Example

This example shows how to create document file from SVG-based pages using basic functionality of the DocumentWriter class. For an example on creating documents from EMF objects, refer to DocumentWriterEmfPage and for an example on creating mixed documents from SVG, EMF and empty pages, refer to DocumentWriterRasterPage.
