Convert BMP to PDF

Convert BMP files to PDF document using Aspose.PDF for C++ library.

BMP images are Files having extension. BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. You can convert BMP to PDF files with Aspose.PDF for C++ API. Therefore, you can follow the following steps to convert BMP images:

1. Create a String Class for path name and file name.
2. An instance of a new Document object is created.
3. Add a new Page to this Document.
4. A new Aspose.Pdf BMP is created.
5. The Aspose.PDF BMP object is initialized using the input file.
6. Aspose.PDF BMP is added to the Page as a Paragraph.
7. Finally, save the output PDF file

So the following code snippet follows these steps and shows how to convert BMP to PDF using C++:

void ConvertBMPtoPDF() 
{
    std::clog << "BMP to PDF convert: Start" << std::endl;

    // String for path name
    String _dataDir("C:\\Samples\\Conversion\\");

    // String for input file name
    String infilename("sample.bmp");

    // String for input file name
    String outfilename("ImageToPDF-BMP.pdf");

    // Open document
    auto document = MakeObject<Document>();

    // Add empty page in empty document
    auto page = document->get_Pages()->Add();
    auto image = MakeObject<Aspose::Pdf::Image>();
    image->set_File(_dataDir + infilename);

    // Add image on a page
    page->get_Paragraphs()->Add(image);

    // Save output document
    document->Save(_dataDir + outfilename);

    std::clog << "BMP to PDF convert: Finish" << std::endl;

Convert SVG to PDF

Aspose.PDF for C++ explains how to convert SVG images to PDF format and how to get dimensions of the source SVG file.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (interactive or animated). The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.

SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and if required, compressed. As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but it is often more convenient to create them with drawing programs such as Inkscape.

1. Create a String Class for path name and file name.
2. Create an instance of SvgLoadOptions class.
3. Create an instance of Documentclass with mention source filename and options.
4. Save the document with the desired file name.

The following code snippet shows the process of converting SVG file into PDF format with Aspose.PDF for C++.

void ConvertSVGtoPDF() 
{
    std::clog << "SVG to PDF convert: Start" << std::endl;

    String _dataDir("C:\\Samples\\Conversion\\");
    String infilename("sample.svg");
    String outfilename("ImageToPDF-SVG.pdf");

    auto options = MakeObject<SvgLoadOptions>();
    try {
    auto document = MakeObject<Document>(_dataDir + infilename, options);
    document->Save(_dataDir + outfilename);
    }
    catch (System::Exception ex) {
    std::cerr << ex->get_Message() << std::endl;
    }
    std::clog << "SVG to PDF convert: Finish" << std::endl;
