Description
Saves the current PDF to a container value which you can assign to a container field.The plugin also renders a JPEG for preview and includes it (with DynaPDF Pro).
If you created PDF to a file path and not in memory, this method just returns OK after closing the file.
Before you call this function, you can call DynaPDF.OpenOutputFile or DynaPDF.OpenOutputFileEncrypted to open a destination file for the PDF.
See Plugin.SetPreviewSize to control size of preview picture.
If you have an open page, we close it automatically for you before doing the import.

Save PDF:
Set Field [ MyTable::ContainerField; MBS( "DynaPDF.Save"; $PDF; "report.pdf" ) ]
Save PDF without preview picture:
Set Field [ MyTable::ContainerField; MBS( "DynaPDF.Save"; $PDF; "report.pdf"; 0 ) ]
