PdfOptions

PdfOptions carries the per-request output-format and cleanup preferences attached to every PdfRequest. Its CleanupInputFile flag (default true when Options is null) determines whether Validate a document deletes the source file from disk before signature validation. (BR-07)

Purpose

• Configures the requested output format (OutputFormat) and whether the on-disk source file should be removed after processing (CleanupInputFile). (BR-07)
• Signals whether the output should be prevented from transferring (PreventOutputFileTransfer).

Context

• Namespace: PdfAPI.Core
• Assembly/package: PdfAPI.Core

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
IsPdfa	bool IsPdfa { get; }	Indicates whether the configured OutputFormat is PDF/A.
OutputFormat	PdfFormat OutputFormat { get; set; }	The requested output document format.
PreventOutputFileTransfer	bool PreventOutputFileTransfer { get; set; }	Whether the output file should be prevented from being transferred onward.
CleanupInputFile	bool CleanupInputFile { get; set; }	Whether the source file should be deleted from disk after (or before) validation. (BR-07)
PdfOptions() (3 overloads)	Three public constructors	Construct options with differing combinations of default and explicit values.

Behavioral notes

• IsPdfa is computed from OutputFormat rather than stored independently.*
• When Options is null on a Document/request, Validate a document treats cleanup as enabled by default. (BR-07)

Constraints and usage notes

• Set OutputFormat to PdfA to make IsPdfa return true; there is no independent setter.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
