Load document from stream
There might be the case when source or target document is not physically located on the disk. Instead, you have the document in the form of a stream. In this case, to avoid the overhead of saving stream as a file on disk, GroupDocs.Merger provides a way to work with document streams directly.
The following are the steps to be followed:
- Obtain document stream;
- Pass opened source document stream to Merger class constructor.
Following code snippet describes this case.
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(@"c:\sample.docx"))
{
using (Merger merger = new Merger(stream))
{
Console.WriteLine($"Document loaded from stream successfully.");
}
}
