PDFArray Class Documentation

classPDFArray : PDFObject

Namespace:Datalogics::PDFL

Inherits from:
PDFObject

Detailed Description

Represents an array of data elements within a PDF document.

All objects in a PDF document are built from a collection of simpler objects that represent fundamental datatypes like numbers, strings and arrays. PDFObject and its subclasses allow direct access and manipulation of these simple objects. Some subclasses represent single data elements. For example, PDFInteger represents a single integer value. Others represent a collection of PDFObjects, like PDFArray, an indexed array of data elements.

A PDFArray is a heterogenous collection object that gathers other PDFObjects (including other PDFArrays) into an indexed list.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PDFArray

PDFArray(PDFArrayrhs, InternalConstructsignifier)

Parameters

signifier: InternalConstruct

PDFArray

PDFArray(Documentdoc, boolindirect)

Parameters

doc: Document

Document object containing this PDFArray

indirect: bool

flag marking this as an indirect PDFObject

General constructor

PDFArray

PDFArray(PDFObjectdocFromObj, boolindirect)

Parameters

docFromObj: PDFObject

The new PDFArray will be created in the same document as this object.

flag marking this as an indirect PDFObject

Member Function Documentation

Add

voidAdd(PDFObjectobject_)

Parameters

object_: PDFObject

Returns:

void

Adds an object to the end of the array

Clone

PDFObjectClone()

Returns:

PDFObject

Makes a new copy of this PDFObject in memory, in the same document and using same direct/indirect setting as this PDFObject.

Clone

Parameters

Returns:

PDFObject

Makes a new copy of this PDFObject in memory, in the supplied document, using the same direct/indirect setting as this PDFObject.

Clone

PDFObjectClone(Documentdoc, boolindirect)

Parameters

indirect: bool

Returns:

PDFObject

Makes a new copy of this PDFObject in memory, in the supplied document, using supplied direct/indirect setting.

Clone

Parameters

Returns:

PDFObject

Makes a new copy of this PDFObject in memory, in the same document as another object, using the same direct/indirect setting as this PDFObject.

Clone

PDFObjectClone(PDFObjectobj, boolindirect)

Parameters

indirect: bool

Returns:

PDFObject

Makes a new copy of this PDFObject in memory, in the same document as another object, using supplied direct/indirect setting.

CompareTo

Parameters

rhs: PDFObject

the other PDFObject to compare.

Returns:

A PDFObjectComparison value that relates this object to the rhs object

Compares this object to another object. The result is useful for ordering or sorting PDFObjects. No other significance should be attached to the result. In particular, an unequal result indicates nothing about the type of either object.

The result is valid only within a single instance of the document.

ConstructorRetrieve

static new static PDFArrayConstructorRetrieve(System.IntPtrignored)

Parameters

ignored: System.IntPtr

Returns:

new static PDFArray

Destroy

voidDestroy()

Returns:

void

Destroys this object.

This method does nothing if this object is a direct scalar object.

If a composite object (an array, dictionary or stream) is destroyed:

All the direct objects in it are automatically destroyed.

The indirect objects in it are not destroyed.

Dispose

voidDispose()

Returns:

void

DisposeChildren

voidDisposeChildren()

Returns:

void

EnumPDFObjects

boolEnumPDFObjects(PDFObjectEnumProcenumProc)

Parameters

enumProc: PDFObjectEnumProc

A user-supplied callback to call for each element of the object. of obj. Neither proc nor any routine called by proc may modify the object. Doing so can produce undefined results or errors. For example, if the object is an array, enumProc must not call Remove(); if the object is a dictionary, enumProc must not call Put().

Returns:

Returns true if every call to enumProc returned true. As soon as any call to enumProc returns false, the enumeration stops and EnumPDFObject() returns false.

Enumerates the elements of a PDFObject by calling a user-supplied procedure for each component of the object.

For scalars or strings, the proc is not called, and CosObjEnum() returns true.

For dictionaries, proc is called for each key-value pair. The order in which the key-value pairs are enumerated is undefined.

For arrays, proc is called with each element as the first paramater to proc, and the NULL object as the second parameter. Array elements are enumerated in ascending order of index.

For streams, proc is called once, with the stream's dictionary as the first parameter to the proc and the NULL object as the second parameter.

Equals

override boolEquals(objectobj)

Parameters

obj: object

Returns:

override bool

Get

PDFObjectGet(intindex)

Parameters

index: int

Returns:

PDFObject

Returns the object at the given index.

Insert

voidInsert(intindex, PDFObjectobject_)

Parameters

index: int
object_: PDFObject

Returns:

void

Inserts an object at the given index, displacing existing objects. All objects following this will have their index increased by one.

Put

voidPut(intindex, PDFObjectobj)

Parameters

index: int

Returns:

void

Puts an object at the given index, replacing the existing item. The index can be greater than the current length of the array; the array will be extended and the empty slots filled with null objects.

Remove

voidRemove(PDFObjectobject_)

Parameters

object_: PDFObject

Returns:

void

Removes the first object that matches the given object. The length of the array is reduced by 1.

RemoveAt

voidRemoveAt(intindex)

Parameters

index: int

Returns:

void

Removes the object at the given index. The length of the array is reduced by 1.

SameTypeEquals

boolSameTypeEquals(PDFObjectarg0)

Parameters

arg0: PDFObject

Returns:

bool

ToString

override stringToString()

Returns:

override string

fromCPtr

static PDFObjectfromCPtr(System.IntPtrfromCPtrParm)

Parameters

fromCPtrParm: System.IntPtr

Returns:

PDFObject
