How to convert TSV to PDF

Sheetize PDF Converter for .NET provides a powerful, easy‑to‑use API for converting tab‑separated values (TSV) into PDF files. Whether you need printable reports, data‑driven invoices, or export functionality for web applications, the converter handles large data sets, custom page layouts, and advanced styling while keeping the implementation minimal.

Main Features

Convert TSV to PDF

Generate PDF documents directly from TSV data, preserving column alignment, headers, and optional cell formatting (fonts, colours, borders).

Custom Page Settings

Define page size, orientation, margins, and scaling to match your branding or printing requirements.

Font & Resource Management

Embed TrueType/OpenType fonts, include images or charts, and control compression to produce lightweight or print‑ready PDFs.

High Performance

Stream‑based processing enables conversion of massive TSV files without loading the entire data set into memory.

Detailed Instructions

Example – TSV to PDF with Custom Layout

using Sheetize;

var loadOptions = new LoadOptions
{
    InputFile = @"D:\Data.tsv",
    FileFormat = FileFormatType.Tsv // explicitly tell the loader the source is TSV
};

var saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions
{
    OutputFile = @"D:\Report.pdf"
};

PdfConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions);

TSV → PDF Workflow

  1. Initialise the Converter: Create an instance of PdfConverter (the static Process method is sufficient for most scenarios).
  2. Configure Load Options: Set InputFile to the TSV path and confirm FileFormat is Tsv.
  3. Set Save Options: Choose the output path, page layout, fonts, and any visual tweaks (headers, footers, watermarks).
  4. Execute: Call PdfConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions); – the library reads the TSV stream, builds a table, applies the formatting, and writes the PDF file.

Expanded Format Support

  • In addition to TSV, the PDF Converter can ingest CSV, Excel (XLSX), and plain‑text tables, making it a universal export tool for data‑centric applications.
  • PDFs generated can be further converted back to image formats (PNG, JPEG) or to searchable PDFs using OCR modules provided in the Sheetize ecosystem.
