PdfDocumentProcessor.SaveDocument(Stream) Method

Saves the current document to the specified file stream.

Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SaveDocument(
    Stream stream
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SaveDocument(
    stream As Stream
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream value, specifying the location of the saved document.

Remarks

When you dispose of an output stream that has not been detached, an attempt to apply further changes to a document may cause errors. If you want to close the stream when a document is saved, call the SaveDocument method overload with the detachStream parameter enabled.

Important

If you load and save a document to the same stream, it may lead to unexpected results. Use the PdfDocumentProcessor.SaveDocument(Stream, PdfSaveOptions, Boolean) method overload for safer results.
