Rasterize - save DOCX document as PNG and JPEG images in C# and .NET

  1. Add SautinSoft.Document from Nuget.
  2. Load a DOCX document.
  3. Execute document pagination.
  4. Save the each page as PNG or Jpeg image.

   In this example we'll how rasterize/save 1st and 2nd pages of DOCX document as PNG and JPEG images.
