## Output

`string Output([string name [, string dest]])`

#### Version

1.0

#### Description

Send the document to a given destination: string, local file or browser. In the last case, the plug-in may be used (if present) or a download ("Save as" dialog box) may be forced.
The method first calls Close() if necessary to terminate the document.

#### Parameters

`name`

> The name of the file. If not given, the document will be sent to the browser (destination `I`) with the name `doc.pdf`.

`dest`

> Destination where to send the document. It can take one of the following values:
> - `I`: send the file inline to the browser. The plug-in is used if available. The name given by `name` is used when one selects the "Save as" option on the link generating the PDF.
> - `D`: send to the browser and force a file download with the name given by `name`.
> - `F`: save to a local file with the name given by `name`.
> - `S`: return the document as a string. `name` is ignored.
> If the parameter is not specified but a name is given, destination is `F`. If no parameter is specified at all, destination is `I`.
> Note: for compatibility with previous versions, a boolean value is also accepted (`false` for `F` and `true` for `D`).
