BinaryImage

This property returns a generated PDF document as a byte array.

Syntax

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 a PDF. The property is available only with PDF documents created in memory when GenerateInMemoryFile is VARIANT_TRUE. To use this property in the full version of the library, you must have an additional Web License.

Equivalent in new interface: IPDFDocument4::GetBuffer.
