Syntax
C#
VB
C++
Java
public static LEADDocument Create( 
   CreateDocumentOptions options 
) 
Public Shared Function Create( 
   ByVal options As CreateDocumentOptions 
) As LEADDocument 
public:  
   static LEADDocument^ Create( 
      CreateDocumentOptions^ options 
   ) 
public static Document create(CreateDocumentOptions options)

Parameters

options

Options to use when creating the document. Cannot be null.

Return Value

The newly created document.

Remarks

Creates a new empty virtual document ready to be filled with pages from other documents.

This method will add items with the key "Created", "Accessed" and "Modified" to Metadata with values equal to the current date and time. The newly created LEADDocument object will have an empty list of Pages. It can then be populated by the user.

The member of options are used as follows:

Member Description
Cache and UseCache Used to determine if the newly created document will be saved into the cache later.
CachePolicy
 If caching is used: Copied to the newly created document and is used to determine when the document and its item are purged from the cache.
MimeType
 Copied as is into the newly created document MimeType member. This value can be null but it is recommend you set it to the MIME type of the document since it will be used when saving the document. Use one of the MIME types constants defined in the Constants class. In the case of virtual documents, this value can be left as null.
