| VARIANT BinaryImage { get; } |
Value
Array of bytes representing the PDF document.
Remarks
BinaryImage returns a generated PDF file as a byte array and can be used within functions for streaming output to PDF. The property is available only with PDF documents created in memory when GenerateInMemoryFile is TRUE. To use this property in the full version of the library, you must have an additional Web License.

How to create a PDF document and return the data in the web application with the Response abstract class
Delphi
[copy to clipboard]
{ PDF object is supposed to be created }
PDF.StartEngine('demo', 'demo');
PDF.GenerateInMemoryFile := true;
PDF.BeginDoc;
{ some operations here... }
PDF.EndDoc;
Response.Clear;
Response.ContentType := 'application/pdf';
Response.AddHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
Response.AddHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline;filename=form.pdf');
Response.AddHeader('Content-Length', PDF.MemoryFileSize);
Response.BinaryWrite(PDF.BinaryImage);
Response.End;
