To load and save the options to an XML file on disk instead of a stream, use LoadOptions(string) and SaveOptions(string).

Saving the options to an XML file allows the options to be the required way once and then re-used in multiple sessions (or multiple DocumentWriter instances). Each document format supported by the LEADTOOLS Document Writer contain extra functionality and options that can be accessed with the GetOptions and SetOptions methods. For more information, refer to DocumentOptions.
