Implementation Guide

Feature Overview: EMZ to SVG Conversion

This feature allows you to convert an Enhanced Windows Metafile Compressed (.emz) file into a Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) format, providing enhanced scalability and quality for web graphics.

Step 1: Load the Source EMZ File

To begin the conversion process, load your source EMZ file:

string documentDirectory = "YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY"; // Specify your directory path
using (var converter = new Converter(Path.Combine(documentDirectory, "sample.emz")))
{
    // Conversion steps will follow
}

Explanation: The Converter class is initialized with the path to your source EMZ file. It sets up the conversion process by loading the file into memory.

Step 2: Set Conversion Options

Define the conversion options for SVG format:

var options = new PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions { Format = GroupDocs.Conversion.FileTypes.PageDescriptionLanguageFileType.Svg };

Explanation: The PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions class allows you to specify the output format. Setting the Format property ensures that the conversion targets SVG files.

Step 3: Perform Conversion and Save Output

Execute the conversion and save the result:

string outputPath = Path.Combine("YOUR_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY\
