This is a test

 In search of a .net document conversion component. 

When you google .net document conversion you end up with several high cost products. But the fact is that not all of these components are equal. There are some excellent pay as you go solutions, so a developer could in effect offer the feature to users, but include a limited number of conversion call's based on the users monthly payment. 

While this might work for some for my business it doesn't work. When you have to limit users, and track useage it is just making extra work. 

So I came across GroupDocs Conversion for .net. This is an excellent solution, at $999 for a single developer license the API component is reasonably priced, but more important with a couple of lines of code can be implemented and offers conversion across many popular file types, DOC to PPT, DOC to PDF being two great uses. 

I already have an excellent editor component so I can produce some DOC's and now with the GroupDocs Conversion for .net can quickly convert these to other formats.

You can see from the image below how simple this is. First go to nuget, and search for the GroupDocs conversion package and install to your project. 

Then find where in your code you need to use the conversion and write a few simple lines of code, and you have an amazing result. That retains the formatting, so let's imagine you have a HTML editor that works well, but you want to write a DOCX from that, without using other plugins. 

Or let's say you have in my case a good DOC editor and need to save into multiple formats PPT, PDF, etc. But don't want to use standalone editors because really you are just trying to make multiple versions of the same file. 

GroupDocs then is an excellent choice. It won't break the bank which is important, and the support and online documentation will get even newbies up and running in minutes not days or weeks. 

The use cases are virtually endless with GroupDocs Conversion, so I can see this will be implemented across many of the softwares currently being developed and equally a good number of existing tools that I have developed. 

Enhancing software, providing more value for money and unique software propositions is simple to do with components like this. After a day of testing I can say I am very happy with this.
