Assembly:  RadPdf (in RadPdf.dll) Version: 3.48.0.0 (3.48.0.0)
Syntax
Copy
public int CreateDocument(
	string documentFileName,
	byte[] documentBinary,
	PdfDocumentSettings documentSettings,
	string documentPassword
)

Parameters

documentFileName
Type: SystemString
File name of PDF to be used when PDF is downloaded
documentBinary
Type: SystemByte
Binary data representing a PDF document
documentSettings
Type: RadPdf.Data.DocumentPdfDocumentSettings
Flags for this document to obey
documentPassword
Type: SystemString
Password to open this document, if encrypted

Return Value

Type: Int32
Document ID
Remarks

documentFileName does not need to be unique.

documentBinary should contain binary data representing a PDF file. If it instead contains a supported image type and ConvertImageToPdf is true, the image will automatically be converted to PDF and a new document created and loaded; otherwise if ConvertImageToPdf is false, an exception will be thrown if documentBinary does not contain a properly formatted PDF file.

If the specified documentPassword is wrong and ThrowPasswordException is false (default), the client-side user will be prompted for the password in the browser.

To specify the PDF password server-side only, set ThrowPasswordException to true before calling this method.
