Edit Word or PDF file in .NET SDK

Use REST API to edit files in C# programmatically

When developers modify a document with the given .NET solution, what is actually being edited is the Document Object Model (DOM). Thus, almost any changes can be made to the document represented as DOM. With the provided .NET SDK, developers can easily edit a document: modify text, update tables, add images and so on. Just load your Word, PDF or file in a supported load format, make the necessary changes programmatically and export the result to a supported save format.

Edit document in C# using REST API

Our .NET library gives developers the ability to modify a document directly by editing its Document Object Model (DOM), which means no additional software needs to be installed.

It is important to know that using this C# solution, you can edit a document in any supported format. For example, it is possible to load a file in PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB, HTML and other formats, and then modify this file and save it in the same format or in any other supported format.

Edit text in C#

The most popular case to edit Word, PDF or any other document is text editing. With the given software solution, you can add, modify or delete text using C# within the document.

Edit table in C#

Another popular document editing option is table editing. Our .NET SDK allows you to work with tables and text in table cells.

C# developers can add or remove table and table cells, as well as add, edit and remove text within them.

Add an image to a document using C#

Besides editing text and tables, there is another common option: adding images to a document in C#. .NET developers can also add an image into a file using DOM.

    Width = 0f,
    RelativeHorizontalPosition = DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeHorizontalPositionEnum.Margin,
    RelativeVerticalPosition = DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeVerticalPositionEnum.Margin,
    WrapType = DrawingObjectInsert.WrapTypeEnum.Inline
};
using var requestImageFile = File.OpenRead("Input2.docx");
var insertDrawingObjectRequest = new InsertDrawingObjectOnlineRequest(requestDocument, 
   requestDrawingObject, requestImageFile, nodePath: "sections/0");
var insertDrawingObject = await wordsApi.InsertDrawingObjectOnline(insertDrawingObjectRequest);
