Optimize output for printing

To optimize HTML output for printing, use the ForPrinting boolean property of the HtmlViewOptions class.

If the ForPrinting option is enabled, the output HTML pages are converted to the vector SVG format.

This option is supported for the following format families:

  • Presentation documents: PPT, PPS, PPTX, PPSX, ODP, FODP, OTP, POT, POTX, POTM, PPTM, PPSM
  • Diagram documents: VSD, VSDX, VSS, VST, VSX, VTX, VDW, VDX, VSSX, VSTX, VSDM, VSSM, VSTM
  • Meta file formats: WMF, WMZ, EMF, EMZ

The following code snippet shows how to render a .docx document to HTML optimized for printing:

using GroupDocs.Viewer;
using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options;
// ...

using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer("sample.docx"))
{
    // Create view options.
    var viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources();

    // Render a file optimized for printing.
    viewOptions.ForPrinting = true;
    viewer.View(viewOptions);
}
Imports GroupDocs.Viewer
Imports GroupDocs.Viewer.Options
' ...

Module Program
    Sub Main(args As String())
        Using viewer As Viewer = New Viewer("sample.docx")
            ' Create view options.
            Dim viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources()
        
            ' Render a file optimized for printing.
            viewOptions.ForPrinting = True
            viewer.View(viewOptions)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module
