public static class DocumentFactory

Public NotInheritable Class DocumentFactory

public ref class DocumentFactory sealed abstract

public final class DocumentFactory

Remarks

The main class used for the LEADTOOLS Documents class library is Document. This class abstracts the internal implementation to provide unified properties and methods to access the internal document. Users can create a new document or load existing documents from disk file or a URL.

Documents cannot be created directly, instead, use the static DocumentFactory methods to obtain a Document instance as follows:

Member	Description
LoadFromFile	Loads a document from existing data stored in a disk file
LoadFromUri	Loads a document from existing data stored in a remote URL
LoadFromUriAsync	Loads a document asynchronously from an existing data stored in remote URL
LoadFromStream	Loads a document from existing data stored in a stream
RasterCodecsTemplate	Global template used when loading and saving raster and SVG images

When combined with ObjectCache provide the following extra functionality:

Member	Description
Cache	The global LEADTOOLS ObjectCache object responsible for managing cache items and expiration policies. The cache can be stored in this value (if the system requires the use of a single global cache) or a new instance is passed directly to the various uploading, loading and saving methods to use distinct or shared caches with each document.
Create	Creates a new empty document
LoadFromCache	Loads a previously saved document from the cache
DeleteFromCache	Deletes a document from the cache
BeginUpload, UploadDocument and AbortUploadDocument	Provides support for uploading a document to the cache system used by the factory
