Deletes an object previously added to the document.

Doc.Delete ID

Use this method to delete an object previously added to the document.

For efficiency reasons deleted objects are not immediately erased. Instead they are flagged as inactive and any resources associated with them are freed. You can determine if an object is inactive by using the GetInfo function.

When the document is saved only active objects are exported.

The following code snippet illustrates how one might add an image and then delete it if the image color space is CMYK.

Set theDoc = Server.CreateObject("ABCpdf3.Doc")
theID1 = theDoc.AddImage("c:\mypic.jpg")
theID2 = theDoc.GetInfo(theID1, "XObject")
theComps = theDoc.GetInfo(theID2, "Components")
If theComps = 4 Then theDoc.Delete(theID1)
theDoc.Save "c:\docdelete.pdf"
