- // Shows how to create a large document using less memory.
- //
- // DsPdf provides two approaches to creating a PDF file:
- // - The usually more convenient approach: you build the document completely first,
- // adding text, graphics and other elements. Then you call Save() on the document
- // passing the name of the file, or the stream to save to. This approach allows
- // to modify the already created content - e.g. you can insert pages anywhere
- // in the document, or modify the already added pages.
- // - The StartDoc/EndDoc method: with this approach, you provide the stream
- // to save to at the very beginning, before adding any content to the document,
- // by calling the StartDoc() method on the document. All content is then written
- // directly to that stream, and you cannot go back and update the already created pages.
- // To complete the document you call the EndDoc() method. If you try to perform an
- // action that is not allowed, an exception will be thrown. While this approach is
- // somewhat limiting (e.g. Linearized cannot be set to true in this mode), it uses
- // less memory and may be preferable especially when creating very large documents.
- //
- // This sample demonstrates the StartDoc/EndDoc approach.
- //
- // Essentially the same code, but without using StartDoc/EndDoc, is demonstrated by the
- // LargeDocument2 sample. See also LinearizedPdf.
