)

public:
GdPictureStatus SaveAsHTML( 
   String^ OCRResultID,
   Stream^ Stream,
   bool KeepLineBreaks
)

Parameters

OCRResultID: A unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the RunOCR method. It specifies the OCR result you want to save.
Stream: A Stream object where the result will be saved to. This Stream object must be initialized before it can be sent into this method and it should remain open for subsequent use.
KeepLineBreaks: The flag indicating whether to keep line breaks or not when saving the result.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

The output stream should be open for writing and should be closed/disposed by the user as well.
