Our .NET library allows developers to programmatically create a document from scratch

Make A Document In C#

Make a document using C#

With the given powerful API, C# developers can create documents in almost any format. To do this, you need to follow a few steps using our .NET library:

Add file name
Start creating a document using C#
Save the created document in the selected format

It is worth noting that a blank document is technically supposed to contain one paragraph, so when you programmatically create a document, you will get exactly that basic document structure.

Note that you can instantly add content to a newly created document. Thus, you will get not just an empty document, but a document containing the necessary content. For more information on how to edit a document, see the Editing page.

The given .NET library allows you to programmatically create a document in any supported format – PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB, HTML and other.

Try our powerful functionality and see how to create a document in some formats using the following example:
