Write an XPS OM to an XPS Document

  • Article

Describes how to write the contents of an XPS OM in a program to an XPS document file.

If a program has an XPS OM that contains a complete document, the program can write the XPS OM to a file as an XPS document, by calling the WriteToFile method of the IXpsOMPackage interface.

Before using these code examples in a program, read the disclaimer in Common XPS Document Programming Tasks.

Writing a complete XPS OM to an XPS document

After you set the contents of an XPS OM, you can save the XPS OM to a file as an XPS document, by calling the WriteToFile method of the IXpsOMPackage interface.

    HRESULT hr = S_OK;

    hr = xpsPackage->WriteToFile(
        fileName,
        NULL,                    // LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
        FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
        FALSE                    // Optimize Markup Size
        );

Note  Writing an XPS OM to a file or stream does not automatically create a thumbnail for the XPS document. To create a thumbnail of the XPS document, use the IXpsOMThumbnailGenerator interface.

 

Incrementally writing an XPS document

The IXpsOMPackageWriter interface can be used to write the parts of an XPS document incrementally; for example, when the document parts are created or processed in sequence.

Note  Writing an XPS OM to a file or stream does not automatically create a thumbnail for the XPS document. To create a thumbnail of the XPS document, use the IXpsOMThumbnailGenerator interface.
