Property Value

The PDFFile object must be associated with an existing PDF file on disk when performing any of the actions using the various methods of the class. You can also set the file name when creating the object using the PDFFile(string fileName) or PDFFile(string fileName, string password) constructors.

When you change the file name of a PDFFile object, all the previous data is invalidated and returned to the default values as follows:

• DocumentProperties will be set to null (Nothing in Visual Basic)

• Pages collection will be set to null (Nothing in Visual Basic)

Some PDF files are encrypted and require a password before they can be used. For these kind of files, you must set the Password property to the correct value before using the other properties and methods of the object. Use IsEncrypted to determine if the PDF file is encrypted and requires a password.

After you set the file name and optional password, you can call the Load method to populate the DocumentProperties and Pages properties of this PDFFile object with the correct values read from the file.

In certain situation, you may want to associate a PDFFile with a Postscript and not a PDF file, for example, to create a PDFFile object and call its Distill method to convert the Postscript file to PDF.

For an example, refer to PDFFile.
