SaveToFile Method

Summary

Exports this document to the specified file using the specified format.

Syntax

C++

Java

public void SaveToFile( 
   string fileName, 
   SaveDocumentOptions options 
)

Public Sub SaveToFile( 
   ByVal fileName As String, 
   ByVal options As SaveDocumentOptions 
)

public:  
   void SaveToFile( 
      String^ fileName, 
      SaveDocumentOptions^ options 
   )

public void saveToFile(String fileName, SaveDocumentOptions options)

Parameters

fileName

Target file name. This cannot be null.

options

Options to use when saving the document. If this is null, then the document will be saved

using default options.

Remarks

Use SaveToFile or SaveToUri to export this document to an external file or remote URL.

These methods support saving the document to a raster image format, not a document. In most cases, converting a document should be performed with more options and control using the DocumentConverter class.

The document will be saved with the latest changed if it has been modified, for example, if the original file has 4 pages and the user deleted page number 1, then the saved file will contain 3 pages. Similarly, if the user called SetImage to replace the raster image for any of the pages, then the saved file will contain the new version for this page.

SaveDocumentOptions is used as follows:

Member	Description
Format	Any of the LEADTOOLS supported RasterImageFormat values can be used. If this value is the default (RasterImageFormat.Unknown), then this document will be saved using the format of the original document.
BitsPerPixel	Bits per pixel value to use. Use 0 for the default value supported by Format.
AnnotationsUri	If not null, then it should contain the path to where the annotations file will be saved.
WebClient	The .NET System.Net.WebClient object to use when uploading the data to the remote URL. Only used with SaveToUri.
