How to convert CSV to PDF

Sheetize PDF Converter for .NET offers a powerful yet easy‑to‑use API that transforms plain‑text CSV data into high‑quality PDF files. Whether you need printable reports, invoices, or data‑driven brochures, the converter handles delimiters, encoding, styling, and pagination automatically.

Main Features

Convert CSV to PDF

  • Automatic detection of column separators (comma, semicolon, tab).
  • Full control over page layout – size, orientation, margins, and headers/footers.
  • Customizable fonts, colors, and cell formatting for a professional look.
  • Supports embedding images and charts generated from CSV data.

Batch Processing

Convert multiple CSV files in a single operation, each producing its own PDF or a combined document.

Detailed Instructions

CSV → PDF Workflow

To convert a CSV file to PDF, follow these steps:

  1. Initialize the Converter – Create an instance of PdfConverter.
  2. Load CSV Options – Configure LoadOptions (delimiter, encoding, hasHeader).
  3. Define PDF Options – Set PdfSaveOptions (page size, margins, font, title).
  4. Execute Conversion – Call PdfConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions).

Example – CSV to PDF with Custom Layout

using Sheetize;

// Step 1: Load the CSV file
var loadOptions = new LoadOptions
{
InputFile = @"D:\Data\sales_report.csv"
};

// Step 2: Configure PDF output
var saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions
{
OutputFile = @"D:\Output\sales_report.pdf"
};

// Step 3: Perform the conversion
PdfConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions);

Example – Converting a Folder of CSV Files

using Sheetize;
using System.IO;

var csvFolder = @"D:\Data\CSV_Files";
var pdfFolder = @"D:\Data\PDF_Results";
Directory.CreateDirectory(pdfFolder);

foreach (var csvFile in Directory.GetFiles(csvFolder, "*.csv"))
{
var load = new LoadOptions
{
InputFile = csvFile
};

var save = new PdfSaveOptions
{
OutputFile = Path.Combine(pdfFolder, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(csvFile) + ".pdf")
};

PdfConverter.Process(load, save);
}

Expanded Format Support

  • In addition to CSV, the PDF Converter can directly ingest TSV, JSON, and Excel sources, offering a unified pathway to PDF output.
  • The same engine can also export PDF back to CSV (data‑only extraction) by using PdfConverter, facilitating round‑trip workflows for data auditing.

This guide equips you with everything you need to integrate Sheetize’s PDF Converter into .NET applications, turning raw CSV data into professional‑looking PDFs in just a few lines of code.
