Why Format-Specific Options Matter

Different document formats have unique characteristics and conversion requirements. Using generic conversion settings often produces sub-optimal results, while format-specific options allow you to:

Preserve format-specific features and content
Control quality and appearance with precision
Optimize file size for specific use cases
Enable format-specific security and compatibility features

In this tutorial, we’ll explore the most important format-specific options for common document types and show you how to implement them effectively.

Step 1: Image Format Conversion Options

Let’s start with options for various image formats:

JPEG Conversion Options

JPEG is ideal for photographs and complex images with gradients:

# Tutorial Code Example: JPEG-Specific Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "jpeg",
    "FilePath": "documents/report.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 1920,               # Image width in pixels
        "Height": 1080,              # Image height in pixels
        "HorizontalResolution": 300, # Horizontal DPI
        "VerticalResolution": 300,   # Vertical DPI
        "Quality": 90,               # JPEG quality (1-100) - critical for JPEG
        "Grayscale": False,          # Keep color information
        "RotateAngle": 0,            # No rotation
        "BackgroundColor": "white"   # White background for transparent areas
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/images/"
}

Key JPEG-specific considerations:

Quality: Most important setting for JPEG; higher values increase quality but also file size
Resolution: 72-96 DPI for web, 150-300 DPI for printing
Color mode: Use grayscale for black and white documents to reduce file size

PNG Conversion Options

PNG is best for graphics, diagrams, and images with transparency:

# Tutorial Code Example: PNG-Specific Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "png",
    "FilePath": "documents/logo.psd",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 800,                # Image width in pixels
        "Height": 600,               # Image height in pixels
        "HorizontalResolution": 96,  # Web-optimized resolution
        "VerticalResolution": 96,    # Web-optimized resolution
        "Grayscale": False,          # Keep color information
        "RotateAngle": 0,            # No rotation
        "BackgroundColor": "transparent"  # PNG supports transparency
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/images/"
}

Key PNG-specific considerations:

Transparency: PNG supports transparent backgrounds, ideal for logos and graphics
Color depth: PNG maintains full color fidelity without compression artifacts
Resolution: Lower DPI (72-96) is typically sufficient for web use

TIFF Conversion Options

TIFF is preferred for high-quality document archiving:

# Tutorial Code Example: TIFF-Specific Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "tiff",
    "FilePath": "documents/contract.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 2480,                # A4 size at 300 DPI
        "Height": 3508,               # A4 size at 300 DPI
        "HorizontalResolution": 300,  # Print-quality resolution
        "VerticalResolution": 300,    # Print-quality resolution
        "Compression": "lzw",         # LZW lossless compression
        "Grayscale": False,           # Keep color information
        "RotateAngle": 0,             # No rotation
        "BackgroundColor": "white"    # White background
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/archives/"
}

Key TIFF-specific considerations:

Compression: TIFF supports multiple compression types:
- lzw: Good balance between size and quality (lossless)
- ccitt4: Ideal for black and white documents
- none: Uncompressed for maximum quality
Multi-page support: TIFF naturally supports multi-page documents
Resolution: Higher DPI (300+) for archival quality

Try it yourself

Create conversion settings for converting a colorful brochure to a web-optimized WebP image:

# Exercise: Create WebP-Specific ConvertOptions for web optimization
# Your code here:
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "webp",
    "FilePath": "documents/brochure.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 1200,
        "Height": 1600,
        "HorizontalResolution": 96,
        "VerticalResolution": 96,
        "Lossless": False,  # Use lossy compression for smaller file size
        "Grayscale": False, # Keep colors for brochure
        "RotateAngle": 0,
        "BackgroundColor": "white"
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/web_images/"
}

Step 2: PDF Format Conversion Options

PDF conversion offers extensive format-specific options:

        "Width": 8.27,             # A4 width in inches
        "Height": 11.69,           # A4 height in inches
        "Dpi": 300,                # Print-quality DPI
        "PdfFormat": "v1.7",       # Modern PDF format
        "MarginTop": 0.5,          # 0.5 inch margins
        "MarginBottom": 0.5,
        "MarginLeft": 0.5,
        "MarginRight": 0.5,
        "RemovePdfACompliance": False,  # Maintain PDF/A compliance if present
        "Linearize": False,        # Not needed for print
        "LinkDuplicateStreams": True,   # Optimize size
        "RemoveUnusedObjects": True,    # Optimize size
        "RemoveUnusedStreams": True,    # Optimize size
        "CompressImages": False,        # Maintain full image quality
        "ImageQuality": 100,            # Maximum image quality
        "UnembedFonts": False,          # Keep all fonts embedded
        "Grayscale": False,             # Keep color information
        "Zoom": 100                     # Normal zoom level
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/print_ready/"
}

Web-Optimized PDF

        "Zoom": 100                     # Normal zoom level
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/web_ready/"
}

Secure PDF

For creating password-protected PDF documents:

# Tutorial Code Example: Secure PDF Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "pdf",
    "FilePath": "documents/confidential_report.docx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 8.27,             # A4 width in inches
        "Height": 11.69,           # A4 height in inches
        "Dpi": 300,                # High quality
        "Password": "SecureP@ss2023!",  # Set password protection
        "PdfFormat": "v1.7",       # Modern PDF format
        "MarginTop": 0.5,          # Standard margins
        "MarginBottom": 0.5,
        "MarginLeft": 0.5,
        "MarginRight": 0.5,
        "Linearize": True,         # Optimize for viewing
        "CompressImages": True,    # Compress images
        "ImageQuality": 90,        # High quality images
        "Grayscale": False,        # Keep color information
        "WatermarkOptions": {      # Add watermark for extra security
            "Text": "CONFIDENTIAL",

- pdf/a-1a, pdf/a-1b: For archival requirements
Linearization: Enables “fast web view” for faster loading online
Image compression: Critical for controlling file size
Security options: Password protection for sensitive documents

Try it yourself

Create conversion settings for an archival-quality PDF/A document:

# Exercise: Create PDF/A Conversion Options for archival purposes
# Your code here:
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "pdf",
    "FilePath": "documents/legal_agreement.docx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 8.27,
        "Height": 11.69,
        "Dpi": 300,
        "PdfFormat": "pdf/a-1b",   # PDF/A format for archiving
        "MarginTop": 0.75,
        "MarginBottom": 0.75,
        "MarginLeft": 1.0,
        "MarginRight": 1.0,
        "RemovePdfACompliance": False,  # Maintain PDF/A compliance
        "Linearize": False,
        "LinkDuplicateStreams": True,
        "RemoveUnusedObjects": True,
        "RemoveUnusedStreams": True,
        "CompressImages": False,    # No image compression for archival quality
        "UnembedFonts": False,      # Embed all fonts
        "Grayscale": False
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/archival/"
}

Step 3: Office Document Format Options

Word Processing Formats (DOCX, DOC, RTF)

For Word document formats:

# Tutorial Code Example: Word Processing Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "docx",
    "FilePath": "documents/report.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 8.5,              # Letter width in inches
        "Height": 11,              # Letter height in inches
        "Dpi": 300,                # Document DPI
        "Password": "",            # No password protection
        "Zoom": 100,               # Normal zoom level
        "PdfRecognitionMode": "Flow",  # Recognize PDF content as flowing text
        "PageSize": "Letter",      # Page size
        "PageOrientation": "Portrait"  # Page orientation
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/word_docs/"
}

Key Word format considerations:

PDF Recognition Mode: Critical when converting from PDF
- Textbox: Preserves layout using text boxes
- Flow: Creates flowing text, better for editing
Page Size: Determines the document dimensions
Zoom: Affects how content is scaled

Spreadsheet Formats (XLSX, XLS, CSV)

For Excel and other spreadsheet formats:

# Tutorial Code Example: Spreadsheet Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "xlsx",
    "FilePath": "documents/data_table.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Password": "",            # No password protection
        "Zoom": 100,               # Normal zoom level
        "FromPage": 1,             # Start from first page
        "PagesCount": 0,           # Convert all pages
        "UsePdf": false            # Direct conversion without PDF intermediary
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/spreadsheets/"
}

Key Spreadsheet format considerations:

Limited Options: Spreadsheet formats have fewer format-specific options
Handling Tables: When converting from other formats, table structure is preserved
CSV Specifics: When targeting CSV, be aware that formatting and multiple sheets are lost

Presentation Formats (PPTX, PPT)

For PowerPoint and other presentation formats:

# Tutorial Code Example: Presentation Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "pptx",
    "FilePath": "documents/report.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Password": "",            # No password protection
        "Zoom": 100,               # Normal zoom level
        "FromPage": 1,             # Start from first page
        "PagesCount": 0,           # Convert all pages
        "UsePdf": false            # Direct conversion without PDF intermediary
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/presentations/"
}

Key Presentation format considerations:

Layout Preservation: Focus on maintaining visual layout and slide structure
Media Support: PPTX supports embedded media better than PPT
Animation: Most conversions do not preserve animations from other formats

Try it yourself

Create conversion settings for converting a PDF document to DOCX with flow-based text recognition:

# Exercise: Create Word Processing ConvertOptions with optimal text flow
# Your code here:
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "docx",
    "FilePath": "documents/article.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "Width": 8.5,
        "Height": 11,
        "Dpi": 300,
        "PdfRecognitionMode": "Flow",  # Better for editing text
        "PageSize": "Letter",
        "PageOrientation": "Portrait",
        "FromPage": 1,
        "PagesCount": 0            # Convert all pages
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/editable_docs/"
}

Step 4: Advanced Format-Specific Options by Document Type

HTML Conversion Options

HTML conversion offers special format-specific options:

# Tutorial Code Example: HTML Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "html",
    "FilePath": "documents/newsletter.docx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "FixedLayout": True,       # Maintain precise layout
        "Zoom": 100,               # Normal zoom level
        "FromPage": 1,             # Start from first page
        "PagesCount": 0,           # Convert all pages
        "UsePdf": false,           # Direct conversion
        "WatermarkOptions": {      # Optional watermark
            "Text": "PREVIEW",
            "Font": "Arial",
            "Color": "lightgray",
            "Width": 400,
            "Height": 80,
            "RotationAngle": 30,
            "Transparency": 0.7
        }
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/web_pages/"
}

Key HTML-specific considerations:

Fixed Layout: Controls whether the HTML uses fixed positioning or flowing layout
Responsive Design: When FixedLayout is false, content is more responsive
Browser Compatibility: HTML output is designed for modern browsers

E-book Formats (EPUB)

EPUB conversion has options for digital book creation:

# Tutorial Code Example: EPUB Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "epub",
    "FilePath": "documents/book_manuscript.docx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "PageSize": "A5",          # Common e-reader size
        "PageOrientation": "Portrait",
        "FromPage": 1,
        "PagesCount": 0,
        "WatermarkOptions": {      # Optional watermark
            "Text": "SAMPLE",
            "Font": "Times New Roman",
            "Color": "gray",
            "Transparency": 0.8
        }
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/ebooks/"
}

Key EPUB-specific considerations:

Page Size: Affects the default display size on e-readers
Content Structure: EPUB preserves document structure for reflowable content
Metadata: Source document properties often become EPUB metadata

SVG Vector Graphics

SVG conversion options focus on vector quality:

# Tutorial Code Example: SVG Conversion Options
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "svg",
    "FilePath": "documents/diagram.pdf",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "FromPage": 1,             # Start from first page
        "PagesCount": 1,           # Usually convert one page at a time for SVG
        "WatermarkOptions": None   # No watermark for clean vector output
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/vectors/"
}

Key SVG-specific considerations:

Vector Preservation: SVG maintains vector quality at any scale
Text Handling: Text elements in source documents are preserved as text in SVG
Single Page: SVG is typically used for single-page conversions

Try it yourself

Create conversion settings for converting a report to an EPUB e-book format with custom page size:

# Exercise: Create EPUB ConvertOptions for e-reader optimization
# Your code here:
conversion_settings = {
    "Format": "epub",
    "FilePath": "documents/technical_manual.docx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
        "PageSize": "A6",          # Smaller size for e-readers
        "PageOrientation": "Portrait",
        "FromPage": 1,
        "PagesCount": 0,           # Convert all pages
        "WatermarkOptions": None   # No watermark
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/technical_guides/"
}

Implementation Examples

Let’s see how to implement format-specific options with the API in different languages:

cURL Example (JPEG with Quality Options)

# Tutorial Code Example: Using Format-Specific Options with cURL
curl -X POST "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "Format": "jpeg",
    "FilePath": "documents/presentation.pptx",
    "ConvertOptions": {
      "Width": 1920,
      "Height": 1080,
      "Quality": 85,
      "FromPage": 1,
      "PagesCount": 0,
      "Grayscale": false
    },
    "OutputPath": "converted/"
  }'

};
var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configuration);

// Create conversion settings
var settings = new ConvertSettings 
{
    FilePath = "documents/report.pdf",
    Format = "docx",
    ConvertOptions = new WordProcessingConvertOptions 
    {
        Width = 8.5f,
        Height = 11f,
        Dpi = 300,
        PdfRecognitionMode = "Flow",  // Recognize PDF content as flowing text
        PageSize = "Letter",
        PageOrientation = "Portrait"
    },
    OutputPath = "converted/word_docs/"
};

// Execute conversion
var result = apiInstance.Convert(new ConvertRequest(settings));
Console.WriteLine($"Document converted successfully! Results: {result.Count} files");

Java Example (TIFF with Compression Options)

// Tutorial Code Example: Using Format-Specific Options with Java SDK

Tips and Best Practices

1. Choose the Right Format for Your Use Case

Select the optimal target format based on your needs:

JPEG: For photographs and web images where some quality loss is acceptable
PNG: For graphics, screenshots, and images needing transparency
TIFF: For archival images and documents requiring lossless quality
PDF: For documents that need to maintain exact layout and formatting
DOCX: For documents that will need further editing
SVG: For vector graphics that need to scale without quality loss

2. Optimize for File Size vs. Quality

Balance quality and file size based on your distribution method:

Web delivery: Favor smaller file sizes (higher compression, lower resolution)
Print production: Prioritize quality (minimal compression, higher resolution)
Email distribution: Balance moderate quality with reasonable file sizes
Archiving: Favor quality and format longevity over file size

3. Use Format-Specific Features Strategically

Leverage unique features of each format:

Use PDF security options for sensitive documents
Take advantage of PNG transparency for logos and graphics
Use TIFF compression options for large document archives
Leverage EPUB page sizing for optimal e-reader display

4. Test and Validate Conversions

Always test your conversion results:

Verify that the output meets your quality expectations
Check that all content is preserved correctly
Validate in the target environment (web browser, e-reader, etc.)
Compare multiple format options to find the optimal settings

Troubleshooting Format-Specific Issues

Issue 1: Poor Image Quality in JPEG

If JPEG images look pixelated or have compression artifacts:

Increase the Quality parameter (85-95 for high quality)
Increase resolution for images containing text or fine details
Consider using PNG for graphics with sharp edges and text

Issue 2: Large File Sizes in PDF

If PDF files are too large:

Enable CompressImages and adjust ImageQuality to 80-85
Use RemoveUnusedObjects and RemoveUnusedStreams
Enable LinkDuplicateStreams to optimize repeated content
Consider grayscale for documents without essential color information

Issue 3: Text Recognition Problems in DOCX

If text isn’t properly recognized when converting to DOCX:

Try different PdfRecognitionMode values (Flow vs. Textbox)
Ensure the source document has clear, high-quality text
For scanned documents, consider OCR processing before conversion

Issue 4: Content Loss in Format Conversion

If content is missing after conversion:

Check if the source format has features not supported in the target format
Verify that all pages are included (check FromPage and PagesCount)
Try using UsePdf: true as an intermediary for complex conversions
For Office formats, ensure embedded objects are properly handled
