A standard .NET Stream to save the options to.

Remarks

To load the options saved into a .NET stream the SaveOptions(Stream) method, use LoadOptions(Stream).

To load and save the options to an XML file on disk instead of a stream, use LoadOptions(string) and SaveOptions(string).

Saving the options to an XML file allows the options to be the required way once and then re-used in multiple sessions (or multiple DocumentWriter instances). Each document format supported by the LEADTOOLS Document Writer contain extra functionality and options that can be accessed with the GetOptions and SetOptions methods. For more information, refer to DocumentOptions.

The following options are saved to the XML:

using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Document.Writer; 
using Leadtools.Ocr; 
 
 
public void DocumentOptionsStreamExample() 
{ 
   // Use a memory stream to save the options to 
   using (var stream = new MemoryStream()) 
   { 
      // Create a new instance of the LEADTOOLS Document Writer 
      var docWriter1 = new DocumentWriter(); 
 
      // Show the default PDF and HTML options before 
      ShowMyOptions("Default options for docWriter1", docWriter1); 
 
      // Change the PDF options and HTML options 
      var pdfOptions = docWriter1.GetOptions(DocumentFormat.Pdf) as PdfDocumentOptions; 
      pdfOptions.DocumentType = PdfDocumentType.PdfA; 
      pdfOptions.ImageOverText = true;

      // Show the options again 
      ShowMyOptions("New options for docWriter1", docWriter1); 
 
      // Save these options to the stream 
      docWriter1.SaveOptions(stream); 
      // Reset the stream back to its original position 
      stream.Position = 0;

      // Load the options from the memory to this object 
      docWriter2.LoadOptions(stream); 
 
      // Show the options now, should be the saved ones
