Remarks

If the DeleteImageData method is invoked without parameters after an end user draws a selection rectangle, the area bounded by the selection rectangle is deleted. This method does not delete annotation data.

If the DeleteImageData method is invoked without parameters and without an end user drawing a selection rectangle, the DeleteImageData method generates an error.

After invoking the DeleteImageData method, the Save, SaveAs, or SavePage method must be invoked to save the altered image.

Invoking the DeleteImageData method sets the ImageModified property to True.
