Draws the specified stream of PDF marking operators into the specified window. This method is used for platform-independent drawing of graphics and text. This method changes the Current Transformation Matrix (CTM) and zoom factor for the current page. This leaves the file "dirty," or stale. The version of the file on the disk no longer matches the more current version in system memory. See the description of Resource Dictionaries in ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 7.8.3, on page 82. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). See the description of the Content Stream Operators in Annex A of the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, Annex A.2, on page 643. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). A pseudocode example of the stream object is: Platform: ((!MAC_PLATFORM || (MAC_PLATFORM && !AS_ARCH_64BIT))) && ((!MAC_PLATFORM))

Provides control over the rendering of contents, including both those parameters you would pass to PDDrawCosObjWithParams(), and an optional-content context that determines which contents are visible. Platform: ((!MAC_PLATFORM || (MAC_PLATFORM && !AS_ARCH_64BIT))) && ((!MAC_PLATFORM))

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Enumerates a form's drawing operations.

Enumerates a form's drawing operations for those contents that are visible in a given optional-content context. The parameters include both the monitor and data you would pass to PDFormEnumPaintProc(), and an optional-content context that determines which contents are visible.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Enumerates the resources used by a form.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Gets a form's bounding box.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Gets the value of a form's FormType attribute.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Gets the specified form's transformation matrix.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Gets the array Cos object corresponding to a form's XUID. An XUID is an array of numbers that uniquely identify the form in order to allow it to be cached.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Gets the lookup table for an indexed color space. The table will contain the number of entries specified by the index size, and there will be 1 byte for each color component for each entry. The number of color components depends on the color space: Color Number of components gray 1 RGB 3 CMYK 4 Lab 3 For additional information on indexed color space, see the Special Color Spaces section in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management- Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 8.6.6, page 155. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). There is also some useful discussion in theunder indexed color spaces.

(Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility. Use PDEImageGetAttrs and/or Cos-level calls instead.) Gets the attributes of an image (for example, Type, Subtype, Name, Width, Height, BitsPerComponent, ColorSpace, Decode, Interpolate, or ImageMask).

This method is obsolete and is provided only for backwards compatibility. The method allows an image selector client to change the region of the page occupied by an image. It must only be used by image selector clients that return data for only the visible part of an image, to set the region of the page that the sub-image occupies. It must not be used otherwise. This method only has an effect while displaying on the screen. It does nothing when printing. The matrix set by this call remains in effect only for the current image. The Acrobat viewer automatically replaces it after the image has been drawn.

This method is obsolete and provided only for backwards compatibility. The method gets device-related attributes for a particular image XObject. It must only be used from within an image selector client, since it returns information that is only valid in that context. This method can be used by an image selector client to obtain additional information to help the selector determine which alternate image to choose. If an image is displayed on two devices simultaneously (for example, if the window containing the image is split across two monitors in a multi-monitor system), the values returned forandare each the maximum for the devices on which the image is currently displayed. For example, if the image is currently split across the following devices: 8-bit gray scale monitor 4-bit RGB color monitorwould be, because that is thecolor space on which the image is currently displayed. would be, because that is the highest bit depth on which the image is currently displayed.

This method is obsolete and provided only for backwards compatibility. The method requests geometry-related attributes of an image XObject. This method can be used by an image selector client to obtain additional information to help the selector determine which alternate image to choose.is equal to the image horizontal size in 1/72 of an inch units.is equal to the image vertical size in 1/72 of an inch units.is equal to the left edge of image.is equal to the bottom edge of the image. In other words, this matrix provides the image's height, width, and position on the page, all in units of points (compare to). The intersection of the rectangle obtained by transforming a 1x1 unit rectangle (the image) throughand therectangle is the region of the image that is actually drawn. This is the region of the image for which data is required.

This method is obsolete and never called in Acrobat 8. (Obsolete, provided only for backwards compatibility) Selects which Alternate image to use. This method can do one of three things: Return an existing Alternate. Create and return an image XObject. Indicate that this XObject should be skipped. This method is called each time the Acrobat viewer draws an XObject image, regardless of whether the image XObject has an Alternates key. You can replace this method with your own version, using HFTReplaceEntry(). Ifis zero, the image selector must not return control to the Acrobat viewer until the selector can provide the alternate image to use. Ifis nonzero, the image selector does not have to provide the image XObject within, but it must raise the fileErrBytesNotReady exception if it cannot. This returns control to the Acrobat viewer and informs it that the data is not ready. The Acrobat viewer then calls the image selector periodically until the image selector returns the selected image XObject.

For internal use only.

A numeric count value for use in.

A signed measurement of an image offset, for use in.

This enumeration defines the flags used in thebitfield of the PDDocSaveParams structure passed to PDDocSaveWithParams(). These flags are an extension to those defined by the PDSaveFlags enumeration, which are stored in thebitfield of the PDDocSaveParams structure.

A flag value for use in PDDocInsertPagesParams().

A font metric value (which is never negative), for use in.

PDFindTranslateStringProc() is passed to PDFindText().

Gets the value of a key in a document's Info dictionary, or the value of this same key in the XMP metadata, whichever is later. However, it is preferable to use PDDocGetXAPMetadataProperty(), because it also allows accessing XMP properties that are not duplicated in the Info dictionary. See the description of the Document Information Dictionary in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 14.3.3, page 549. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). All values in the Info dictionary should be strings; other data types such as numbers and booleans should not be used as values in the Info dictionary. Users may define their own Info dictionary entries. In this case, it is strongly recommended that the key have the developer's prefix assigned by the Adobe Solutions Network.

Gets the value of a key in a document's Info dictionary, or the value of this same key in the XMP metadata, whichever is latest as an ASText object.

Sets the value of a key in a document's Info dictionary. However, it is preferable to use PDDocSetXAPMetadataProperty(), because it also allows accessing XMP properties that are not duplicated in the Info dictionary. See the description of the Document Information Dictionary in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 14.3.3, page 549. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). All values in the Info dictionary should be strings; other data types such as numbers and Boolean values should not be used as values in the Info dictionary. If an Info dictionary key is specified that is not currently in the Info dictionary, it is added to the dictionary. Users may define their own Info dictionary entries. In this case, it is strongly recommended that the key have the developer's prefix assigned by the Adobe Developers Association. @note This text is stored in either PDFDocEncoding or in Unicode. If it is stored in Unicode, a valid Byte Order Mark must be present.

Sets the value of a key in a document's Info dictionary.

Tests whether the data from an action object can be copied to a clipboard for pasting. If the action is part of an action chain, the method tests all actions in the chain, and returnsonly if all actions in the chain can be copied.

Tests whether data from an action object that has been copied to a clipboard can be pasted into a destination document. It tests, for example, whether pasting is allowed by document permissions. @returnif the action data can be pasted to the document,otherwise.

Copies action object data to a clipboard structure, from which it can be pasted. When the PDActionClipboardData is no longer required, it must be explicitly freed using PDActionDestroyClipboardData().

Destroys an action object.

Destroys data that has been copied from an action object into a clipboard. Use this method when the clipboard data is no longer needed.

Compares two actions for equality. Two actions are equal only if their Cos objects are equal (see CosObjEqual()).

Converts a dictionary Cos object to an action and verifies that the action is valid. This method does not copy the object, but is instead the logical equivalent of a type cast.

Gets the Cos object corresponding to an action. This method does not copy the object, but is instead the logical equivalent of a type cast.

Gets an action's destination view. This only works for actions that contain a view destination; that is, actions whose subtype is GoTo. For named destinations, this method may return a Cos string object or a Cos name object. See the description of the Named Destinations in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 12.3.2, page 365. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO). Since this method may not return a PDViewDestination, use the PDViewDestResolve() method on the returned value to obtain a PDViewDestination.

Gets a file specification from an action. Not all types of actions have file specifications; this method only works for actions that contain a file specification. See the description of Actions in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 12.6, page 414. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO).

Gets an action's subtype.

Tests whether an action is valid. This method can be used in the following cases: To determine whether a PDAction returned from a method is really an action. For example, calling PDLinkAnnotGetAction() returns an invalid action if no action is associated with the link annotation. To ensure that an action has not been deleted.

Creates a new action object.

Creates a new action that takes the user to the specified destination view. This method can only be used for destinations in the same document as the source document. Cross-document links must be built up from the Cos level, populating the Action dictionary for the GotoR action. See the description of the GoToR Action in the ISO 32000-1:2008, Document Management-Portable Document Format-Part 1: PDF 1.7, section 12.6.4, page 417. You can find this document on the web store of the International Standards Organization (ISO).

Creates an action of the specified type from a file specification.

Creates a new PDAction in the destination document, using clipboard data generated by PDActionCopy(). If the original PDAction was an action chain, the entire action chain is recreated. The returned PDAction is the first item in the chain. When the data is no longer needed, use PDActionDestroyClipboardData() to free the structure.

Actions are what happens when a user clicks on a link or bookmark. In addition, the Acrobat viewer allows a document to have an action that is executed automatically when the document is opened. Applications can also support actions in custom annotation types they add.

Registers a handler for PDAction operations.

Used to store PDAction data for copy and paste operations.

(Optional) A callback for PDActionHandler. It returnsif the copy operation is expected to succeed. It tests, for example, whether copying is allowed by document permissions. The handler is not expected to test other actions (if any) in the action chain.

(Optional) A callback for PDActionHandler. It returnsif the paste operation is expected to succeed. It tests, for example, whether pasting is allowed by document permissions. The handler is not expect to test other actions (if any) in the action chain.

(Optional) A callback for PDActionHandler. It copies data from an action object to a new data structure, from which it can be pasted to a new document. The PDActionHandlerData does not store any information related to a Next action. Rebuilding the action chain is the responsibility of the caller and can be ignored by the PDActionHandler.

A callback for PDActionHandler. It destroys data copied into an action clipboard data structure after it has been successfully pasted to a new document.

(Optional) A callback for PDActionHandler. It destroys the action handler structure when the application no longer requires it. The handler should destroy any dynamic memory stored in thefield.

A callback for PDActionHandler. It returns an ASAtom indicating the action type for which the handler is responsible. Types are defined by the client when registering the action handler.

(Optional) A callback for PDActionHandler. It creates a new PDAction in the destination document using data that was placed in a PDActionClipboardA data structure using the PDActionCopy() function, and returns the new action object.

Tests whether the data from an annotation on a given page can be copied to a clipboard for pasting. This depends on whether there is a PDAnnotHandler with copy and paste support for the annotation, and whether copying is allowed by document permissions.

Tests whether data from an annotation that has been copied to a clipboard can be pasted to a location on a page. Pasting can be disallowed by document permissions, or because the annotation cannot be accurately reproduced in the destination document.

Copies action object data to a clipboard structure, from which it can be pasted.

Destroys data that has been copied from an annotation object into a clipboard. Use this method after successfully pasting the data to a new document.

Tests whether two annotations are identical.

Converts a dictionary Cos object to an annotation. This method does not copy the object, but is instead the logical equivalent of a type cast.

Gets a note or link annotation's color. If the annotation does not specify an explicit color, a default color is returned. Text annotations return; all others return black. Only RGB color specifications are currently supported. Annotation Use Closed text note The icon background color. Open, un-selected text note The bounding rectangle color. Open, selected text note The color of the annotation's title bar. Link annotation The link border color.

Gets the Cos object corresponding to an annotation. This method does not copy the object, but is instead the logical equivalent of a type cast.

Gets an annotation's date.

Gets an annotation's flags.

Gets an optional-content membership dictionary (OCMD) object associated with the annotation.

Gets the size and location of an annotation on its page.

Gets an annotation's subtype.

Gets an annotation's label text. @since

Gets an annotation's label text as an ASText object.

Tests whether an annotation with an OC entry is visible in a given optional-content context, considering the currentstates of the optional-content groups in the optional-content dictionary (OCMD) and the dictionary's visibility policy.

Tests whether an annotation is valid. This is intended only to ensure that the annotation has not been deleted, not to ensure that all necessary information is present and valid.

Broadcasts a PDAnnotDidChange() notification. Clients must call this method after making any change to a custom annotation.

Broadcasts a PDAnnotWillChange() notification. Clients must call this method before making any change to a custom annotation.

Pastes copied annotation data from a clipboard structure to a new annotation object in a specified document. After successfully pasting the data, use PDAnnotDestroyClipboardData() to free the associated memory.

Dissociates any optional-content membership dictionary (OCMD) object from the annotation.

Sets a note or link annotation's color. Only RGB color specifications are currently supported. Annotation Use Closed text note The icon background color. Open, un-selected text note The bounding rectangle color. Open, selected text note The color of the annotation's title bar. Link annotation The link border color. @notify PDAnnotWillChange @notify PDAnnotDidChange

Sets an annotation's date.

Sets an annotation's flags.

Associates an optional-content membership dictionary (OCMD) object with the annotation, making it optionally visible according to the OCMD's visibility policy. If the annotation already has a dictionary, the method replaces it.

Sets the size and location of an annotation on its page.

Sets an annotation's label text. @notify PDAnnotWillChange @notify PDAnnotDidChange This text is stored in either PDFDocEncoding or in Unicode. If it is stored in Unicode, a valid Byte Order Mark must be present. @since

Sets an annotation's label text. @notify PDAnnotWillChange @notify PDAnnotDidChange

An annotation on a page in a PDF file. Acrobat viewers have two built-in annotation types: PDTextAnnot and PDLinkAnnot. Physical attributes of the annotation can be set and queried. Plug-ins add movie and Widget (form field) annotations. Developers can define new annotation subtypes by creating new annotation handlers.

A callback for PDAnnotHandler. This method is called to determine whether an annotation is printed.

Used to store PDAnnot data for copy and paste operations.

PDAnnotPrintOp is passed to the PDAnnotHandlerGetPrintAppearanceProc() callback to specify the type of print operation being performed.

Casts a link annotation or a text annotation to a generic annotation.

Allows modifying this annotation type in a write-protected document.

All operations are allowed.

It is okay to filter annotations.

When creating a flattened page include this annot

It is okay to manage annotations.

It is okay to summarize annotations.

The annotation is not visible and does not print.

If there is no annotation handler, the annotation is invisible.

The annotation does not move or resize with the view. Currently only form fields respect this flag. If the annotation is locked, the user cannot delete, move or change its associated form field's properties.
