How to convert Word to specified document image format using RasterEdge VB.NET APIs?
What VB.NET online tutorials are provided for high-quality Word conversion?

Converting APIs

Before offering detailed VB.NET Word converting APIs, we think it is necessary to introduce two programming classes first.

DOCXDocument: this class exists as a constructor of in-memory Word .docx document file.
DOCXPage: this VB.NET Word conversion control add-on uses one DOCXPage object to represent one Word page.

VB.NET APIs to Render Word Page into Image Object REImage

Private Sub New(images As List(Of REImage))
End Sub
Private Function GetPage(pageIndex As Integer) As BasePage Implements DOCXDocument.GetPage
End Function
Private Function toImage() As BaseImage Implements DOCXPage.toImage
End Function
Private Function toImage(width As Integer, height As Integer) As BaseImage Implements DOCXPage.toImage
End Function

Convert REImage into Specified File Format

As this VB.NET Word converter library add-on contains several image compression mechanisms, developers can easily re-encode rendered REImage into desired document image format.

Private Sub Convert(s As Stream, format As ImageFormat) Implements REImage.Convert
End Sub

How to Convert

Using this VB.NET Word converter control component, developers can easily convert Word file that is created by Microsoft Word 2007 or later versions into PDF, tiff, bmp, jpeg, gif and bmp in both ASP.NET web and Windows Forms projects. Besides, this VB.NET Word converting assembly toolkit also allows developers to create a fully featured Word converting application by setting desired Word rendering options.

In following table, we not only briefly introduce diverse VB.NET Word converting functions but also attach detailed programming tutorial links to each supported Word rendering feature.
