This is an update for our Convert Word Doc to PDF in C++ blog post in October 2016. The project has been updated to use our v20 C/C++ libraries, and was built with Visual Studio 2017.

What it Does:
This C/C++ console application project shows how to use LEADTOOLS to convert a Word DOC to document-based PDF.

Features Used:

Document Writers: https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/document/document-writers
PDF: https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/pdf
SVG: https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/formats/svg

Supports More Than Just PDF!
Changing the output format to something other than PDF is trivial. Just locate the call below (convert2pdf.cpp line 17) and change the format.

Code:


nRet = L_DocWriterInit(
   &hDocWriter,
   (L_TCHAR*)targetFile, 
   DOCUMENTFORMAT_PDF, // Change this
   NULL, NULL, NULL);

Note: The sample project below also configures PDF specific options. If you wish to convert to another format, either pass NULL as the third parameter, as shown in the snippet above, or supply the corresponding options struct.
