File Size of the Current File

Hi Alex,
I am using Core Api and C#. I am creating a new document and adding some pages to it from another document until I get to a predefined file size.
Currently I have to do this by saving the file to the disk and then calling FileInfo.Length to get the file size.
Q. Is there a way that I can get the file size from within the IPXC_Document class?
Regards,
M

Hello mmasood,
Sadly, there is no direct method of doing that. The thing is that when we are saving the document, different compression methods are being used for streams etc, to reduce the output file size. Calculating this on the go will prove difficult, because of that.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Is this feature on the to do list for any near future releases? If no then I will have to try to find a way around this.

Hello mmasood,
To be sure, I will have to consult with one of our lead devs who is on vacation right now. He will be available from Monday though and then I can tell you more.
Cheers,
Alex

Were you able to get hold of the lead developer and get some information from him?

Hello mmasood,
Just double checked this one - this won't be implemented, because you can't calculate it on the go without saving.
Cheers,
Alex
