Writing PDF to Files and Memory

Writing a PDF to file is achieved with the ToFile function. The arguments are the PDF, the filename and two booleans - the first is true if the file is to be linearized, the second if a new /ID is to be made for the file.
$\begin{framed} \noindent\textit{Writing a File}\\ \par \noindent\begin{tabular}... ...t linearized, but a new /ID is made - hence \texttt{false, true}.)} \end{framed}$

To write a file encrypted, use ToFileEncrypted.

$\begin{framed} \noindent\textit{Encryption Methods} \par \vspace{2mm} \noindent\... ...(false)!\\ \small\verb!Pdfwrite.encryption_method.AES128bit(true)! \end{framed}$
Here are the possible permissions:

$\begin{framed} \begin{tabular}{ll} \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textit{Using any form of ... ... \verb!Pdfcrypt.NoHqPrint! & Cannot print high-quality \end{tabular}\end{framed}$

So to write a file encypted, we pass the PDF object, an encryption method, an array of permissions, an owner password, user password, linearize flag and the filename.

$\begin{framed} \noindent\textit{Writing a File Encrypted}\\ \par \noindent\begi... ... !\>\textit{Output file}\\ \end{tabbing}\end{minipage}\end{tabular}\end{framed}$
