Import from Microsoft Word
The Rich Text Editor allows you to import content from Word documents, preserving the original formatting and structure, including headings, lists, tables, and text styles. This ensures that documents are accurately represented within the editor for seamless editing and enhancement
To integrate an ImportWord option into the Rich Text Editor toolbar using the ToolbarSettings Items property.
To enable the ImportWord functionality, the ServiceUrl property must be correctly configured within the ImportWord. This API endpoint facilitates the file upload process and manages the server-side conversion of the document.
The following code block provides a detailed explanation of the API endpoint used for the import functionality:
public IActionResult ImportFromWord(IList<IFormFile> UploadFiles)
{
string HtmlString = string.Empty;
if (UploadFiles != null)
{
foreach (var file in UploadFiles)
{
string filename = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(file.ContentDisposition).FileName.Trim('"');
filename = _webHostEnvironment.WebRootPath + $@"\{filename}";
using (FileStream fs = System.IO.File.Create(filename))
{
file.CopyTo(fs);
fs.Flush();
}
using (var mStream = new MemoryStream())
{
new WordDocument(file.OpenReadStream(), FormatType.Rtf).Save(mStream, FormatType.Html);
mStream.Position = 0;
HtmlString = new StreamReader(mStream).ReadToEnd();
};
HtmlString = ExtractBodyContent(HtmlString);
HtmlString = SanitizeHtml(HtmlString);
System.IO.File.Delete(filename);
}
return Ok(HtmlString);
}
else
{
Response.Clear();
// Return an appropriate status code or message
return BadRequest("No files were uploaded.");
}
}
private string ExtractBodyContent(string html)
{
if (html.Contains("<html") && html.Contains("<body"))
{
return html.Remove(0, html.IndexOf("<body>") + 6).Replace("</body></html>", "");
}
return html;
}
private string SanitizeHtml(string html)
{
// Remove or replace non-ASCII or control characters
// For example, you can use regular expressions to replace them with spaces
// Regex pattern to match non-ASCII or control characters: [^\x20-\x7E]
return Regex.Replace(html, @"[^\x20-\x7E]", " ");
}The ImportWord functionality is integrated within the ActionBegin and ActionComplete events. If the cancel property is set to true in the ActionBegin event argument, the execution of the ImportWord functionality can be prevented.
The following example illustrates how to set up the ImportWord in the Rich Text Editor to facilitate content importation from Word documents:

}Export to PDF / Microsoft Word
The Rich Text Editor’s export functionality allows users to convert their edited content into PDF or Word documents with a single click, preserving all text styles, images, tables, and other formatting elements.
You can add ExportWord and ExportPdf tools to the Rich Text Editor toolbar using the ToolbarSettings Items property.
To enable the ExportWord and ExportPdf functionality, the ServiceUrl property must be correctly configured within the ExportWordModel and ExportPdfModel. These API endpoints handle the export process and manage the server-side generation of Word and PDF files, respectively.
The following code block provides a detailed explanation of the API endpoint used for the content export functionality:
public class ExportParam
{
public string html { get; set; }
}
[AcceptVerbs("Post")]
[EnableCors("AllowAllOrigins")]
[Route("ExportToPdf")]
public ActionResult ExportToPdf([FromBody] ExportParam args)
{
string htmlString = args.html;
if (htmlString == null && htmlString == "")
{
return null;
}
using (WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument())
{
//This method adds a section and a paragraph in the document
wordDocument.EnsureMinimal();
wordDocument.HTMLImportSettings.ImageNodeVisited += OpenImage;
//Append the HTML string to the paragraph.
wordDocument.LastParagraph.AppendHTML(htmlString);
DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();
//Converts Word document into PDF document
PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);
wordDocument.HTMLImportSettings.ImageNodeVisited -= OpenImage;
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
pdfDocument.Save(stream);
return File(stream.ToArray(), System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf, "Sample.pdf");
}
}
[AcceptVerbs("Post")]
[EnableCors("AllowAllOrigins")]
[Route("ExportToDocx")]
public FileStreamResult ExportToDocx([FromBody] ExportParam args)
{
string htmlString = args.html;
if (htmlString == null && htmlString == "")
{
return null;
}
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
document.EnsureMinimal();
//Hooks the ImageNodeVisited event to open the image from a specific location
document.HTMLImportSettings.ImageNodeVisited += OpenImage;
//Validates the Html string
bool isValidHtml = document.LastSection.Body.IsValidXHTML(htmlString, XHTMLValidationType.None);
//When the Html string passes validation, it is inserted to the document
if (isValidHtml)
{
//Appends the Html string to first paragraph in the document
document.Sections[0].Body.Paragraphs[0].AppendHTML(htmlString);
}
//Unhooks the ImageNodeVisited event after loading HTML
document.HTMLImportSettings.ImageNodeVisited -= OpenImage;
//Creates file stream.
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream, FormatType.Docx);
stream.Position = 0;
//Download Word document in the browser
return File(stream, "application/msword", "Result.docx");
}
}The FileName and Stylesheet properties within the ExportWord and ExportPdf allow for the customization of file names and stylesheets for the exported documents, respectively.
The ExportWord and ExportPdf functionality is integrated within the ActionBegin and ActionComplete events. If the cancel property is set to true in the ActionBegin event argument, the execution of the ExportWord and ExportPdf functionality can be prevented.
The ActionBegin event argument includes an ExportValue property, which contains the content to be exported. This content can be modified by configuring the ActionBegin event.
The following example demonstrates how to configure the ExportWord and ExportPdf tools in the Rich Text Editor, facilitating the export of content into Word or PDF documents:
<ejs-richtexteditor id="exportRTE" value="@Value" enableXhtml="true">

<e-richtexteditor-exportword serviceUrl="@ExportWord.ServiceUrl"
fileName="@ExportWord.FileName" stylesheet="@ExportWord.Stylesheet">
</e-richtexteditor-exportword>
<e-richtexteditor-exportpdf serviceUrl="@ExportPdf.ServiceUrl"
fileName="@ExportPdf.FileName" stylesheet="@ExportPdf.Stylesheet">
