Adding the Converter to Your Project:

To add the Aspose.PUB Convert tool to your Visual Studio project, navigate to your project's root directory and execute the following command:

dotnet Aspose.PUB.Convert add

This command adds the Aspose.PUB Convert functionality directly into your project, allowing you to use the library's methods and properties through your code. This is particularly useful for developers who are looking to implement customized PUB conversion processes directly within their applications.

Use from code:

Once added, you can easily call the PUB conversion methods in your project. Here is a simple example of how to use the Aspose.PUB Convert in your code:

using Aspose.Pub.MicroApps.Convert;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Initialize convert options
        var options = new ConvertOptions
        {
            // Required: Specify the input document path
            InputPath = "input.pub",
            
            // Required: Specify the output document path
            OutputPath = "output.pdf",
            
            // Optional: Specify the output format
            ToFormat = "pdf"
        };

        // Execute the conversion task
        await ConvertTasks.Create(options).Execute();
    }
}
