what advantages does PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow(dw) provide over using the datawindow saveas?

I see this is a new feature of the pdfdocument, but i am wondering why this was added since we already have the saveas(pdf) with the various export.pdf options in it.

Hi Mike S,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue.

what advantages does PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow(dw) provide over using the datawindow saveas?

Answer: The advantages are less user-written code (including pdf file names) and easier concept understanding. The inside of PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow() also uses datawindow.saveas (pdf).

 

Best Regards,

Peter
