Promise< string > | createSession (doc:PDFDoc)
| Create an collaboration session and returns a unique shareId. Collaboration sessions always be created when open a new PDF file and be closed after PDF file closed or the browser closed. In the server side, a session holds many client connections and collaboration data, the server should allow all clients to reuse the shareId, once all connections of the session are losted, collaboration data should be clear in the server.
