Application.SaveDocAsPDF Method

This method converts a document file to a PDF file using HotDocs PDF Advantage. The conversion is done automatically, so no user intervention is necessary, although some user interface may be displayed.

This method was introduced with the release of HotDocs 6.1 SP1.

If HotDocs PDF Advantage is not installed, this method will return an error.
