Re: convert Office documents to jpg

I would need to convert Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
uploaded to a server to jpg or other img format to be used as a
preview image in asp.net application. I would need only an image of
the document's first page.

Is this possible to do?

regards, Peter
Hi Peter,

Microsoft Office embeds a thumbnail image within the files (File-
>Properties->Save Preview Picture). If this feature was enabled (by
default for PowerPoint only) you can try to get the thumbnail using
the code from the following article:

Hope this helps
