GetOptions Method

Summary

Gets the extra options to use when saving a document using the specified format.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public DocumentOptions GetOptions( 
   DocumentFormat format 
)

- (LTDocumentOptions *)optionsForFormat:(LTDocumentFormat)format

public DocumentOptions getOptions(DocumentFormat format)

public: 
DocumentOptions^ GetOptions(  
   DocumentFormat format 
)

def GetOptions(self,format):

Parameters

format
The document format.

Return Value

The document options for this format. Note that the returned object from the base DocumentOptions class needs to be cast to one of the derived classes based on format.

Remarks

You cannot use the DocumentOptions class directly. Instead, use one of the derived classes to get and set the options associated with that document format. The following table lists the document formats and the DocumentOptions derived class associated with it:

Format (the value of format)	Class
DocumentFormat.Ltd	LtdDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Pdf	PdfDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Doc	DocDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Rtf	RtfDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Html	HtmlDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Text	TextDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Emf	EmfDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Xps	XpsDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Docx	DocxDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.Xls	XpsDocumentOptions
DocumentFormat.AltoXml	AltoXmlDocumentOptions

To change the options used with a particular format, perform the following steps:

Call the DocumentWriter.GetOptions method for the DocumentWriter object being used, passing the DocumentFormat to be used in the format parameter. The resulting object from the base DocumentOptions class needs to be cast to the appropriate derived class described in the previous table.
Use the various derived class properties to change the options.
Call DocumentWriter.SetOptions to set the new options in the engine.
Now you can call the DocumentWriter.BeginDocument method (with the desired DocumentFormat for the format parameter) to create a new document and add the pages.

   var codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.Options.RasterizeDocument.Load.Resolution = 300; 
 
   // Get the number of pages in the input document 
   var pageCount = codecs.GetTotalPages(inputFileName); 
 
   // Create a new instance of the LEADTOOLS Document Writer 
   var docWriter = new DocumentWriter(); 
 
   // Change the PDF options 
   var pdfOptions = docWriter.GetOptions(DocumentFormat.Pdf) as PdfDocumentOptions;
