Notes

Use GetDocumentTypes to retrieve all defined document type IDs and names before calling this API.
Passing documentTypeID=0 clears the document type assignment.
The new document type may have a required property set — if the required properties are not yet filled in, publishing or other operations may be affected.

GetDocumentTypes - Retrieve all defined document type definitions
CreateDocumentTypeDef - Create a new document type definition
UpdateDocumentTypeDef - Rename an existing document type definition
GetDocument - Get document properties including the current document type
