Remarks
The AppendDocumentContent method imports the specified file into the internal document model. If the format parameter is set to DocumentFormat.Undefined, the importer attempts to auto detect the format of the specified file. The sourceUri parameter is passed to the importer, to allow the importer to use it when required. If the HTML-specific importer is created, the sourceUri is used to find pictures and other external content, such as .css files.
If the format auto detect fails, a fallback format is used. Currently the fallback format is plain text.
After the file is successfully imported, the new document model is inserted at the end of the main document.
Specify the insertOptions parameter to define how formatting is applied to the formatted text inserted into a document. Refer to the InsertOptions enumeration description for information on how formatting is applied to the pasted document elements depending on the property value.
The appended text starts with a new paragraph and preserves formatting. It is appended to an existing section and gets all section details (header, footer, page and print layout).
If the text being inserted contains document styles which are not present in the current document, the styles are copied to the resulting document.
If the document whose content is being inserted contains floating objects, such as pictures or text boxes, they are inserted into the corresponding positions in a newly created range.
