Office File API - Use DevExpress Office File API Libraries (at the backend) for your Web-API Applications

By following the steps outlined in this example, you’ll create an ASP.NET Core Web API application using DevExpress Office File API libraries. The application will include a series of endpoints designed to perform the following actions:

• Convert Word and Excel files to available formats.
• Split Word, Excel and PDF files.
• Merge Word, Excel and PDF files.
• Password-protect Word, Excel and PDF files.
• Export Word, Excel and PDF files to accessible PDFs.
• Generate a letter based on a Word mail merge template.

The project contains a Dockerfile that specifies how to build the application in a Docker container.

Build the Docker Image

Use the following commands to build and run the docker image:

docker build -t officefileapinwebapi .
docker run -d -p 8080:80 officefileapinwebapi 

Note

You need to purchase a license to use the DevExpress Office File API in production code (DevExpress Office File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription)
