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.

Allows to obtain all attached files from the PDF document.

The author of the PDF document.

The Base URI of the PDF document.

Gets the root of the document's bookmark tree. The return value is valid even if the document's bookmark tree is empty (meaning that there is no Outlines key in the underlying PDF file).

GetCollection allows to retrieve collection from the PDF document.

The compression level of the document.

The compression level can be one of three values returned by this property:

0 - No compression. All objects are available without inflation.

1 - Partial compression. Objects related to logical structure are stored in object streams and must be inflated.

2 - Full compression. All objects are compressed and must be inflated.

The creator of the PDF file.

Gets the default OptionalContentConfig for the document. The OptionalContentConfig determines default settings for optional content, such as the order in which layers (i.e. OptionalContentGroup) appear in the Layers control panel. These settings are used when the document is first opened.

The document is based on a temporary file that must be deleted when the document is closed or saved.

Get the filename associated with this Document, if it has a representation on disk.

Get all the fonts in the specified page range. This may take a considerable amount of time for a large page range.

Returns the document's Forms Type. This property is more versatile than the related IsDynamicXFA() and IsStaticXFA() methods.

https://www.datalogics.com/pdf-form-functions .

The document contains a Digital Signature.

Gets the value of metadata information in a PDF file.

The Info dictionary of the document as a PDFObject.

Get the instance ID for this document.

The document is embedded in a compound document (OLE, OpenDoc).

The document is linearized (optimized) for page-served remote (network) access. This flag is get only.

The document has been modified slightly (for example, bookmarks or text annotations have been opened or closed), but not in a way that warrants saving. This flag is get only.

The document is optimized. If this flag is cleared, the Adobe PDF Library does not save the file optimized. You can, therefore, linearize a PDF file without optimizing it. Optimizing without linearizing is not allowed, however. This flag can only be set, never cleared.

The underlying file is PxDF. This flag is get only.

The keywords of the PDF file.

Enumerates all the fonts that have been encountered so far. A font is loaded when a page that uses it is processed. This typically happens when a page is drawn or its thumbnail image is created.

The major PDF version number of the document. The PDF version is specified in the header of a PDF file in the string "%PDF-xx. yy" where xx is the major version and yy is the minor version.

The document's major version is newer than the current library version. This flag is get only.

A string containing a semicolon-separated list of fields. The first such field is the entire contents of the pdf:Keywords property of the document XMP; the remaining fields are the contents of successive items in the xmp:Keywords bag of keyword items.

The minor PDF version number of the document. The PDF version is specified in the header of a PDF file in the string "%PDF-xx. yy" where xx is the major version and yy is the minor version.

Please note: Setting the minor version on a document only changes the version number in the document's file header. It will NOT actually change the PDF's contents and it will NOT alter the PDF to conform to the standard of the new minor version.

The new minor version number will appear in the file header once the document is saved.

The document's minor version is newer than the current library version. This flag is get only.

Retrieves the name tree inside the Names dictionary with the specified key name.

The document has been modified and needs to be saved.

Gets the number of pages in a document.

Gets all OptionalContentConfigs stored in this document. The first will be the default OptionalContentConfig (the same value returned by DefaultOptionalContentConfig); subsequent values will be additional Configs stored in the document. Any of these can be made the default by setting it via the DefaultOptionalContentConfig property.

Any OptionalContentConfigs created via the OptionalContentConfig constructor will appear in this list.

Gets the built-in default OptionalContentContext for the document. This context is used by all content drawing and enumeration calls that do not take an OptionalContentContext parameter, or for which no context is specified.

Gets the optional-content groups for the document. The order of the groups is not guaranteed to be the creation order, and is not the same as the display order (see PDOCConfigGetOCGOrder()).

Gets a Page from a document.

The list of PageLabel objects used in the document.

PageLabels are always stored in page index order; if two PageLabels start on the same page index, the last PageLabel appearing in the list will be used.

The PageMode of the PDF document.

Get the permanent ID for this document.

Allows to obtain security flags for the document.

The producer of the PDF file.

The document cannot be saved incrementally; when it is saved using Document.Save(), the SaveFlags.Full flag must be specified. This flag can only be set, never cleared.

A Document that have been previously saved Incrementally means changes were written to the end of the file leaving its original contents intact. Thus an Incrementally saved file may contain multiple entire PDF documents that represent prior incarnations of the current document. This method retrieves any such previous documents found in sequential order from the beginning of the file.

The Catalog of the document as a PDFObject.

Retrieves the IDTree from the StructureTreeRoot dictionary.

Retrieves the ParentTree from the StructureTreeRoot dictionary.

The subject of the PDF document.

Do not display errors.

The title of the PDF document.

The document's version is older than the current library version. This flag is get only.

The PDF version of the document, which is specified in the header of a PDF file in the string "%PDF-xx.yy" where xx is the major version and yy is the minor version.

Note that this returns a string containing both the major and minor versions. For version comparisons, use MajorVersion and MinorVersion.

The document was repaired when it was opened. This flag is get only.

The XMP metadata associated with a document.

The XMP metadata returned always represents all the properties in the Document's Info dictionary, and can also contain properties not present in the Info dictionary. This call is preferred to GetInfo, which only returns properties that are in the Info dictionary (although the older function is supported for compatibility).

Gets the value of an XMP metadata array item, associated with a document, based on an index.

Gets the value of an XMP metadata property associated with a document. It returns the XML text of the value of the specified property in the XMP metadata associated with the Document. The XMP metadata can represent all properties in the Document object's Info dictionary, as well as other properties.

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.

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.

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.

Causes a string produced as by PDDocGetMergedXAPKeywords() to be stored as the new value of the pdf:Keywords property, and the former value of the pdf:Keywords property to be stored as an item in the xmp:Keywords bag of keyword items.

The algorithm used to compute merged keywords lists detects the case in which the keywords lists have already been merged and makes no changes to the XMP metadata in this case.

Saves a document to disk. If a full save is requested to the original path, the file is saved to a file system-determined temporary file, the old file is deleted, and the temporary file is renamed to the save file name.

A full save with linearization optimizes the PDF file. During optimization, all objects in a PDF file are rearranged, many of them acquiring not only a new file position, but also a new PDFObject number. At the end of the save operation, PDFL flushes its information of the PD layer and below to synchronize its in-memory state with the new disk file just written.

If the document has a signature, it will be saved incrementally regardless of the full save flag. This is required to preserve the exact contents of the document at the time of signing.

Saves a Document to a javax.imageio.stream.ImageOutputStream.

The save is always performed as a full, copy save. The Document remains open with the original file.

The new major version number will appear in the file header once the document is saved.

The minor PDF version number of the document. The PDF version is specified in the header of a PDF file in the string "%PDF-xx. yy" where xx is the major version and yy is the minor version. For example, version 1.2 has the string "%PDF-1 .2".

Please note: Setting the minor version on a document only changes the version number in the document's file header. It will NOT actually change the PDF's contents and it will NOT alter the PDF to conform to the standard of the new minor version.
