    Load PDF document with options

    GroupDocs.Conversion provides PdfLoadOptions to give you control over how the source PDF document will be processed. The following options could be set:

    • setFormat allows you to specify explicitly the type of the source document. Available options are: Pdf, Epub, Xps, Tex, Ps, Pcl.
    • setRemoveEmbeddedFiles whether to remove the embedded files from the source document during the conversion.
    • setPassword specifies a password to unlock the protected document.
    • setHidePdfAnnotations specifies that annotations in the source document should be hidden.
    • setFlattenAllFields specifies that all fields in the source document should be flattened during the conversion.
