Use this method to export the current document as PDF. The
supplied path is used as the destination. Any existing file will be
overwritten.
ABCpdf operates an intelligent just-in-time object loading
scheme, which ensures that only those objects that are required are
loaded into memory. This means that if you are modifying large
documents, then server load will be kept to a minimum. The original
PDF document must be available for as long as the Document object
is being used.
As a result, you cannot overwrite a PDF file while it is open
for reading. You will need to save your PDF to another location and
then swap the two files round.
If you need to obtain a PDF as raw data, you can use the
GetData method.
Versions. ABCpdf automatically determines the PDF version
depending on the features you use. If you use features from only
the 1.1 specification, it will write a 1.1 PDF. If you use 1.3
features, it will write a 1.3 PDF. If you use 1.4 features, it will
write a 1.4 PDF. Ditto 1.5 and 1.6.
If you're using a PDF template or drawing from another PDF, the
final output will be the minimum version used in these templates.
In many real world applications, this will be the factor which
determines the version in the final output produced by ABCpdf.
There is no advantage in producing a 1.6 document if you're not
using features from the 1.6 feature set. To do this will simply
stop users of older versions of Acrobat from accessing a document
which should be available to them.
