Save a Document
Most of the tasks you need to perform with Aspose.Words involve saving a document. To save a document Aspose.Words provides the save method of the Document class. There are overloads that allow saving a document to a file or stream. The document can be saved in any save format supported by Aspose.Words. For the list of all supported save formats, see the SaveFormat enumeration.
Save a Document to a File
Simply use the save method with a file name. Aspose.Words will determine the save format from the file extension that you specify.
The following code example shows how to load and save a document to a file:
| # For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-words/Aspose.Words-for-Python-via-.NET | |
| doc = aw.Document(docs_base.my_dir + "Document.doc") | |
| doc.save(docs_base.artifacts_dir + "BaseConversions.doc_to_docx.docx") |
Save a Document to a Stream
Pass a stream object to the save method. It’s necessary to specify the save format explicitly when saving to a stream.
The following code example shows how to load and save a document to a stream:
| # For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-words/Aspose.Words-for-Python-via-.NET | |
| # Read only access is enough for Aspose.words to load a document. | |
| stream = io.FileIO(docs_base.my_dir + "Document.docx") | |
| doc = aw.Document(stream) | |
| # You can close the stream now, it is no longer needed because the document is in memory. | |
| stream.close() | |
| # ... do something with the document. | |
| # Convert the document to a different format and save to stream. | |
| dstStream = io.FileIO(docs_base.artifacts_dir + "BaseConversions.docx_to_rtf.rtf", "wb") | |
| doc.save(dstStream, aw.SaveFormat.RTF) | |
| dstStream.close() |
You can download the template file of this example from Aspose.Words GitHub.
Save a Document to PCL
Aspose.Words supports saving a document into PCL (Printer Command Language). Aspose.Words can save documents into PCL 6 (PCL 6 Enhanced or PCL XL) format. The PclSaveOptions class can be used to specify additional options when saving a document into the PCL format.
The following code example shows how to save a document to PCL using save options:
| # For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-words/Aspose.Words-for-Python-via-.NET | |
| doc = aw.Document(docs_base.my_dir + "Rendering.docx") | |
| saveOptions = aw.saving.PclSaveOptions() | |
| saveOptions.save_format = aw.SaveFormat.PCL | |
| saveOptions.rasterize_transformed_elements = False | |
| doc.save(docs_base.artifacts_dir + "WorkingWithPclSaveOptions.rasterize_transformed_elements.pcl", saveOptions) |
