   ByVal destinationFileName As String _
) 

'Usage

   String^ destinationFileName
) 

Parameters

distillerOptions

The options to use when creating the PDF file. Cannot be null .

destinationFileName

Name of the destination PDF file to be created. Cannot be null.

To use this method, associate this PDFFile object with a valid Postscript file. You can achieve this by either using the PDFFile(string fileName) constructors or set the filename and directly into the FileName property. Note: Since the file is Postscript, do not call Load before using this method.

This method will use the following properties of this PDFFile object to create the destination PDF file:

• DocumentProperties. If the value of this property is null, then default properties will be used

• SecurityOptions. If the value of this property is not null, then the destination file will be encrypted using the properties of this property. If the value of this property is null, the resulting file will not be encrypted.

• CompatibilityLevel. The PDF version of the generated file.

This example will create (distill) a PDF file from a Postscript file.
