In some cases document conversion may be a time-consuming operation (dependent on source document content, structure and complexity). For such situations caching can be a solution - converted document is stored into cache (for example at the local drive) and in a case of repetitive conversions of the document, GroupDocs.Conversion uses cached representation.
To enable caching, follow these steps:
Instantiate desired cache object (for example FileCache will store converted document results at the local drive)
Here is a code that demonstrates how to enable caching for GroupDocs.Conversion.
stringcachePath="c:\output\cache";FileCachecache=newFileCache(cachePath);Func<ConverterSettings>settingsFactory=()=>newConverterSettings{Cache=cache};using(Converterconverter=newConverter("sample.docx",settingsFactory)){PdfConvertOptionsoptions=newPdfConvertOptions();StopwatchstopWatch=Stopwatch.StartNew();converter.Convert("converted.pdf",options);stopWatch.Stop();Console.WriteLine("Time taken on first call to Convert method {0} (ms).",stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);stopWatch.Restart();converter.Convert("converted-1.pdf",options);stopWatch.Stop();Console.WriteLine("Time taken on second call to Convert method {0} (ms).",stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);}
