# Export and save file with Web API

## Environment

<table>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Product</td>
			<td>Telerik WebForms ClientExportManager for ASP.NET AJAX</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

## Description

This sample demonstrates how you can use the **ClientExportManager** to export content to .PDF and save the file to a specified folder with Web API using an ExportController.

The sample contains two pages, the first one (**ExportOrgChart.aspx**) shows only export of a div containing a RadOrgChart, without saving the file to a specific folder. The second page (ExportSaveOrgChart.aspx) exports and saves the .PDF file to the "files" folder.

## Solution

This is made possible with the ExportController's `SaveFile()` method. First the data is encoded in the `onClientPdfExporting` handler and sent to the server with an AJAX request. The `SaveFile()` method then processes it and saves the file to the "files" folder appending a GUID to the filename. The routing is configured in the Global.asax file.
