Members

Value	Member	Description
-1	User	User-defined document format. The User document format is not used inside the LEADTOOLS Document Writers toolkit. An exception will be thrown if User is used as an output document format in the DocumentWriter.BeginDocument method. The User format can however be used as an output format when used in the LEADTOOLS OCR toolkit as a special case to instruct the OCR framework to save the document using the engine native format.
0	Ltd	LEADTOOLS Temporary Document. This format creates a temporary file on disk that can later be converted to any of the other formats supported by the LEADTOOLS Document Writers. This format supports appending pages to an existing file, therefore, you can use the Ltd format if you have large amount of pages to convert over multiple sessions. When calling the DocumentWriter.BeginDocument method with the Ltd document format, the toolkit will check if the output file specified exists on disk. If it does, the new pages will be appended to the end of the file. When you are finished adding all the pages use the DocumentWriter.Convert method to convert this temporary file to the desired output format.
