# SaveToFile Method

<Note>
  This is a common method. Any platform-specific implementation limitations will be listed in the topics for the objects using this method.
</Note>

This method saves the object contents into a file on disk.

## Syntax

### C++

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT SaveToFile( BSTR Path );
```

### C\#

```csharp theme={null}
void SaveToFile( string Path );
```

### Visual Basic .NET

```vb theme={null}
Sub SaveToFile( Path As String )
```

## Parameters

Path

\[in] This parameter of the type [BSTR](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/advanced-techniques/programming-aspects/working-with-properties) specifies the path to the file where the object contents should be saved. If a file with this name already exists, it is overwritten without prompt.

## Return values

This method has no specific return values. It returns the [standard return values of ABBYY FineReader Engine functions](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/return-codes).

## Remarks

Note that in the case when an object data is read by a [functionally limited](/fine-reader/engine/licensing/modules) ABBYY FineReader Engine version, while it was saved by a version with a wider functional set, object properties that cannot be changed in the limited version, are restored to default values.
