Uses types

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Document(StreamFile sf, boolean ignore)

Parameters

sf: StreamFile
ignore: boolean

Document()

Creates a new document. The only Cos object in the document will be a Catalog. After the document is created, at least one page must be added using CreatePage or InsertPages before the PDF Viewer can display or save the document.

Document(JavaStreamFile file)

Parameters

file: JavaStreamFile

Document(JavaStreamFile file, String password, PermissionRequestOperation perms, boolean doRepair)

Parameters

file: JavaStreamFile
password: String
perms: PermissionRequestOperation
doRepair: boolean

Document(javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream stream)

Parameters

stream: javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream: The stream from which to read the Document.

Open a Document from a javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.

This allows a document to be read from a ImageInputStream object. ImageInputStream can be created from InputStream using MemoryCacheImageInputStream or FileCacheImageInputStream.

Once passed to the Document constructor, ownership of the stream is passed to the Document. The Stream must remain open while the Document itself is open.

Document(javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream stream, String password, PermissionRequestOperation perms, boolean doRepair)

Parameters

stream: javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream: The stream from which to read the Document.
password: String: The password to use to attempt to open the document.
perms: PermissionRequestOperation: The permissions being requested. It must be an OR of the PermissionRequestOperation values.
doRepair: boolean: If true, attempt to repair the file if it is damaged. If false, do not attempt to repair the file if it is damaged.

Open a Document from a javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.

Document(String fileName)

Parameters

fileName: String: A path name to the file, specified in whatever format is correct for fileSys.

Opens the specified document. If the call fails and the exception is pdErrNeedRebuild, then call again with doRepair set to true. This allows the application to decide whether to perform the time-consuming repair operation.

Document(String fileName, String password, PermissionRequestOperation perms, boolean doRepair)

Parameters

fileName: String: A path name to the file.
password: String: The password to use to attempt to open the document.
perms: PermissionRequestOperation: The permissions being requested. It must be an OR of the PermissionRequestOperation values.
doRepair: boolean: If true, attempt to repair the file if it is damaged. If false, do not attempt to repair the file if it is damaged.

Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened Document. You must call Close() once for every successful open. If the call fails and the exception is pdErrNeedRebuild, then call again with doRepair equal to true. This allows the application to decide whether to perform the time-consuming repair operation.

Document(String XPSFilename, XPSConvertParams ConversionParams)

Parameters

XPSFilename: String: The path to the XPS file to convert.
ConversionParams: XPSConvertParams: Additional parameters for XPS conversion.

Create a Document from an XPS file.

Documents are converted one at a time. In multi-threaded applications, threads that are making simultaneous calls to this method will block and execute the method sequentially.

void embedFonts()

Returns:

void

Embed unembedded fonts in a document.

To keep the changes the document must be saved. Fonts on the user's system that match the original font definition will be embedded. For the Times-Roman and Helvetica and corresponding styles, if displayed with a font alias, then the font alias will be embedded in the file. If the font has information that indicates the font cannot be embedded for print and preview, then the font will not be embedded in the document.

With no flags, fonts marked as embedded or subsettable will be embedded.

By default, the font embedding process scans the entire document for font usage information when subsetting fonts. For documents with large numbers of fonts or pages, this can take a long time. In cases where new Font objects are created and used to set text, it's not necessary to scan the entire document; instead, use the version of this call that takes a list of Font objects and a set of flags for embedding. Passing the list of new Fonts and the DontScanDocument flag will directly embed the fonts in the list without scanning the document.

void embedFonts(java.util.EnumSet< EmbedFlags > flags)

Parameters

flags: java.util.EnumSet< EmbedFlags >: One of the EmbedFlags

Returns:

void

Embed unembedded fonts in a document.

Returns:

void

Embed unembedded fonts in a document.

void embedFonts(java.util.List fonts)

Parameters

fonts: java.util.List

Returns:

void

Embed specified fonts in a document.

The fonts passed to this function must be fonts actually used in the current document. These fonts may be obtained by using the GetFonts or GetLoadedFonts functions, or obtained from a TextRun. Fonts created by name will not work in this context.

void insertPages(int mergeAfterThisPage, Document doc2, int startPage, int numPages, java.util.EnumSet< PageInsertFlags > insertFlags)

Parameters

mergeAfterThisPage: int: The page number in doc after which pages from doc2 are inserted. The first page is 0. If Document.BeforeFirstPage is used, the pages are inserted before the first page in doc. Use Document.LastPage to insert pages after the last page in doc.
doc2: Document: The document containing the pages that are inserted into doc.
startPage: int: The page number of the first page in doc2 to insert into doc. The first page is 0.
numPages: int: The number of pages in doc2 to insert into doc. Use Document.AllPages to insert all pages from doc2 into doc.
insertFlags: java.util.EnumSet< PageInsertFlags >: Flags that determine what additional information is copied from doc2 into doc. It is an OR of the following constants: PageInsertFlags.Bookmarks, PageInsertFlags.Threads, PageInsertFlags.All

Returns:

void

Inserts numPages pages from doc2 into doc. All annotations, and anything else associated with the page (such as a thumbnail image) are copied from the doc2 pages to the new pages in doc. This method does not insert pages if doc equals doc2.

The insertFlags parameter controls whether bookmarks and threads are inserted along with the specified pages. Setting this parameter to PageInsertFlags.All has two effects:

The parameters indicating which pages to insert are ignored: all the pages of doc2 are inserted.

In addition to inserting the pages themselves, it also merges other document data from doc2 into doc:

Named destinations from doc2 (of PDF 1.1 and later) are copied into doc. If there are named destinations in doc2 with the same name as some named destination in doc, the ones in doc retain their names and the copied named destinations are given new names based on the old ones, with distinguishing digits added. Actions and bookmarks referring to the old names are made to refer to the new names after being copied into doc.

If it is also the case that mergeAfterThisPage denotes the last page of the document, then document metadata is merged, and the optional content properties are merged in a more symmetrical manner than would otherwise be the case.

Document logical structure from doc2 is copied into doc. If less than the whole of doc2 is being inserted, only those structure elements having content on the copied pages, and the ancestors of those elements, are copied into the logical structure tree of doc. The top-level children of the structure tree root of doc2 are copied as new top-level children of the structure tree root of doc; a structure tree root is created in doc if there was none before. The role maps of the two structure trees are merged, with name conflicts resolved in favor of the role mappings present in doc. Attribute objects having scalar values, or values that are arrays of scalar values, are copied. Class map information from doc2 is also merged into that for doc.

void insertPages(int mergeAfterThisPage, Document doc2, int startPage, int numPages, java.util.EnumSet< PageInsertFlags > insertFlags, ProgressMonitor progressMonitor, CancelProc cancelProc)

Parameters

mergeAfterThisPage: int: The page number in doc after which pages from doc2 are inserted. The first page is 0. If Document.BeforeFirstPage is used, the pages are inserted before the first page in doc. Use Document.LastPage to insert pages after the last page in doc.
doc2: Document: The document containing the pages that are inserted into doc.
startPage: int: The page number of the first page in doc2 to insert into doc. The first page is 0.
numPages: int: The number of pages in doc2 to insert into doc. Use Document.AllPages to insert all pages from doc2 into doc.
insertFlags: java.util.EnumSet< PageInsertFlags >: Flags that determine what additional information is copied from doc2 into doc. It is an OR of the following constants: PageInsertFlags.Bookmarks, PageInsertFlags.Threads, PageInsertFlags.All
progressMonitor: ProgressMonitor: a ProgressMonitor that will receive progress information, may be null
cancelProc: CancelProc: a CancelProc, which can return true to cancel the operation, may be null

Returns:

void

The insertFlags parameter controls whether bookmarks and threads are inserted along with the specified pages. Setting this parameter to PageInsertFlags.All has two effects:

The parameters indicating which pages to insert are ignored: all the pages of doc2 are inserted.

In addition to inserting the pages themselves, it also merges other document data from doc2 into doc:
