Office to PDF (Foxit conversion engine)

Foxit Office to PDF is powered by Foxit's proprietary high-performance conversion engine. It gives developers robust Office-to-PDF conversion for docx, xlsx, and pptx files. The engine can be integrated as a standalone SDK library or as a plugin in Foxit PDF SDK, extending the SDK's use cases.

See the Office to PDF example configuration and run guide for setup steps and sample code.

To learn more about Foxit's conversion engine, see Explore Foxit Conversion SDK.

The sample code below shows how to use the Office2PDF module in Foxit PDF SDK to convert different Office document types to PDF without relying on third-party engines.
