SaveDocumentToPDF(String) Method
Saves the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object to a file in PDF format according to a file path you have specified. The document is saved with full GdPicture/XMP annotation support.
Please consider using the AnnotationManager.BurnAnnotationsToPage method before saving, if you expect, that your annotations will be included in the document content, for example for printing or to disable their editing.
The AnnotationManager.SavingProgress event is raised after each successfully saved page, when processing the image-based documents, in other words if you are saving the multi-page TIFF file to PDF document.
