Methods

Method	Description
AddLogEntry	This method adds an entry to the HotDocs Server log file. Although this method is frequently used for error messages, you could use it to record any kind of information in the HotDocs Server log file. For example, you could add a log entry when a user first logs on to your host application.
BuildServerFiles	This method creates the files required by HotDocs Server to display an interview for a template.
CheckFileAccess	Determine whether a file can be accessed by HotDocsServer.exe.
ConvertFile	This method converts a document from one file type to another. For example, you can use it to convert an .RTF or .DOCX file to .HTML or .PDF.
ConvertRTFFile	This method converts an RTF document to a PDF, HTML, or TXT document. This method was deprecated in HotDocs Server 11. Its functionality is now available in UtilityTools.ConvertFile.
CreateTempDirectory	This method creates a folder on disk using a unique ID where you can save temporary files.
DecryptString	This method decrypts a string.
DeleteTempDirectory	This method deletes the files in a temporary folder identified by a unique ID.

GetTempDirectoryPath	This method returns the path to a temporary folder identified by a unique ID.
GetTempFilePath	This method generates a random file name using the specified extension, and returns the full path to that file in the folder indicated.
