Examples

Shows how to apply text compression when saving a document to PDF.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
i = 0
while i < 100:
    builder.writeln('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, ' + 'sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.')
    i += 1
# Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
# to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()
# Set the "TextCompression" property to "PdfTextCompression.None" to not apply any
# compression to text when we save the document to PDF.
# Set the "TextCompression" property to "PdfTextCompression.Flate" to apply ZIP compression
# to text when we save the document to PDF. The larger the document, the bigger the impact that this will have.
options.text_compression = pdf_text_compression
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PdfSaveOptions.TextCompression.pdf', save_options=options)
