save document to a location

Post by chavas »

Hi,

I am new to the PDF Editor control. How do I save a new document to a location and name which is defined in a string (filepath="C:\test.pdf") ?
PDFXcontrol.Doc.Save(filepath)

throws error. I am using VB.net and Visual Studio 2013

Thank you
Charu

Hello Charu,

Please take a look here:
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vie ... ument_Save
The Save method takes a bit more parameters than just the save path, and that's probably why you are getting the errors.

Regards,
Stefan

The thing is, that the IString or IAFS_Name should be used as destination parameters. You give string as the first parameter thus the error occur. You can use

Code: Select all

PDFXcontrol.Doc.CoreDoc.WriteToFile("C:\test.pdf")
if you want to pass the string parameter without any conversions.

HTH,
Alex
