'Declaration

 

Public Function GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( _

   ByVal FileIdx As Integer _

) As String
public string GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( 

   int FileIdx

)
public function GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( 

    FileIdx: Integer

): String; 
public function GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( 

   FileIdx : int

) : String;
public: string* GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( 

   int FileIdx

) 
public:

String^ GetEmbeddedFileCreationDate( 

   int FileIdx

) 

Parameters

FileIdx
The 0-based index of the embedded file. It must be a value from 0 to GetEmbeddedFileCount-1.

Return Value

The creation date of the embedded file. It is the date when you have embedded this file into the PDF document (you have created this attachment).

The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.
