This technical tip allows developers to extract ole data from a specific drawing object using Saaspose.Words REST API in your .NET applications. You need to upload file to Amazon S3 storage before running this example. Some important steps for performing this task are to specify product URI, Choose from jpeg, tiff, png and bmp, build URI, sign URI, get response stream, required methods and classes are also given in detail. Please check Saaspose example section for more details on how to upload files to Amazon S3 storage.
Sample Code for Extracting Ole Data from a Drawing Object at Amazon S3 Storage
Sample Code for Extracting Ole Data from a Drawing Object at Amazon S3 Storage
Code:
SaasposeApp.AppKey = "9a******************";
SaasposeApp.AppSID = "77*********************";
//specify product URI
Product.BaseProductUri = @"api*saaspose*com/v1.0";
try
{
int drawingObjectIndex = 1;
string fileName = "SampleDrawingObject.doc";
string saveFormat = "xls"; //Choose from jpeg, tiff, png and bmp
string outputFile = "C:\\OutputDrawingObject." + saveFormat;
string amazonS3StorageName = "MyAmazonS3Storage";
string amazonS3BucketName = "MyS3Bucket"; // include folder name if file is not at root folder
//build URI
string strURI = Product.BaseProductUri + "/words/" + fileName + "/drawingObjects/" + drawingObjectIndex;
strURI += "/oleData?storage=" + amazonS3StorageName + "&folder=" + amazonS3BucketName;
