F_ApiSave() saves douments as view only

[user343489349]

I am changing the color definitions programmatically using F_ApiSimpleImportFormats method and after that if i try to save the document using F_ApiSave, it saves the document in ViewOnly mode. What can be done to save document in editable mode only?

I am using FrameMaker 2019 edition.

Have you tried specifying FrameMaker binary as the save format?

// saveDoc()
//
F_ObjHandleT saveDoc(F_ObjHandleT doc, StringT path) {

    IntT i = 0;
    F_PropValsT saveScript, *pReturnedProps = NULL;

    saveScript = F_ApiGetSaveDefaultParams();
    i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&saveScript, FS_FileType);
    saveScript.val[i].propVal.u.ival = FV_SaveFmtBinary;

    doc = F_ApiSave(doc, path, &saveScript, &pReturnedProps);

    F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(&saveScript);
    F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(pReturnedProps);

    return(doc);
}

Yes i specified FV_SaveFmtBinary as FileType but still it saves as Viewonly document, I tried to experiment with many other parameters but i could not find anything which solves the problem.

How about setting this property to False before saving it:

FP_DocIsViewOnly

Oh Finally it worked Thank you so much Sir!  I was setting this to false after calling save method, that's why it was not working.
