Syntax

C++

public void PrepareToSave()

   void PrepareToSave()

Remarks

This method must be called before the LEADDocument currently in the viewer is saved or passed to a DocumentConverter instance for conversion to a new format.

The method will update all the data that might have been changed by the user including the text or annotations containers.

Example

Start with the example created in DocumentViewerAnnotations, remove all the code in the Example function and add the code below.

When the user clicks the Example button, the document is saved to a new PDF file.
