GdPicture.NET.14
GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPictureDocumentConverter Class / SaveAsSVG Method / SaveAsSVG(Stream) Method
A stream object where the current document is saved to as a SVG image. This output stream must be initialized before it can be sent into this method and it should stay open for subsequent use.

If the output stream is not opened for both reading and writing, the method will fail returning the GdPictureStatus.InvalidParameter status.

Parameters

Stream
A stream object where the current document is saved to as a SVG image. This output stream must be initialized before it can be sent into this method and it should stay open for subsequent use.

If the output stream is not opened for both reading and writing, the method will fail returning the GdPictureStatus.InvalidParameter status.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.
Remarks
Keep noted that the output stream should be open for both reading and writing and should be closed/disposed by the user as well.

The currently selected page remains selected after saving.

In the process of converting to SVG, we do preserve vector content as much as possible. For example, paths and text will be converted to corresponding paths, considering the other parameters provided.

This method requires the Image Conversion component to run.

Example
Converting and saving a PDF document to a SVG image file using a stream.
Using gdpictureDocumentConverter As New GdPictureDocumentConverter()
    Dim status As GdPictureStatus = gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("drawing.pdf", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatPDF)
    If status = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
        Dim oFileStream As New System.IO.FileStream("drawing_stream.svg", System.IO.FileMode.Create)
        status = gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsSVG(oFileStream)
        If status = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
            MessageBox.Show("The file has been saved successfully.", "GdPicture")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("The file has failed to save. Status: " + status.ToString(), "GdPicture")
        End If
        oFileStream.Dispose()
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("The file has failed to load. Status: " + status.ToString(), "GdPicture")
    End If
End Using
using (GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter())
{
    GdPictureStatus status = gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("drawing.pdf", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatPDF);
    if (status == GdPictureStatus.OK)
    {
        System.IO.FileStream oFileStream = new System.IO.FileStream("drawing_stream.svg");
        status = gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsSVG(oFileStream);
        if (status == GdPictureStatus.OK)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("The file has been saved successfully.", "GdPicture");
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("The file has failed to save. Status: " + status.ToString(), "GdPicture");
        }
        oFileStream.Dispose();
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The file has failed to load. Status: " + status.ToString(), "GdPicture");
    }
