GDataDocumentsDocument implements GDataAccessHandler.

## Description

GDataDocumentsDocument is an abstract subclass of GDataDocumentsEntry to represent a Google Documents document. It is subclassed by GDataDocumentsPresentation, GDataDocumentsText and GDataDocumentsSpreadsheet, which are instantiable.

For more details of Google Documents' GData API, see the online documentation.

Each document accessible through the service has an access control list (ACL) which defines the level of access to the document to each user, and which users the document is shared with. For more information about ACLs for documents, see the online documentation on sharing documents.

### GDataDocumentsDocument

    typedef struct _GDataDocumentsDocument GDataDocumentsDocument;

All the fields in the GDataDocumentsDocument structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

Since 0.7.0

All the fields in the GDataDocumentsDocumentClass structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

### gdata_documents_document_download ()

    GDataDownloadStream * gdata_documents_document_download (GDataDocumentsDocument *self,
                                                             GDataDocumentsService *service,
                                                             const gchar *export_format,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Downloads and returns the document file represented by the GDataDocumentsDocument. If the document doesn't exist, `NULL` is returned, but no error is set in `error`.

`export_format` should be the file extension of the desired output format for the document, from the list accepted by Google Documents. For example: `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_PRESENTATION_PDF`, `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_SPREADSHEET_ODS` or `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_TEXT_ODT`.

If `self` is a GDataDocumentsSpreadsheet, only the first grid, or sheet, in the spreadsheet will be downloaded for some export formats. To download a specific a specific grid, use `gdata_documents_spreadsheet_get_download_uri()` with GDataDownloadStream to download the grid manually. See the GData protocol specification for more information.

To get the content type of the downloaded file, `gdata_download_stream_get_content_type()` can be called on the returned GDataDownloadStream. Calling `gdata_download_stream_get_content_length()` on the stream will not return a meaningful result, however, as the stream is encoded in chunks, rather than by content length.

In order to cancel the download, a GCancellable passed in to `cancellable` must be cancelled using `g_cancellable_cancel()`. Cancelling the individual GInputStream operations on the GDataDownloadStream will not cancel the entire download; merely the read or close operation in question. See the "cancellable" for more details.

If `service` isn't authenticated, a `GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED` will be returned.

If there is an error getting the document, a `GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error will be returned.

`self` : | a GDataDocumentsDocument
`service` : | a GDataDocumentsService
`export_format` : | the format in which the document should be exported
`cancellable` : | a GCancellable for the entire download stream, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`error` : | a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | a GDataDownloadStream to download the document with, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`. [transfer full]

Since 0.8.0

### gdata_documents_document_get_download_uri ()

    gchar *             gdata_documents_document_get_download_uri
                                                            (GDataDocumentsDocument *self,
                                                             const gchar *export_format);

Builds and returns the download URI for the given GDataDocumentsDocument in the desired format. Note that directly downloading the document using this URI isn't possible, as authentication is required. You should instead use `gdata_download_stream_new()` with the URI, and use the resulting GInputStream.

`export_format` should be the file extension of the desired output format for the document, from the list accepted by Google Documents. For example: `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_PRESENTATION_PDF`, `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_SPREADSHEET_ODS` or `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_TEXT_ODT`.

`self` : | a GDataDocumentsDocument
`export_format` : | the format in which the document should be exported when downloaded
Returns : | the download URI; free with `g_free()`

Since 0.7.0
