Convert DOC / DOCX to PNG [closed]

Answer 1

Yes, such complex file types conversions are usually well implemented in the specialized / 3-rd party libraries (like in the aforementioned one), or, for example, in the DevExpress Document Automation:

using System;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.IO;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;

using(MemoryStream streamWithWordFileContent = new MemoryStream()) {
    //Populate the streamWithWordFileContent object with your DOC / DOCX file content

    RichEditDocumentServer richContentConverter = new RichEditDocumentServer();
    richContentConverter.LoadDocument(streamWithWordFileContent, DocumentFormat.Doc);

    //Save
    PrintableComponentLink pcl = new PrintableComponentLink(new PrintingSystem());
    pcl.Component = richContentConverter;
    pcl.CreateDocument();

    ImageExportOptions options = new ImageExportOptions(ImageFormat.Png);

    //Paging
    //options.ExportMode = ImageExportMode.SingleFilePageByPage;
    //options.PageRange = "1";

    pcl.ExportToImage(MapPath(@"~/DocumentAsImageOnDisk.png"), options);
}
