Convert PowerPoint Documents to JPG or PNG Images in C# and VB.NET
The following are the main steps to convert a PowerPoint document to JPG or PNG image:
- Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
- Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
- Iterate through all slides in the PowerPoint document.
- Save each slide as System.Drawing.Image object using ISlide.SaveAsImage() method.
- Save the image object to PNG or JPG file using Image.Save() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
using System.Drawing;
namespace ConvertPowerPointToJpgOrPngImage
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load a PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");
int i = 0;
//Iterate through all slides in the PowerPoint document
foreach(ISlide slide in presentation.Slides)
{
//Save each slide as PNG image
Image image = slide.SaveAsImage();
string fileName = string.Format("ToImage-img-{0}.png", i);
image.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
i++;
}
}
}
}
Convert PowerPoint Documents to TIFF Images in C# and VB.NET
The following are the steps to convert a PowerPoint document to TIFF image:
- Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
- Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
- Convert the PowerPoint document to TIFF image using Presentation.SaveToFile(string, FileFormat) method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
namespace ConvertPowerPointToTiffImage
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load a PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");
//Convert the PowerPoint document to TIFF image
presentation.SaveToFile("toTIFF.tiff", FileFormat.Tiff);
}
}
}
Convert PowerPoint Documents to EMF Images in C# and VB.NET
The following are the steps to convert a PowerPoint document to EMF image:
- Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
- Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
- Iterate through all slides in the PowerPoint document.
- Save each slide to EMF image using ISlide.SaveAsEMF() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
namespace ConvertPowerPointToEmfImage
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load a PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");
int i = 0;
//Iterate through all slides in the PowerPoint document
foreach (ISlide slide in presentation.Slides)
{
string fileName = string.Format("ToEmf-{0}.emf", i);
//Save each slide to EMF image
slide.SaveAsEMF(fileName);
//Save each slide to EMF image with specified width and height
//slide.SaveAsEMF(fileName, 1075, 710);
i++;
}
}
}
}
Convert PowerPoint Documents to SVG Images in C# and VB.NET
The following are the steps to convert a PowerPoint document to SVG images:
- Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
- Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
- Convert the PowerPoint document to SVG and save the results into a queue of byte arrays using Presentation.SaveToSVG() method.
- Iterate through the byte arrays in the queue.
- At each iteration, remove and return the byte array at the beginning of the queue using Queue.Dequeue() method.
- Initialize an instance of FileStream class and save the byte array to an SVG file using FileStream.Write() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
namespace ConvertPowerPointToSvgImage
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load a PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");
//Convert the PowerPoint document to SVG and save the results into a queue of byte arrays
Queue<byte[]> svgBytes = presentation.SaveToSVG();
int count = svgBytes.Count;
//Iterate through the byte arrays in the queue
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
//Remove and return the byte array at the beginning of the queue
byte[] bt = svgBytes.Dequeue();
//Specify the output file name
string fileName = string.Format("ToSVG-{0}.svg", i);
//Create a FileStream instance
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
//Save the byte array to a SVG file
fs.Write(bt, 0, bt.Length);
}
}
}
}

There are three ways to add Spire.PDFViewer controls to Toolbox for Windows Forms application.
In this document, these ways are introduced.
The First Solution
Set the CheckBox below to the CheckState "Checked" during installing Spire.PDFViewer.
After installment is completed, controls will be added to the Toolbox.
The Second Solution
If you have already installed Spire.PDFViewer, you can also add controls this way:
"Start" -"Programs" -"e-iceblue" -"Spire.PDFViewer" : Click "Add Controls into VS Toolbox".
Click "Add" to add controls.
The Third Solution
