StartDoc Method

Starts document generation in sequential mode.

In this mode, the content of the document is written directly into the underlying stream as soon as it is created, without the use of temporary files. When all content has been added, call EndDoc to finish creating the document.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Sub StartDoc( _
   ByVal stream As System.IO.Stream _
)

public void StartDoc( 
   System.IO.Stream stream
)

Parameters

stream: The stream to which the PDF document will be written.

Remarks

Sequential mode may provide better performance, but it does not allow to modify the already created pages (which is possible when StartDoc is not called, and the document is saved by Save(Stream,Boolean) or Save(String,Boolean) after all content has been added instead.)
