# COS Layer > COS Layer: 12 components, 137 items. - Product: Adobe PDF Library 18 - Language: C++ - Version: APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a - HTML page: https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer - Version index: https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/llms.txt ## CosArray ### Functions (9) #### CosArrayGet ```cpp CosObj CosArrayGet(CosObj array, ASTArraySize index) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:791` Gets the specified element from an array. **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) - `index` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)) **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) #### CosArrayInsert ```cpp void CosArrayInsert(CosObj array, ASTArraySize pos, CosObj obj) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:844` Inserts an object into an array. An exception is raised if the object to insert is a direct object that is already contained in another object, or if the object to insert belongs to another document. It is not safe to call CosArrayInsert() during a call to CosObjEnum() on that same array (for example, from within the callback procedure). **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The array into which the object is inserted. - `pos` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)): The location in the array to insert the object. The object is inserted before the specified location. The first element in an array has a pos of zero. If pos >= CosArrayLength(array) , obj is added at the end of the array. The length of the array always increases by 1 . - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The object to insert. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosArrayLength`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayLength), [`CosArrayRemove`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayRemove), [`CosArrayGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayGet) #### CosArrayIsWeakReference ```cpp ASBool CosArrayIsWeakReference(CosObj array, ASInt32 n) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2110` Return the state of a weak reference in an array. See CosDictIsWeakReference() for details. **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): An array. - `n` ([`ASInt32`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASInt32)): The index of an item in the array. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) Returns the value of the isWeak parameter in the most recent call to CosArraySetWeakReference() with these parameters, or false if there has been no such call. #### CosArrayLength ```cpp ASTArraySize CosArrayLength(CosObj array) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:874` Gets the number of elements in array . **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): IN/OUT The array for which the number of elements is determined. **Returns:** [`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize) The number of elements in array . #### CosArrayPut ```cpp void CosArrayPut(CosObj array, ASTArraySize index, CosObj obj) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:818` Puts the specified object into the specified location in an array. The array is extended as much as necessary and NULL objects are stored in empty slots. It sets the PDDocNeedsSave flag (see PDDocSetFlags ) flag of the array object's CosDoc if array is indirect or is a direct object with an indirect composite object at the root of its container chain. It is not safe to call CosArrayPut() during a call to CosObjEnum() on that same array (for example, from within the callback procedure), if doing so would extend the length of the array. An exception is raised if the object to insert is a direct object that is already contained in another object, or if the object to insert belongs to another document. **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The array in which obj is stored. - `index` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)): The location in array to store obj .

CosObjEqual() is used to determine whether an array element is equal to the specified object. The array is compressed after removing the element. The compression is accomplished by moving each element following the deleted element to the slot with the next smaller index and decrementing the array's length by 1 . It is not safe to call CosArrayRemove() during a call to CosObjEnum() on that same dictionary (for example, from within the callback procedure). **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The array from which obj is removed. - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The object to remove. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosArrayInsert`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayInsert) #### CosArrayRemoveNth ```cpp void CosArrayRemoveNth(CosObj array, ASTArraySize pos) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1344` Checks whether the position is within the array bounds, removes it from the array, moves each subsequent element to the slot with the next smaller index, and decrements the array's length by `1`. It sets the `dirty` flag of the array object's CosDoc . **Parameters** - `array` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): IN/OUT The CosArray from which to remove the member. - `pos` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)): IN/OUT The index for the array member to remove. Array indices start at 0 . **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosArrayRemove`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayRemove) #### CosArraySetWeakReference ```cpp void CosArraySetWeakReference(CosObj array, ASInt32 n, ASBool isWeak) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2099` Establishes or removes a weak reference from an array.

This is part of the Crypt Filter mechanism. ## CosDict ### Functions (15) #### CosDictGet ```cpp CosObj CosDictGet(CosObj dict, ASAtom key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:633` Gets the value of the specified key in the specified dictionary. If it is called with a stream object instead of a dictionary object, this method gets the value of the specified key from the stream's attributes dictionary. Key Names: Even though key names in a PDF file are written with a leading slash (e.g., `<>`), the slash is omitted when creating an `ASAtom` to be used as a key, or when using the string directly as a key, as in the examples above. Cos name objects can also be used as keys, by calling `CosDictGetKey()`. This method will also avoid the creation of new `ASAtom` objects and is often more convenient than using `ASAtom` objects or strings. **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) - `key` ([`ASAtom`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASAtom)) **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) #### CosDictGetKey ```cpp CosObj CosDictGetKey(CosObj dict, CosObj key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1917` Gets the value of the specified key in the specified dictionary. For more details, see CosDictGet() . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary or stream from which a value is obtained. - `key` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The key whose value is obtained, represented as a Cos name object. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The object associated with the specified key. If key is not present, it returns a NULL Cos object. **See also:** [`CosDictGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGet), [`CosDictGetKeyString`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGetKeyString) #### CosDictGetKeyString ```cpp CosObj CosDictGetKeyString(CosObj dict, const char *key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1981` Gets the value of the specified key in the specified dictionary. For more details, see CosDictGet() . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary or stream from which a value is obtained. - `key` (`const char *`): The key whose value is obtained, represented as a string. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The object associated with the specified key. If key is not present, returns a NULL Cos object. **See also:** [`CosDictGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGet), [`CosDictGetKey`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGetKey) #### CosDictIsWeakReference ```cpp ASBool CosDictIsWeakReference(CosObj dict, const char *key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2084` Gets the state of a weak reference. For details, see CosDictSetWeakReference() . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): A dictionary. - `key` (`const char *`): The name of a key. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) Returns the value of the isWeak parameter in the most recent call to CosDictSetWeakReference() with these parameters, or false if there has been no such call. #### CosDictKnown ```cpp ASBool CosDictKnown(CosObj dict, ASAtom key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:775` Tests whether a specific key is found in the specified dictionary. Calling this method is equivalent to checking if the value returned from CosDictGet() is a NULL Cos object. If it is called with a stream object instead of a dictionary object, this method tests whether the specified key is found in the stream's attributes dictionary. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). Here you will find the names of keys in dictionary objects that are part of standard PDF, such as annotations or page objects (see CosDictGet() for Key Names ). Note that strings can be used directly as keys, by calling CosDictKnownKeyString() (for example, CosDictKnownKeyString(dict, "Length") ). This method is preferred, because it avoids the creation of new ASAtom objects. Cos name objects can also be used as keys, by calling CosDictKnownKey() . This method will also avoid the creation of new ASAtom objects and is often more convenient than using ASAtom objects or strings. **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary or stream in which to look for key . - `key` ([`ASAtom`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASAtom)): The key to find.

Sets the `PDDocNeedsSave` flag (see `PDDocSetFlags`) of the `dict` object's `CosDoc` if `dict` is indirect or is a direct object with an indirect composite object at the root of its container chain. This method can also be used with a stream object. In that case, the key-value pair is added to the stream's attributes dictionary. It is not safe to call `CosDictPut()` during a call to `CosObjEnum()` on that same dictionary (for example, from within the callback procedure). An exception is raised if `val` is a direct non-scalar object that is already contained in another dictionary, array, or stream, or if dict and val belong to different documents. **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) - `key` ([`ASAtom`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASAtom)) - `val` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) **Returns:** `void` #### CosDictPutKey ```cpp void CosDictPutKey(CosObj dict, CosObj key, CosObj val) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1955` Sets the value of a dictionary key, adding the key to the dictionary if it is not already present.

Sets the PDDocNeedsSave flag (see PDDocSetFlags ) of the dict object's CosDoc if the dictionary is indirect or has an indirect composite object at the root of its container chain. If it is called with a stream object instead of a dictionary object, this method removes the value of the specified key from the stream's attributes dictionary. It is not safe to call CosDictRemove() during a call to CosObjEnum() on that same dictionary (for example, from within the callback procedure). If the key is not present in the dictionary, CosDictRemove() has no effect. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). Here you will find the names of keys in dictionary objects that are part of standard PDF, such as annotations or page objects (see CosDictGet() for Key Names ). Note that strings can be used directly as keys, by calling CosDictRemoveString() (for example, CosDictRemoveString(dict, "Length") ). This method is preferred, because it avoids the creation of new ASAtom objects. Cos name objects can also be used as keys, by calling CosDictRemoveKey() . This method will also avoid the creation of new ASAtom objects and is often more convenient than using ASAtom objects or strings. **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary from which the key-value pair is removed. - `key` ([`ASAtom`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASAtom)): The key to remove, represented as an ASAtom.

For more details, see CosDictRemove() . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary from which the key-value pair is removed. - `key` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The key to remove, represented as a Cos name object. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosDictRemove`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictRemove), [`CosDictRemoveKeyString`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictRemoveKeyString) #### CosDictRemoveKeyString ```cpp void CosDictRemoveKeyString(CosObj dict, const char *key) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2030` Removes a key-value pair from a dictionary. For more details, see CosDictRemove() . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary from which the key-value pair is removed. - `key` (`const char *`): The key to remove, represented as a string. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosDictRemove`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictRemove), [`CosDictRemoveKey`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictRemoveKey) #### CosDictSetWeakReference ```cpp void CosDictSetWeakReference(CosObj dict, const char *key, ASBool isWeak) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2073` Weak and strong references. When a Cos document is saved in full-save mode, objects that are not accessible from the root of the document are destroyed. This process uses a mark-and-sweep garbage collector: the root is marked, and then every object to which it refers is marked, and so on. At the end of this marking phase, objects that are not marked are destroyed. A so-called weak reference changes this policy: during the marking phase, a reference that has been declared to be weak will not be marked. For example, when a dictionary is marked, all its keys and values are normally also marked. But if a certain key has been set as a weak reference, then the corresponding value will not be marked. Consequently, if there are no other references to that value, it will be destroyed. A so-called strong reference also changes this policy, but in the opposite direction. An object for which there is a strong reference will be marked (and therefore will not be garbage-collected), even if there is no path to the object from the root of the document, and even if a weak reference exists for it. CosDictSetWeakReference() establishes or removes a weak reference from a dictionary. It is not an error if there is no such value at the time of garbage collection or at the time of the call to this function. If isWeak is false (the default condition), then there is no such behavior, and the value, if any, will be marked in the normal manner. The case where isWeak is specified as false is intended primarily to reverse the effect of a previous call in which isWeak was true . **Parameters** - `dict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The dictionary containing the weak reference. - `key` (`const char *`): The name of a key in the dictionary. - `isWeak` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): If true , the object stored in dict under key at the time of every subsequent full-save garbage collection will not be marked as a component of the dictionary. If there is no other path to that object from the root of the document, then it will be garbage- collected (destroyed) by garbage collection. **Returns:** `void` #### CosNewDict ```cpp CosObj CosNewDict(CosDoc dP, ASBool indirect, ASTArraySize nEntries) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:283` Creates a new dictionary. For information on dictionary objects in standard PDF files, such as annotations or page objects, see the description of "Dictionary Objects" in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.3.7, page 18.

You should only call this method with a document obtained via CosDocOpenWithParams() to release resources used by the Cos document. **Parameters** - `cosDoc` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): IN/OUT The document to close. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosDocOpenWithParams`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocOpenWithParams) #### CosDocCreate ```cpp CosDoc CosDocCreate(ASFlagBits createFlags) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1085` Creates an empty Cos document. **Parameters** - `createFlags` ([`ASFlagBits`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASFlagBits)): An inclusive OR of bit flags that specify the attributes of a CosDoc when created by CosDocCreate() . The only flag currently defined is cosDocCreateInfoDict (0x01) , which creates an Info dictionary for the document. **Returns:** [`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc) An empty Cos document. **See also:** [`CosDocSaveToFile`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocSaveToFile) #### CosDocEnumEOFs ```cpp ASBool CosDocEnumEOFs(CosDoc cosDoc, CosDocEnumEOFsProc proc, void *clientData) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1274` Calls the specified procedure for each EOF in a given `CosDoc`, where the EOF is a position in a PDF file after a `%%EOF` keyword that marks the end of either a main cross-reference section, or an update cross-reference section that corresponds to an incremental save. Not every `%%EOF` keyword fits these criteria. For example, the first `%%EOF` in a linearized (optimized for the web) file does not, so its position is not be passed to proc . If `cosDoc` was created in memory (using CosDocCreate()), or if it was damaged and needed to be repaired, the procedure is not called at all. **Parameters** - `cosDoc` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)) - `proc` ([`CosDocEnumEOFsProc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFsProc)) - `clientData` (`void *`) **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) **See also:** [`CosDocEnumIndirect`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumIndirect), [`CosDocEnumEOFs64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFs64) #### CosDocEnumEOFs64 ```cpp ASBool CosDocEnumEOFs64(CosDoc cosDoc, CosDocEnumEOFsProc64 proc, void *clientData) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2210` Calls the specified procedure for each EOF in a given CosDoc . For details, see CosDocEnumEOFs() . This is the same as CosDocEnumEOFs() , except that the callback proc takes a 64-bit file position instead of a 32-bit file position. **Parameters** - `cosDoc` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): The CosDoc in which the EOF's are enumerated. - `proc` ([`CosDocEnumEOFsProc64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFsProc64)): The CosDocEnumEOFsProc64() to call for each EOF. - `clientData` (`void *`): A pointer to user-supplied data to pass to proc each time it is called. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) true if all of the calls to proc return true , false as soon as a call to proc returns false . **See also:** [`CosDocEnumIndirect`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumIndirect), [`CosDocEnumEOFs`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFs) #### CosDocEnumIndirect ```cpp ASBool CosDocEnumIndirect(CosDoc dP, CosObjEnumProc proc, void *clientData) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1378` Enumerates all the indirect objects of a given CosDoc . The objects are enumerated in no particular order. Successive enumerations of the same Cos document are not guaranteed to enumerate objects in the same order. This method does not enumerate invalid objects, which include objects that are defined as NULL , objects that are not defined at all (those having no cross-reference entry), and objects that are on the free list. See the description of "Indirect Objects" in section 7.3.10 in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.11.2, page 21. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO).

The value parameter returned in proc is always the NULL Cos object. - `clientData` (`void *`): A pointer to user-supplied data to pass to proc each time it is called. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) true if all of the calls to proc returned true . It returns false as soon as a call to proc returns false . **See also:** [`CosObjEnum`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjEnum) #### CosDocGetAdobeExtensionLevel ```cpp ASBool CosDocGetAdobeExtensionLevel(CosDoc dP, CosObj *baseVersion, ASUns32 *extension) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2442` Tests whether the supplied CosDoc contains the Adobe Extensions Dictionary for the ISO 32000 standard, and if so, returns the BaseVersion and ExtensionLevel When the Extensions Dictionary is added to a PDF document, it allows PDF features provided in Adobe Acrobat after PDF version 1.7 to be used with that document. The version of the PDF file is drawn from the Extensions Dictionary instead of from the file header. See https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html When the Extensions Dictionary is added to a PDF document, it allows PDF features provided in Adobe Acrobat after PDF version 1.7 to be used with that document.

The document does not need to be a PDF document. In params , the client specifies a file system and path name from which to open the document. The client may also specify a header string other than "%PDF-" . For example, a client might want to open a private file type, such as "%FDF-" . Various exceptions may be raised. Opening non-Cos docs with this API is unsupported and may lock the file after an open attempt. If the doRepair flag is set in the open flags, a minimal document can be opened. A minimal document contains the header string and a trailer dictionary. It may contain indirect objects before the trailer dictionary, and the trailer dictionary can refer to those objects, as shown in the following example: FDF-1.0 1 0 obj << /Version /1.5 /FDF << /F 20 0 R /JavaScript 5 0 R >> >> trailer << /Root 1 0 R >> **Parameters** - `params` (`CosDocOpenParams`): Specifies how to open the document. **Returns:** [`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc) A Cos document. **See also:** [`CosDocClose`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocClose) #### CosDocSaveToFile ```cpp void CosDocSaveToFile(CosDoc cosDoc, ASFile asFile, CosDocSaveFlags saveFlags, CosDocSaveParams saveParams) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1131` Saves a Cos document to a file handle. `CosDocSaveToFile()` will not generate an cross-reference table in the saved file.

When the Extensions Dictionary is added to a PDF document, it allows PDF features provided in Adobe Acrobat after PDF version 1.7 to be used with that document. The version of the PDF file is drawn from the Extensions Dictionary instead of from the file header. See https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html **Parameters** - `dP` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): The Cos document to set. - `baseVersion` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The PDF version on which the extensions are based (will be of type CosName ). - `extension` ([`ASUns32`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASUns32)): The level of the extension expressed as a monotonically increasing integer. **Returns:** `void` **See also:** [`CosDocHasISOExtensions`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocHasISOExtensions), [`CosDocGetAdobeExtensionLevel`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocGetAdobeExtensionLevel) #### CosDocSetDirty ```cpp void CosDocSetDirty(CosDoc cosDoc, ASBool isDirty) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1146` Sets a Cos document's dirty flag to a given boolean value.

It is called once for each position in a CosDoc after a %EOF keyword that marks the end of either a main cross-reference section, or an update cross-reference section that corresponds to an incremental save. See CosDocEnumEOFs() for more details. The precise value passed to the procedure is not defined. It is at least one byte past the %EOF keyword, but may include one or more white space characters. When the procedure is called only once, there is no guarantee that fileOffset is the same as the length of the file. **See also:** [`CosDocEnumEOFs`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFs), [`CosDocEnumEOFsProc64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFsProc64) #### CosDocEnumEOFsProc64 ```cpp typedef ASBool(* CosDocEnumEOFsProc64) (CosDoc cosDoc, ASFileOffset64 fileOffset, void *clientData))(CosDoc cosDoc, ASFileOffset64 fileOffset, void *clientData) ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:292` A callback for CosDocEnumEOFs64(). It is called once for each position in a CosDoc after a %EOF keyword that marks the end of either a main cross-reference section, or an update cross-reference section that corresponds to an incremental save. See CosDocEnumEOFs() for more details. This is similar to CosDocEnumEOFsProc(), except that the fileOffset parameter is a 64-bit value instead of a 31-bit value. **See also:** [`CosDocEnumEOFs64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFs64), [`CosDocEnumEOFsProc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFsProc) ### Structures (1) #### CosDoc ```cpp typedef struct _t_CosDoc* CosDoc ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:94` ### Definitions (7) #### cosDocCreateInfoDict Header: `CosExpT.h:198` Value: `0x01` #### cosSaveBinaryOK Header: `CosExpT.h:208` Value: `0x08` It is ok to store binary data in the file. #### cosSaveConcealObjStreams Header: `CosExpT.h:213` Value: `0x10` If there are any object streams, write them in a way that is hidden from PDF 1.4 (and earlier) viewers. This is used for hybrid files, for example. #### cosSaveCopy Header: `CosExpT.h:206` Value: `0x04` Do NOT use the newly saved file as new store, stay with the current one #### cosSaveFullSave Header: `CosExpT.h:204` Value: `0x02` Write all objects, not just changes. #### cosSaveGarbageCollect Header: `CosExpT.h:202` Value: `0x01` Delete unreferenced objects before save. #### kCosDocOpenDoRepair Header: `CosExpT.h:173` Value: `0x0001` ## CosName ### Functions (4) #### CosCopyNameStringValue ```cpp char * CosCopyNameStringValue(CosObj obj, ASTCount *nBytes) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2190` Returns a newly allocated buffer containing a copy of the Cos object's name as a NULL -terminated string. Upon return, nBytes contains the number of bytes in the string. CosCopyNameStringValue() never returns NULL ; it raises an exception if the allocation fails. The client is responsible for freeing the result by calling ASfree() . Unlike Cos strings, the strings corresponding to Cos names are NULL -terminated. This routine will avoid creating an ASAtom corresponding to the object's name and is generally more efficient than copying the value returned by ASAtomGetString(CosNameValue(obj)) .

The reference count is used by the garbage collector, which is invoked during a full-save of the document. If the reference count is positive at the time of garbage collection (it is initially 0 ), then the object will not be garbage-collected, regardless of whether the object is accessible from the root of the document. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): A Cos object. **Returns:** `void` #### CosObjCmp ```cpp ASInt32 CosObjCmp(CosObj obj1, CosObj obj2) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1541` Compares the two CosObj objects. The result is 0 only if CosObjEqual(obj1, obj2) is true . Otherwise, the result is either -1 or 1 . The result is useful for ordering or sorting Cos objects. No other significance should be attached to the result. In particular, a nonzero result indicates nothing about the type of either object. The result is valid only within a single instance of the document. That is, if CosObjCmp() returns a nonzero value and the document is closed and then reopened, there is no guarantee that it will return the same nonzero value for those same objects. The following conditions apply: If CosObjCmp(a, b) == 0 , then CosObjCmp(b, a) == 0 . If CosObjCmp(a, b) > 0 , then CosObjCmp(b, a) < 0 . If CosObjCmp(a, b) < 0 , then CosObjCmp(b, a) > 0 . If CosObjCmp(a, b) == 0 and CosObjCmp(b, c) == 0 , then CosObjCmp ( a, c ) == 0 . If CosObjCmp(a, b) > 0 and CosObjCmp(b, c) > 0 , then CosObjCmp (a, c) > 0 . If CosObjCmp(a, b) < 0 and CosObjCmp(b, c) < 0 , then CosObjCmp(a, c) < 0 . **Parameters** - `obj1` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The first CosObj to compare. - `obj2` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The second CosObj to compare. **Returns:** [`ASInt32`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASInt32) Returns zero if the two objects are equal, -1 if obj1 is less than obj2 , 1 if obj1 is greater than obj2 . **See also:** [`CosObjEqual`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjEqual) #### CosObjCopy ```cpp CosObj CosObjCopy(CosObj srcObj, CosDoc destDoc, ASBool copyIndirect) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1330` Copies a CosObj from one document to another (or the same document). **Parameters** - `srcObj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The CosObj to copy. - `destDoc` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): The CosDoc for the document into which the CosObj is copied. - `copyIndirect` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): true if all indirectly referenced objects from srcObj are copied to destDoc , false otherwise. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The CosObj which has been copied to the destination document. **See also:** [`CosObjEqual`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjEqual) #### CosObjDestroy ```cpp void CosObjDestroy(CosObj obj) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:488` Destroys a Cos object. This method does nothing if obj is a direct scalar object, such as the NULL object. If a composite object (an array, dictionary or stream) is destroyed: All the direct objects in it are automatically destroyed.

Neither proc nor any routine called by proc may modify obj . Doing so can produce undefined results or errors. For example, if obj is an array, proc must not call CosArrayRemove(); if obj is a dictionary, proc must not call CosDictPut(). - `clientData` (`void *`): A pointer to user-supplied data to pass to proc each time it is called. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) Returns true if every call to proc returned true . As soon as any call to proc returns false , the enumeration stops and CosObjEnum() returns false . **See also:** [`CosArrayGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosArrayGet), [`CosDictGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGet), [`CosDocEnumEOFs`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumEOFs), [`CosDocEnumIndirect`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDocEnumIndirect) #### CosObjEqual ```cpp ASBool CosObjEqual(CosObj obj1, CosObj obj2) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:55` Tests whether two Cos objects are equal. Cos objects are equal when all of the following conditions are true: They are either both direct or both indirect. They have the same type. If they are indirect, they have the same generation number. If they are scalars, they have the same value. (Two NULL objects are equal.) If they are non-scalar, they reference the same value. The last condition implies that the comparison is shallow . For example: CosObj a, b, c; a = CosNewString (doc, "XYZ"); b = CosNewString(doc, "XYZ"); c = b; In this case, CosObjEqual(a,b) is false , but CosObjEqual(b,c) is true . **Parameters** - `obj1` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): An object to compare with obj2 . - `obj2` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): An object to compare with obj1 . **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) true if obj1 and obj2 are equal, false otherwise. **See also:** [`CosObjCmp`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjCmp) #### CosObjGetCompressibility ```cpp ASBool CosObjGetCompressibility(CosObj obj) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1706` Tests whether an object is compressible .

Linearizing renumbers all indirect objects; this function returns the new renumbered Cos object, which should be used from this point on. This call is only valid from within notification callbacks responding to the PDDocDidSave() notification. If called from outside this context, or if the passed Cos object is direct, the function does not modify the object. In Acrobat 7.0 and later, linearizing does not renumber objects, and this method has no effect. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj *`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): A pointer to the object to refresh.

For a description of strong references, see CosDictSetWeakReference() . For indirect objects and direct nonscalars, CosObjRelease() decrements an internal reference count for obj . The reference count is used by the garbage collector, which is invoked during a full-save of the document. If the reference count is positive at the time of garbage collection (it is initially 0 ), then the object will not be garbage-collected, regardless of whether the object is accessible from the root of the document. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): A Cos object. **Returns:** `void` #### CosObjSetCompressibility ```cpp void CosObjSetCompressibility(CosObj obj, ASBool compressible) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1686` Controls whether a Cos object can be compressed. A compressible object can be added to a CosObjCollection. If you set the compressibility to false , calling CosObjAddToCollection() on that object has no effect. If the object is already compressed, it is removed from the object collection to which it belongs and then marked as incompressible. This method does nothing if applied to a direct object, a stream, or an object whose generation number is not zero. Objects of these types are never compressible. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The object whose compressibility is set. - `compressible` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): true if the object can be made part of a CosObjCollection , false otherwise. **Returns:** `void` true if obj is marked as compressible, false otherwise. **See also:** [`CosObjAddToCollection`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjAddToCollection), [`CosObjGetCompressibility`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjGetCompressibility), [`CosObjIsCompressed`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjIsCompressed) ### Typedefs (9) #### CosGeneration ```cpp typedef ASUns16 CosGeneration ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:44` #### CosHashCode ```cpp typedef ASUns32 CosHashCode ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:48` 0 is not valid. #### CosID ```cpp typedef ASUns32 CosID ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:46` #### CosObj ```cpp typedef OPAQUE_64_BITS CosObj ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:96` #### CosType ```cpp typedef ASInt32 CosType ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:90` Constants that specify a Cos object's type (string, number, dictionary, and so on). **See also:** [`CosObjGetType`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjGetType) #### CosObjEnumProc ```cpp typedef ASBool(* CosObjEnumProc) (CosObj obj, CosObj value, void *clientData))(CosObj obj, CosObj value, void *clientData) ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:132` A callback for CosObjEnum(), CosDocEnumIndirect(), and PDDocEnumOCGs().

The data is copied, so the source stream may be closed after CosNewStream returns. This method creates a Cos stream object by writing its PDF representation to an intermediate file in this format: <> stream ... data, possibly encoded ... endstream See the description of the Stream Objects in "Objects," in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.3.8, page 19. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). This occurs in four steps: Step 1: Writing the attribute dictionary If attributesDict is a valid Cos dictionary, the method writes that dictionary to the intermediate file. Otherwise, it creates a new direct dictionary, determining a Length key according to the sourceLength value: If sourceLength is negative, or if the source data is to be encoded (see below), the value of the Length key is a reference to a new indirect object, whose value will be set in Step 4 . Otherwise, Length is a direct scalar representing sourceLength . The dictionary that is written becomes the new stream's attribute dictionary. Step 2: Reading the data sourceStart determines where in the source stream to begin reading, and whether the source is seekable. If sourceStart is a negative number, the source is assumed to be non-seekable but positioned at the point where reading should start. Otherwise, the source is assumed to be seekable, and reading starts at the position indicated by sourceStart . If sourceStart is zero, data is read from the beginning of the source stream. Positive values for sourceStart may be used, for instance, to skip over initial data in the stream. Step 3: Encoding the data If attributesDict is a valid Cos dictionary, it contains a Filter key, and encodeTheSourceData is true , the method encodes the data after reading it from the source stream and before writing it to the intermediate file. The attributesDict is used as the new stream's dictionary. The Filter entry in this dictionary indicates how the data in the resulting Cos stream object will be subsequently decoded; the value may be the name of a decoding filter or an array of such names. Specify multiple filters in the order they should be applied to decode the data (if parameters are needed to decode the data, they are specified as the value of the DecodeParms key in attributesDict . See the description of the DecodeParms attribute in Table 5 in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format- Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.3.8.2, page 20. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). For each decoding filter, there is a corresponding encoding filter, which the method applies to the source data during this step. If parameters are needed to encode the data, they must be specified in the call by encodeParms (the encoding parameters are often different from the decoding parameters). The encodeParms parameter is optional for all encoding filters except DCTDecode and JBIG2Decode . See the encodeParms field of . If an array of filters is supplied, and at least one of them requires encoding parameters, then a corresponding array of encoding parameters is also required. Use the NULL object to represent default parameters for filters that have defaults. In any other case, the method copies the source data directly into the Cos stream with no encoding. If sourceLength is negative, it reads bytes until the source reaches its EOF. Otherwise, sourceLength indicates how many bytes to read from the source, and an exception is raised if the source reaches EOF before that. Step 4: Writing the data After the data is written, if the value of the Length key in the attributes dictionary was an indirect reference (either because it was supplied that way in attributesDict , or because it was created that way in Step 1 , the value of that indirect object is set to the number of bytes actually written (that is, the encoded length if the data was encoded). An indirect Length key is useful for one-pass writing, when the size of the written data is not known in advance, either because the data was to be encoded, or because there was no way to know how much data there would be before the source reached its EOF. An exception is raised if attributesDict is neither the NULL object nor a direct Cos dictionary, sourceStart is nonnegative but the source is not seekable, or if sourceLength is nonnegative but the source stream reaches EOF before that many bytes have been read. For attributeDict, see the description of Stream Objects in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 9.9, page 288. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). See the encoding step in the description above. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). See the encoding step in the description above. If no encoding parameters are needed, this value is ignored. CosNewStream() sets the document PDDocNeedsSave flag (see PDDocFlags). You cannot call CosStreamPos() on a stream created with CosNewStream() until the file has been saved. **Parameters** - `dP` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): The Cos document in which the newly created stream will be used. - `indirect` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): Must always be true , specifying that the Cos stream is created as an indirect object (all streams are indirect). This also sets the document's PDDocNeedsSave flag (see PDDocFlags ). - `stm` ([`ASStm`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASStm)): The source stream containing the data to copy into the new stream. The caller is responsible for closing stm after CosNewStream() returns. The source stream can be any readable ASStm . Typical sources are: Files ( ASFileStmRdOpen() ) or memory ( ASMemStmRdOpen() ). These streams are always seekable. Arbitrary procedures ( ASProcStmRdOpen() or ASProcStmRdOpenEx() ), or other Cos streams ( CosStreamOpenStm() ). These streams are always non-seekable. - `sourceStart` ([`CosStreamStartAndCode`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamStartAndCode)): The byte offset into stm from which data reading starts for a seekable stream. If the value is negative, it specifies that the stream is not seekable. - `encodeTheSourceData` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): Determines whether the data in stm should be encoded using filters specified in attributesDict before it is written to the Cos stream. See the description of the encoding step above. If attributesDict is a NULL object or if the dictionary has no Filter key, this value is ignored. - `attributesDict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): Either the NULL Cos object, or a direct Cos dictionary containing stream attributes, such as the length of the Cos stream data and a list of decoding filters and parameters to apply to the data. See the description of the Stream Objects in "Objects" in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.3.8, page 19. - `encodeParms` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The parameters to be used by the filters if the source data is encoded before it is written to the file. The parameters follow the structure for the value of the DecodeParms stream attribute. See the description of the DecodeParms attribute in Table 5 in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.3.8.2, page 20. - `sourceLength` ([`CosByteMax`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosByteMax)): The amount of data to be read from the source. If negative (typically -1 ), data is read from the source until it reaches its EOF. See Step 1 in the description above. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The newly created stream Cos object. **See also:** [`CosObjDestroy`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObjDestroy), [`CosNewStream64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosNewStream64) #### CosNewStream64 ```cpp CosObj CosNewStream64(CosDoc dP, ASBool indirect, ASStm stm, ASInt64 stmStartPos, ASBool stmDataIsDecoded, CosObj attributesDict, CosObj encodeParms, ASInt64 sourceLength, ASBool allowDelayedRead) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2302` Creates a new Cos stream, using data from an existing ASStm . For details, see CosNewStream() . This is the same as CosNewStream() , except that decodeLength is a 64-bit value instead of a 32-bit value, and allowDelayedRead enables the implementation to avoid making an intermediate copy of the stream data. This is useful when creating very large streams of data. Important: In this case, the caller must not close stm until it is established, through some independent mechanism, that the data will not be read again (see ASProcStmRdOpenEx() for further details on this feature). If allowDelayedRead is false , the source data is copied during this call, so the source stream may be closed after CosNewStream64() returns. **Parameters** - `dP` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)): The Cos document in which the newly created stream will be used. - `indirect` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): Must always be true , specifying that the Cos stream is created as an indirect object. - `stm` ([`ASStm`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASStm)): The source stream containing the data to copy into the new stream. - `stmStartPos` ([`ASInt64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASInt64)): Starting position for the stream. Its default is 0 . - `stmDataIsDecoded` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): A boolean value indicating whether the data in stm should be encoded using filters specified in attributesDict . - `attributesDict` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): Either the NULL Cos object, or a direct Cos dictionary containing stream attributes. - `encodeParms` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The parameters to be used by the filters if the source data is to be encoded. - `sourceLength` ([`ASInt64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASInt64)): The amount of data to be read from the source. - `allowDelayedRead` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): If this is true and stm permits seek operations, then the data from stm will not be read during this call, but rather at a subsequent time, and it may be read more than once. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The newly created stream Cos object. **See also:** [`CosNewStream`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosNewStream), [`ASProcStmRdOpenEx`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASProcStmRdOpenEx) #### CosStreamDict ```cpp CosObj CosStreamDict(CosObj stream) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:909` Gets a stream's attributes dictionary. **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): IN/OUT The stream whose attributes dictionary is obtained. **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) The stream's attributes dictionary Cos object. **See also:** [`CosStreamLength`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamLength), [`CosStreamPos`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamPos), [`CosDictGet`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictGet), [`CosDictPut`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDictPut) #### CosStreamLength ```cpp ASTArraySize CosStreamLength(CosObj stream) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:896` Gets the length of a Cos stream from the Length key in the stream's attributes dictionary. This specifies the length of the undecoded data, which is the number of bytes in the stream before the Filter (if any) is applied. This has the same effect as calling CosIntegerValue(CosDictGetKeyString(stream, "Length")) . An exception is raised if the Length key is not found in the attributes dictionary, if its value is not an integer, or if its value is outside the range of 32-bit integers. **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The stream whose length is obtained. **Returns:** [`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize) The length of the stream. **See also:** [`CosStreamDict`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamDict), [`CosStreamPos`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamPos), [`CosStreamLength64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamLength64) #### CosStreamLength64 ```cpp ASInt64 CosStreamLength64(CosObj stream) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2322` Gets the length of a Cos stream from the Length key in the stream's attributes dictionary. See CosStreamLength() for details. This is the same as CosStreamLength() , except that the return value is a 64-bit integer instead of a 32-bit integer. This has the same effect as calling CosInteger64Value(CosDictGetKeyString(stream, "Length")) An exception is raised if the Length key is not found in the attributes dictionary, or if its value is not an integer. **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The stream whose length is obtained. **Returns:** [`ASInt64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASInt64) The length of the stream. **See also:** [`CosStreamDict`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamDict), [`CosStreamLength`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamLength) #### CosStreamOpenStm ```cpp ASStm CosStreamOpenStm(CosObj stream, CosStreamOpenMode mode) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:926` Creates a new, non-seekable ASStm for reading data from a Cos stream. The data in the Cos stream may be filtered and encrypted. After opening the Cos stream, data can be read from it into memory using ASStmRead() . When reading is completed, close the stream using ASStmClose() . **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The Cos stream object for which an ASStm is opened. - `mode` ([`CosStreamOpenMode`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamOpenMode)): This must be one of the CosStreamOpenMode values. **Returns:** [`ASStm`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASStm) The newly-opened ASStm . **See also:** [`ASStmRead`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASStmRead), [`ASStmWrite`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASStmWrite), [`CosNewStream`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosNewStream) #### CosStreamPos ```cpp ASTCount CosStreamPos(CosObj stream) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:953` Gets the byte offset of the start of a Cos stream's data in the PDF file (which is the byte offset of the beginning of the line following the `stream` token). Use this method to obtain the file location of any private data in a stream that you need to read directly rather than letting it pass through the normal Cos mechanisms. For example, this could apply to a QuickTime video embedded in a PDF file. `CosStreamPos()` is only valid when called on a stream that is already stored in a PDF document. If the stream was created using `CosNewStream()`, the new stream is stored in the document's temp file, and you cannot invoke `CosStreamPos()` on it. After the file has been saved, you can use `CosStreamPos()` on the stream. **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) **Returns:** [`ASTCount`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTCount) **See also:** [`CosStreamDict`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamDict), [`CosStreamLength`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamLength) #### CosStreamPos64 ```cpp ASFilePos64 CosStreamPos64(CosObj stream) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:2338` Gets the byte offset of the start of a Cos stream's data in the PDF file. For details, see CosStreamPos() . This is the same as CosStreamPos() , except that the return value is a 64-bit file position instead of a 32-bit file position. **Parameters** - `stream` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The stream whose current position is obtained. **Returns:** [`ASFilePos64`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASFilePos64) The byte offset of the start of the Cos stream's data in the PDF file. **See also:** [`CosStreamPos`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamPos), [`CosStreamLength`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamLength) ### Typedefs (3) #### CosByteMax ```cpp typedef ASInt32 CosByteMax ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:52` -1 for none, error, or other special meaning #### CosStreamOpenMode ```cpp typedef ASEnum8 CosStreamOpenMode ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:169` Constants that specify whether filters and decryption should be applied to the stream's data. **See also:** [`CosStreamOpenStm`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStreamOpenStm) #### CosStreamStartAndCode ```cpp typedef ASInt32 CosStreamStartAndCode ``` Header: `CosExpT.h:50` ## CosString ### Functions (6) #### CosCopyStringValue ```cpp char * CosCopyStringValue(CosObj obj, ASTCount *nBytes) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1459` Returns a newly allocated buffer containing a copy of the Cos object's string value. Upon return, `nBytes` contains the number of bytes in the original Cos string. `CosCopyStringValue()` never returns `NULL`; it raises an exception if the allocation fails. The client is responsible for freeing the result by calling `ASfree()`. `CosCopyStringValue()` allocates extra memory past the end of the string and writes zeros into these extra bytes to ensure that the string is `NULL`-terminated whether viewed as a UTF-16 (Unicode) string or as a C string (these bytes are not included in the number returned in `nBytes`). If the Cos string has `0` length, `nBytes` will be `0`, and a pointer to newly allocated memory containing some zero bytes is returned (that is, CosCopyStringValue() still returns a NULL -terminated string but with zero length). An out-of-memory exception is raised if insufficient memory is available. It can also raise any exception that CosStringValue() can raise. @note In general, the returned value is not a `NULL`-terminated C string. Cos string objects are binary and can contain arbitrary byte sequences, including `NULL` characters. Standard C string handling functions may not work as expected. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)) - `nBytes` ([`ASTCount *`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTCount)) **Returns:** `char *` #### CosNewString ```cpp CosObj CosNewString(CosDoc dP, ASBool indirect, const char *str, ASTArraySize nBytes) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:234` Creates and returns a new Cos string object. **Parameters** - `dP` ([`CosDoc`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosDoc)) - `indirect` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)) - `str` (`const char *`) - `nBytes` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)) **Returns:** [`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj) #### CosStringGetHexFlag ```cpp ASBool CosStringGetHexFlag(CosObj cosObj) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1301` Gets the hex flag of the CosString . The hex flag specifies whether the CosString should be written out as hex when writing the Cos Object to file. **Parameters** - `cosObj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): IN/OUT The CosString for which the hex flag is obtained. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) The current value of the flag. **See also:** [`CosStringSetHexFlag`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStringSetHexFlag) #### CosStringSetHexFlag ```cpp ASBool CosStringSetHexFlag(CosObj cosObj, ASBool setHex) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1288` Sets the hex flag of the CosString . The hex flag specifies whether the CosString should be written out as hex when writing the Cos Object to file. **Parameters** - `cosObj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The CosString for which the hex flag is set. - `setHex` ([`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool)): The value to set for the flag. **Returns:** [`ASBool`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASBool) The value of setHex . **See also:** [`CosStringGetHexFlag`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosStringGetHexFlag) #### CosStringValue ```cpp char * CosStringValue(CosObj obj, ASTCount *nBytes) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:586` Gets the value of a string Cos object, and the string's length. An exception is raised if the type of obj is not a CosString . The pointer returned from this method is not guaranteed to remain valid if CosStringValue() is called again. It is recommended that you use CosStringValueSafe() or CosCopyStringValue() instead; these methods place the string into a user-allocated buffer. The caller must immediately copy the returned string. The memory pointed to be the return value may become invalid if any memory-allocating calls are made. In particular, consider the sequence: `str1 = CosStringValue(...); str2 = CosStringValue(...);` In this case, the contents of str1 may be invalid by the time the second CosStringValue() call returns. The returned value is not a C-style string. Cos string objects can contain NULL bytes. Standard C string-handling functions may not work as expected. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): IN The object whose value is obtained. - `nBytes` ([`ASTCount *`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTCount)): OUT (Filled by the method) The length of the string, in bytes. It must be a non- NULL pointer. **Returns:** `char *` The value of obj . **See also:** [`CosNewString`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosNewString), [`CosCopyStringValue`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosCopyStringValue) #### CosStringValueSafe ```cpp char * CosStringValueSafe(CosObj obj, char *buffer, ASTArraySize bufferSize, ASTCount *nBytes) ``` Header: `CosProcs.h:1488` Copies at most bufferSize bytes from the obj parameter's string value into buffer , and stores the actual length of the Cos string in *nBytes . If bufferSize is greater than the length of the Cos string, the remaining bytes in buffer have undefined values upon return. A bad-parameter exception is raised if bufferSize is less than 0 or nBytes is NULL . It can also raise any exception that CosStringValue() can raise. In general, the returned value is not a NULL -terminated C string. Cos string objects are binary data and can contain any arbitrary byte sequence, including embedded NULL characters. Standard C string handling functions may not work as expected. **Parameters** - `obj` ([`CosObj`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosObj)): The Cos object whose string value is copied. - `buffer` (`char *`): The buffer into which the Cos string value is copied, or NULL . - `bufferSize` ([`ASTArraySize`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTArraySize)): The length of buffer or 0 . - `nBytes` ([`ASTCount *`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/aslayer.md#ASTCount)): (Filled by the method) The length of the original Cos string in bytes (which may be more than bufferSize ). It must be a non- NULL pointer. **Returns:** `char *` A copy of the Cos string value or an exception. It will never return NULL . **See also:** [`CosCopyStringValue`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl18/CPlusPlus/APDFL18.0.5PlusP2a/coslayer.md#CosCopyStringValue) ## PDDoc ### Enums (1) #### AdobePDFVersion Header: `CosExpT.h:339` **Values** - `kNullPDFVersion = 0x00000000` - `kMinPDFVersion = 0x00010000` - `kAdobeAcrobat4Version = 0x00010300` - `kAdobeAcrobat5Version = 0x00010400` - `kAdobeAcrobat6Version = 0x00010500` - `kAdobeAcrobat7Version = 0x00010600` - `kAdobeAcrobat8Version = 0x00010700` - `kAdobeAcrobat9Version = 0x00010703` - `kAdobeAcrobat9_1Version = 0x00010705` - `kAdobeAcrobat10Version = 0x00010708` - `kAdobeAcrobat11Version = 0x0001070B` - `kMinSaveVersion = kAdobeAcrobat4Version` - `kMinXRefStreamVersion = kAdobeAcrobat6Version` - `kDefaultPDFVersion = kAdobeAcrobat7Version` - `kLastAdobe1XVersionWithoutExt = 0x00010700` - `kLastAdobe1XVersionWithExt = kAdobeAcrobat11Version` - `kMinPDFNextVersion = 0x00020000` - `kCurrentPDFVersion = 0x00020000`
