Document Editor exports the document into various known file formats in client-side such as Microsoft Word document (.docx), text document (.txt), and its own format called Syncfusion Document Text (.sfdt).
We are providing two types of save APIs as mentioned below.
| API name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| save(filename,FormatType):void FormatType: Sfdt or Docx or Txt |
Creates the document with specified file name and format type. Then, the created file is downloaded in the client browser by default. |
| saveAsBlob(FormatType):Blob | Creates the document in specified format type and returns the created document as Blob. This blob can be uploaded to your required server, database, or file path. |
The following example shows how to export documents in Document Editor as Syncfusion document text (.sfdt).
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<button v-on:click='saveAsSfdt' >Save</button>
</div>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :enableSfdtExport='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditor='true' :isReadOnly='false' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Selection, Editor, SfdtExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditor : [SfdtExport, Selection, Editor]
}
methods: {
saveAsSfdt: function() {
//Download the current document in sfdt format.
this.$refs.documenteditor.save('sample', 'Sfdt');
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor/styles/material.css";
</style>The following example shows how to export the document as Word document (.docx).
Note: The Syncfusion Document Editor component’s document pagination (page-by-page display) can’t be guaranteed for all the Word documents to match the pagination of Microsoft Word application. For more information about why the document pagination (page-by-page display) differs from Microsoft Word

</style>Document Editor also supports API to store the document into a blob. Refer to the following sample to export document into blob in client-side.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<button v-on:click='exportBlob' >Save</button>
</div>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :enableSfdtExport='true' :enableWordExport='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditor='true' :isReadOnly='false' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Selection, Editor, SfdtExport, WordExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditor : [SfdtExport, WordExport, Selection, Editor]
}
methods: {
exportBlob: function() {
//Export the document as Blob object.
this.$refs.documenteditor.saveAsBlob('Docx').then((exportedDocument: Blob) => {
// The blob can be processed further
});
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor/styles/material.css";
</style>For instance, to export the document as Rich Text Format file, implement an ASP.NET MVC web API controller using DocIO library by passing the DOCX blob. Refer to the following code example.
//API controller for the conversion.
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage ExportAsRtf()
{
System.Web.HttpPostedFile data = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0];
//Opens document stream
WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(data.InputStream);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
//Converts document stream as RTF
wordDocument.Save(stream, FormatType.Rtf);
wordDocument.Close();
stream.Position = 0;
return new HttpResponseMessage() { Content = new StreamContent(stream) };
}In client-side, you can consume this web service and save the document as Rich Text Format (.rtf) file. Refer to the following example.
function exportBlob() {
documenteditor.saveAsBlob('Docx').then((exportedDocument: Blob) => {
// The blob can be processed further
let formData: FormData = new FormData();
formData.append('fileName', 'sample.docx');
formData.append('data', exportedDocument);
//Send blob object to server.
saveAsRtf(formData);
});
});
function saveAsRtf(formData: FormData): void {
let httpRequest: XMLHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open('POST', '/api/DocumentEditor/ExportAsRtf', true);
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = () => {
if (httpRequest.readyState === 4) {
if (httpRequest.status === 200 || httpRequest.status === 304) {
if (!(!navigator.msSaveBlob)) {
navigator.msSaveBlob(httpRequest.response, 'sample.rtf');
} else {
let downloadLink: HTMLAnchorElement = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'a') as HTMLAnchorElement;
download('sample.rtf', 'rtf', httpRequest.response, downloadLink, 'download' in downloadLink);
}
} else {
console.error(httpRequest.response);
}
}
}
httpRequest.responseType = 'blob';
httpRequest.send(formData);
}
//Download the rtf document.
function download(fileName: string, extension: string, buffer: Blob, downloadLink: HTMLAnchorElement, hasDownloadAttribute: Boolean): void {
if (hasDownloadAttribute) {
downloadLink.download = fileName;
let dataUrl: string = window.URL.createObjectURL(buffer);
downloadLink.href = dataUrl;
let event: MouseEvent = document.createEvent('MouseEvent');
event.initEvent('click', true, true);
downloadLink.dispatchEvent(event);
setTimeout((): void => {
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(dataUrl);
dataUrl = undefined;
});
} else {
if (extension !== 'docx' && extension !== 'xlsx') {
let url: string = window.URL.createObjectURL(buffer);
let isPopupBlocked: Window = window.open(url, '_blank');
if (!isPopupBlocked) {
window.location.href = url;
}
}
}
}
