DOMDocument method
Returns the DOM Document object corresponding to an Arbortext document ID. The desired document must be open in Arbortext Editor or Arbortext Publishing Engine before calling this method, but the document does not need to be visible in a window. Developers can obtain the document identifier they need by using the Eval method to call an ACL function such as current_doc.
DOMDocument(docId )
Parameters
longdocId
The ACL document identifier of a document. If zero (0), the method uses the returned value of the ACL function current_doc.
Returns
Document. The DOM document object.
