Once you have the Document object, you can use the Document.Save method to save the document as an IMAGE file.
By using Aspose.Total for .NET, you can easily convert OFT files to IMAGE. Aspose.Email for .NET is used to convert OFT files to HTML, and Aspose.Words for .NET is used to render the HTML file to an IMAGE. With these APIs, you can quickly and easily add OFT to IMAGE conversion features to your .NET applications.

Parse OFT File via .NET

For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using SenderName property.
var outlookMessageFile = MapiMessage.FromFile("message.oft");
// check for SenderName
if(outlookMessageFile.SenderName == "John"){
//proceed with conversion process
}
Restrict IMAGE Document Editing via .NET
While saving the document from OFT to IMAGE, you might need to protect your output document. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. This can be useful to prevent other people from editing sensitive and confidential information in your document. Aspose.Words for .NET API, enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. You can set your document to read-only by using the following lines of code.
Document document = new Document("HtmlOutput.html");
// apply document protection and set protection password
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Png
document.Save("output.png", SaveFormat.Png);
