PdfDocumentProcessor.CreateEmptyDocument() Method
Creates an empty PDF document with no pages.
Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf
Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor
#Declaration
#Remarks
Use this method to create an empty document. You can use the document creation API to generate the document layout (e.g., append pages with graphics to the PDF document, generate bookmarks, and attach files) Refer to the following article for more information: Document Generation.
Note
The PDF specification does not describe empty documents. For this reason, most third-party PDF viewers cannot open such files. This does not apply to the DevExpress Win
#Example
using DevExpress.Pdf;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
// Create an empty document.
processor.CreateEmptyDocument("..\\..\\Result.pdf");
// Create and draw PDF graphics.
using (PdfGraphics graph = processor.CreateGraphics())

// Draw text lines on the page.
SolidBrush black = (SolidBrush)Brushes.Black;
