Implementation Guide

Feature: Convert DWT to TEX

Overview: Converting a .dwt file into TEX format enhances text processing and compatibility with document management systems. Here’s how:

Step 1: Load the Source DWT File

Ensure your source DWT file is in a specified directory:

string documentDirectory = "YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY";
string inputFilePath = Path.Combine(documentDirectory, "sample.dwt");

Why: Loading the correct file is crucial for our conversion process.

Step 2: Initialize Converter with DWT File

Use GroupDocs.Conversion to initialize your converter object:

using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter(inputFilePath))
{
    // Conversion options will be set here
}

Why: This step sets up the necessary environment for conversion, ensuring all resources are allocated.

Step 3: Set Conversion Options

Specify output settings to convert into TEX format:

using GroupDocs.Conversion.Options.Convert;
PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions options = new PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions 
{ 
    Format = GroupDocs.Conversion.FileTypes.PageDescriptionLanguageFileType.Tex 
};

Why: Specifying conversion options tailors the output to your needs.

Step 4: Perform Conversion and Save Output

Execute the conversion and save the TEX file:

string outputFile = Path.Combine("YOUR_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY\
