PDFName Class Documentation

classPDFName : PDFObject

Namespace:com::datalogics::PDFL

Inherits from:
PDFObject

Detailed Description

Represents a name data element 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, PDFName represents a single name value. Others represent a collection of PDFObjects, such as PDFArray, an indexed array of data elements.

A PDFName represents a single indivisible name token, and may be inserted into any collection object. It may also be used as a key in a PDFDictionary.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PDFName

PDFName(Stringvalue, Documentdoc, booleanindirect)

Parameters

value: String

String value representing this PDFName

doc: Document

Document object containing this PDFName

indirect: boolean

flag marking this as an indirect PDFObject

General constructor

PDFName

PDFName(Stringvalue, PDFObjectdocFromObj, booleanindirect)

Parameters

value: String

String value representing this PDFName

docFromObj: PDFObject

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

indirect: boolean

flag marking this as an indirect PDFObject

General constructor

Member Function Documentation

DisposeChildren

voidDisposeChildren()

Returns:

void

[static initializer]

static void[static initializer]()

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, booleanindirect)

Parameters

indirect: boolean

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, booleanindirect)

Parameters

indirect: boolean

Returns:

PDFObject

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

compareTo

PDFObjectComparisoncompareTo(PDFObjectrhs)

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.

delete

synchronized voiddelete(Booleandisposing)

Parameters

disposing: Boolean

Returns:

synchronized void

delete

synchronized voiddelete()

Returns:

synchronized void

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.

enumPDFObjects

booleanenumPDFObjects(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

booleanequals(Objectrhs)

Parameters

rhs: Object

Returns:

boolean

finalize

voidfinalize()

Returns:

void

getDocument

DocumentgetDocument()

Returns:

the Document in which the object resides.

The Document of which this object is a member.

Returns null if the Document is not known by PDFL, or if it is a temporary document.

If the Document is not null, then it shares the same internal data with other Document objects that refer to the same file. Document objects returned this way do not contribute to the internal count that keeps the Document open, and will become invalid if the main reference to the document is disposed.

getGeneration

intgetGeneration()

Returns:

int

The generation number for this object. Only indirect objects have a generation number.

getID

intgetID()

Returns:

int

The ID number for this object. Only indirect objects have an ID number.

getIndirect

booleangetIndirect()

Returns:

boolean

Indicates if this object is indirect or direct.

getPDFHashValue

intgetPDFHashValue()

Returns:

int

The 32-bit hash value for this object. The hash value is used internally to quickly access the object, and is not generally useful for PDFObject users. Note that two PDFObjects with equal hash values are not necessarily equal; use Equals() to check for equality.

getValue

StringgetValue()

Returns:

String

String value of this object.

sameTypeEquals

booleansameTypeEquals(PDFObjectarg0)

Parameters

arg0: PDFObject

Returns:

boolean

toString

StringtoString()

Returns:

String
