Examples

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

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

for i in range(100):
    builder.writeln("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, " +
                    "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.")

# 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 "text_compression" property to "PdfTextCompression.NONE" to not apply any
# compression to text when we save the document to PDF.
# Set the "text_compression" 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(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "PdfSaveOptions.text_compression.pdf", options)
