Specifying Image Quality when Rendering PDF Documents as HTML

When rendering PDF documents as HTML, GroupDocs.Viewer creates a single image resource which contains all the images from the PDF document page. The API uses this image as the background for output HTML document. Since version 18.3, we have added the settings that are used to control the quality of the image resource. Following code sample shows how to get the best quality images when rendering PDF document as HTML.

//Init viewer configuration
ViewerConfig viewerConfig = new ViewerConfig();
viewerConfig.StoragePath = "c:\\storage";
   
// Init ViewerHtmlHandler 
ViewerHtmlHandler viewerHtmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(viewerConfig);
   
// Set the guid of the document you want to render
string guid = "with-images.pdf";
   
//Set desired image quality in the output HTML document
HtmlOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlOptions();
htmlOptions.PdfOptions.ImageQuality = ImageQuality.High;
  
//Render document with specified options
List pages = viewerHtmlHandler.GetPages(guid, htmlOptions);

foreach (PageHtml page in pages)
{
    //..
}
