)

public:
GdPictureStatus SaveAsHTML( 
   ICollection<String^>^ OCRResultIDs,
   String^ FilePath,
   bool KeepLineBreaks
)

Parameters

OCRResultIDs: A collection of the unique OCR result identifiers. It specifies the OCR results you want to save.
FilePath: The path to the file where the result will be saved. If the specified file already exists, it will be overwritten.
KeepLineBreaks: The flag indicating whether to keep line breaks or not when saving the results.

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.
