TdxRichEditCustomDocumentServer.SaveDocument(string,TdxRichEditDocumentFormat) Method

Exports document content to a file (in any supported format).

Declaration

procedure SaveDocument(const AFileName: string; ADocumentFormat: TdxRichEditDocumentFormat); overload;

Parameters

Name Type Description
AFileName string

An absolute or relative path to the target file.

ADocumentFormat TdxRichEditDocumentFormat

The target document format.

Remarks

Call the SaveDocument procedure to export the current document to a file in any supported format.

Available Export Formats

The SaveDocument procedure accepts the required export format as the ADocumentFormat parameter. If you pass TdxRichEditDocumentFormat.Undefined as the parameter, the Options.DocumentSaveOptions.DefaultFormat or Options.DocumentSaveOptions.CurrentFormat property defines the target document format for a new or existing file, respectively.

Export Format Support

Support for all document formats, except for plain text, is initially disabled for the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component to avoid excessive dependencies. To enable support for available formats, add all required dependencies at design time or in code:

Extension Document Format Format Value Import/Export Settings Support / Required Dependencies
TXT/txt Plain Text PlainText Options.Import.PlainText/Options.Export.PlainText Built-in Support
RTF/rtf Rich Text Format Rtf Options.Import.Rtf/Options.Export.Rtf dxRichEdit.Rtf
DOC/doc Microsoft Word® 97 – 2003 Doc Options.Import.Doc/Options.Export.Doc dxRichEdit.Doc
HTML/html Hypertext Markup Language Html Options.Import.Html/Options.Export.Html dxRichEdit.Html
DOCX/docx Office OpenXML OpenXml Options.Import.OpenXml/Options.Export.OpenXml dxRichEdit.OpenXML

At design time, you can right-click the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component, expand the Add Unit to Support menu item, and add all required dependencies.
