This how-to tutorial guides on how to convert PDF to PDF X1A using C#. It has the environment settings to use Aspose.PDF for .NET for the desired conversion, a list of programming steps, and a runnable sample code to transform PDF to PDF X1A using C#. Different options will also be discussed to customize the transformation process for generating the output file in any of the platforms supporting .NET environment.
Steps to Convert PDF to PDF X 1A using C#
- Set the IDE to add Aspose.PDF for .NET to change PDF to PDF X1A
- Load the target PDF file using the Document class for conversion to PDF/X-1a
- Create an object of PdfFormatConversionOptions class
- Set the format to PdfFormat.PDF_X_1A
- Call the Convert() method using the specified conversions settings
- Save the resultant PDF file after modifying printing-related changes
Here is the summary of steps defining the process of transforming PDF to PDF X 1A using C#. The process is commenced by loading the source PDF file into the Document class object, creating the PdfFormatConversionOptions object, and setting the output PDF format to PdfFormat.PDF_X_1A. In the final steps, the Convert() method is called for the conversion before saving the output PDF file.
Code to Convert PDF to PDF X1A using C#
| using Aspose.Pdf; | |
| class Program{ | |
| static void Main(string[] args) // PDF to PDF X1A | |
| { | |
| // Set PDF license | |
| new License().SetLicense("Aspose.Total.lic"); | |
| // Load a PDF source file | |
| Document pdfDocument = new Document("input.pdf"); | |
| // Create an object of PdfFormatConversionOptions class | |
| PdfFormatConversionOptions options = new PdfFormatConversionOptions(PdfFormat.PDF_X_1A); | |
| // Set PDF_X_1A format | |
| pdfDocument.Convert(options); | |
| // Save the document | |
| pdfDocument.Save("output_x_1a.pdf"); | |
| } | |
| } |
This code demonstrates the process of developing the PDF to PDF X 1A converter using C#. The PdfFormatConversionOptions class contains a number of properties and methods for instance, the AlignText flag for setting alignment, ErrorAction for controlling the error states during the conversion, and OptimizeFileSize for generating reduced-size output files to name a very few. Similarly, while executing the Convert() method you may use the ConvertErrorAction.Delete option to handle the conversion errors.
