Public Class AltoXmlDocumentOptions  
   Inherits DocumentOptions

Remarks

The options set in the AltoXmlDocumentOptions class will be used when the user saves a document using the DocumentFormat.AltoXml format.

To change the options used with the Alto format, perform the following steps:

  1. Use the DocumentWriter.GetOptions method of the DocumentWriter object being used. Passing DocumentFormat.AltoXml to the format parameter. Note that the resulting object from the base DocumentOptions class needs to be cast to AltoXmlDocumentOptions.
  2. Use the various AltoXmlDocumentOptions properties to change the options.
  3. Use DocumentWriter.SetOptions to set the new options in the engine.
  4. Now you can call the DocumentWriter.BeginDocument method (again, with DocumentFormat.AltoXml for the format parameter) to create a new document and add the pages.

Note that this format does not support calling DocumentWriter.InsertPage.

Example

This example will create a new text file using some of the supported options.
