditableDocument editableEbookDocument = editor.Edit(ebookEditOptions);
}

    5. Email Document: 

    Stream memoryStream = Stream.Null;

// Callback function to save the new document stream
void SaveNewDocument(Stream resultStream)
{
    memoryStream = resultStream;
}

// Create a new Email document and save it via callback Action<Stream>.
using (Editor editor = new Editor(SaveNewDocument, EmailFormats.Eml))
{
    // Edit the Email document with default options.
    EditableDocument defaultEditableEmailDocument = editor.Edit();
