Question:I'm looking for an inexpensive way of batch converting 1300 PDF documents to XPS documents. I know that I can simply print them in that format, but that would take a very long time. Is there a way to do this programmatically in C#? Is there a method on VeryDOC website?

{
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\\pdf2vec.exe";
string strArguments = "";
strArguments += "--scale";
strArguments += " D:\\temp\\sample.pdf D:\\temp\\out.xps";
Console.WriteLine(strArguments);
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @strArguments;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
}
