Detailed Description

PDFDoc is a high-level class describing a single PDF (Portable Document Format) document. Most applications using PDFNet will use this class to open existing PDF documents, or to create new PDF documents from scratch.

The class offers a number of entry points into the document. For example,

  • To access pages use pdfdoc.GetPageIterator() or pdfdoc.GetPage(page_num).
  • To access form fields use pdfdoc.GetFieldIterator(), pdfdoc.GetFieldIterator(name) or pdfdoc.GetField(name).
  • To access document's meta-data use pdfdoc.GetDocInfo().
  • To access the outline tree use pdfdoc.GetFirstBookmark().
  • To access low-level Document Catalog use pdfdoc.GetRoot(). ...

The class also offers utility methods to slit and merge PDF pages, to create new pages, to flatten forms, to change security settings, etc.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( )

Default constructor. Creates an empty new document.

pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( SDF::SDFDoc sdfdoc)

Create a PDF document from an existing SDF/Cos document.

Parameters
sdfdoca pointer to the SDF document. Created PDFDoc will take the ownership of the low-level document.
Note
the SDFDoc will become invalid. If you would like to access the low level document use GetSDFDoc
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( const PDFDoc other)

Create a shallow copy of another PDFDoc

Parameters
othera reference to the PDF document to clone. Created PDFDoc will retain a reference to the same low-level document as the source.
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( const UString filepath)

Open an existing PDF document

Parameters
filepath- pathname to the file.
Note
Make sure to call InitSecurityHandler() after PDFDoc(...) in case a document is encrypted
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( const char *  filepath)
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( Filters::Filter  stream)

Open an existing PDF document

Parameters
stream- input stream containing a serialized document. The input stream may be a random-access file, memory buffer, slow HTTP connection etc.
Note
if the input stream doesn't support Seek() operation the document will load whole data stream in memory before parsing. In case of linearized PDF, the document may be parsed on-the-fly while it is being loaded in memory. Note that since MappedFile implements Seek() interface, the document does not have to be fully in memory before it is used.
Make sure to call InitSecurityHandler() after PDFDoc(...) for encrypted documents.
PDFDoc takes the ownership of the stream.
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::PDFDoc ( const UChar buf,
size_t  buf_size 
)

Open a SDF/Cos document from a memory buffer.

Note
the document should be fully loaded in the memory buffer.
the buffer ownership is not transfered to the document so the user should clean-up any allocated memory if necessary.
Parameters
buf- a memory buffer containing the serialized document
buf_size- the size of memory buffer.
pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::~PDFDoc ( )

Destructor

Member Function Documentation

void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::AddFileAttachment ( const UString file_key,
FileSpec  embedded_file 
)

Associates a file attachment with the document.

The file attachment will be displayed in the user interface of a viewer application (in Acrobat this is File Attachment tab). The function differs from Annot.CreateFileAttachment() because it associates the attachment with the whole document instead of an annotation on a specific page.

Parameters
file_keyA key/name under which the attachment will be stored.
embedded_fileEmbedded file stream
Note
Another way to associate a file attachment with the document is using SDF::NameTree:
* SDF::NameTree names = SDF::NameTree::Create(doc, "EmbeddedFiles");
* names.Put(file_key, file_keysz, embedded_file.GetSDFObj());
*
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::AddHighlights ( const UString hilite)

AddHighlights is used to highlight text in a document using 'Adobe's Highlight File Format' (Technical Note #5172 ). The method will parse the character offset data and modify the current document by adding new highlight annotations.

hilitea string representing the filename for the highlight file or or a data buffer containing XML data.
Exceptions
Anexception will be thrown if the XML file is malformed or os out of sync with the document.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::AddRootBookmark ( class Bookmark  root_bookmark)

void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::FDFUpdate ( FDF::FDFDoc fdf_doc)

Replace existing form and annotation data with those imported from the FDF file. It will make annotations in the FDF match those in the PDF. Since this method avoids updating annotations unnecessarily it works well with incremental save and can sometimes preserve annotation appearances, but it requires that the annotations intended to be in the final document be in the provided FDF file.

Note
Some PDF viewers (like Chrome) cannot display annotations that don't already have an appearance, so it is often desirable to call PDFDoc.RefreshAnnotAppearances after this method to ensure these annotations can still be displayed in those applications.
This method is not suitable for realtime collaboration.
Parameters
fdf_doca pointer to the FDF file

TextDiffOptions options 
)
static

Imports two external PDFs and highlights the differences between them. This function directly adds the highlights to the two input documents. Note: Each contiguous block of change is considered a single difference. A deletion immediately followed by an insertion is considered a single edit.

Parameters
doc1is the before document, the basis of the comparison
doc2is the after document, to which the basis is compared
optionsprocessing options (optional)
Returns
the total number of differences found
std::vector<Page> pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::ImportPages ( const std::vector< Page > &  pages,
bool  import_bookmarks = false 
)

The function imports a list of pages to this document. Although a list of pages can be imported using repeated calls to PageInsert(), PageImport will not import duplicate copies of resources that are shared across pages (such as fonts, images, colorspaces etc). Therefore this method is recommended when a page import list consists of several pages that share the same resources.

Parameters
pagesA list of pages to import. All pages should belong to the same source document.
import_bookmarksAn optional flag specifying whether any bookmark items pointing to pages in the import list should be merged with the target (i.e. this) document.
Returns
a list of imported pages. Note that imported pages are not placed in the document page sequence. This can be done using methods such as PageInsert(), PagePushBack(), etc.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::InitSecurityHandler ( void *  custom_data = 0)

Initializes document's SecurityHandler. This version of InitSecurityHandler() works with Standard and Custom PDF security and can be used in situations where the password is obtained dynamically via user feedback. See EncTest sample for example code.

This function should be called immediately after an encrypted document is opened. The function does not have any side effects on documents that are not encrypted.

If the security handler was successfully initialized it can be later obtained using GetSecurityHandler() method.

Exceptions
Anexception is thrown if the matching handler for document's security was not found in the global SecurityManager. In this case, you need to register additional custom security handlers with the global SecurityManager (using SecurityManagerSingleton).
Returns
true if the SecurityHandler was successfully initialized (this may include authentication data collection, verification etc.), false otherwise.
Parameters
custom_dataAn optional parameter used to specify custom data that should be passed in SecurityHandler::Initialize() callback.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::InitStdSecurityHandler ( const char *  password,
int  password_sz 
)

Initializes document's SecurityHandler using the supplied password. This version of InitSecurityHandler() assumes that document uses Standard security and that a password is specified directly.

This function should be called immediately after an encrypted document is opened. The function does not have any side effects on documents that are not encrypted.

If the security handler was successfully initialized, it can be later obtained using GetSecurityHandler() method.

Returns
true if the given password successfully unlocked the document, false otherwise.
Exceptions
Anexception is thrown if the document's security Filter is not 'Standard'. In this case, you need to register additional custom security handlers with the global SecurityManager (SecurityManagerSingleton).
Parameters
passwordSpecifies the password used to open the document without any user feedback. If you would like to dynamically obtain the password, you need to derive a custom class from StdSecurityHandler() and use InitSecurityHandler() without any parameters. See EncTest sample for example code.
password_szAn optional parameter used to specify the size of the password buffer, in bytes. If the 'password_sz' is 0, or if the parameter is not specified, the function assumes that the string is null terminated.
Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::InitStdSecurityHandler ( const pdftron::UString password)

Initializes document's SecurityHandler using the supplied password. This version of InitSecurityHandler() assumes that document uses Standard security and that a password is specified directly.

This function should be called immediately after an encrypted document is opened. The function does not have any side effects on documents that are not encrypted.

If the security handler was successfully initialized, it can be later obtained using GetSecurityHandler() method.

Parameters
passwordSpecifies the password used to open the document without any user feedback. If you would like to dynamically obtain the password, you need to derive a custom class from StdSecurityHandler() and use InitSecurityHandler() without any parameters. See EncTest sample for example code.
Returns
true if the given password successfully unlocked the document, false otherwise.
Exceptions
Anexception is thrown if the document's security Filter is not 'Standard'. In this case, you need to register additional custom security handlers with the global SecurityManager (SecurityManagerSingleton).
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::InitStdSecurityHandler ( const std::vector< UInt8 > &  password_buf)

Initializes document's SecurityHandler using the supplied password. This version of InitSecurityHandler() assumes that document uses Standard security and that a password is specified directly.

This function should be called immediately after an encrypted document is opened. The function does not have any side effects on documents that are not encrypted.

If the security handler was successfully initialized, it can be later obtained using GetSecurityHandler() method.

Parameters
password_bufSpecifies the password used to open the document without any user feedback. If you would like to dynamically obtain the password, you need to derive a custom class from StdSecurityHandler() and use InitSecurityHandler() without any parameters. See EncTest sample for example code.
Returns
true if the given password successfully unlocked the document, false otherwise.
Exceptions

int  end_page,
enum InsertFlag  flag,
Common::ProgressMonitor *  monitor = 0 
)

Inserts a range of pages from specified PDFDoc

Parameters
insert_before_page_number- the destination of the insertion. If less than or equal to 1, the pages are added to the beginning of the document. If larger than the number of pages in the destination document, the pages are appended to the document.
src_doc- source PDFDoc to insert from
start_page- start of the page number to insert
end_page- end of the page number to insert
flag- specifies insert options
progress- A pointer to the progress interface. NULL if progress tracking is not required.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::InsertPages ( int  insert_before_page_number,
PDFDoc src_doc,
const PageSet source_page_set,
enum InsertFlag  flag,
Common::ProgressMonitor *  monitor = 0 
)

Inserts a range of pages from specified PDFDoc using PageSet

Parameters
insert_before_page_number- the destination of the insertion. If less than or equal to 1, the pages are added to the beginning of the document. If larger than the number of pages in the destination document, the pages are appended to the document.
src_doc- source PDFDoc to insert from
source_page_set- a collection of the page number to insert
flag- specifies insert options
progress- A pointer to the progress interface. NULL if progress tracking is not required.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::IsEncrypted ( )
Returns
true if the document is/was originally encrypted false otherwise.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::IsLinearized ( ) const

Call this function to determine whether the document is represented in linearized (fast web view) format.

Returns
- true if document is stored in fast web view format, false otherwise.
Note
any changes to the document can invalidate linearization. The function will return 'true' only if the original document is linearized and if it is not modified.

In order to provide good performance over relatively slow communication links, PDFNet can generate PDF documents with linearized objects and hint tables that can allow a PDF viewer application to download and view one page of a PDF file at a time, rather than requiring the entire file (including fonts and images) to be downloaded before any of it can be viewed.

To save a document in linearized (fast web view) format you only need to pass 'Doc.SaveOptions.e_linearized' flag in the Save method.

bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::IsModified ( ) const

Call this function to determine whether the document has been modified since it was last saved.

Returns
- true if document was modified, false otherwise
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::IsTagged ( )
Returns
true if this document is marked as Tagged PDF, false otherwise.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::Lock ( )

Locks the document to prevent competing threads from accessing the document at the same time. Threads attempting to access the document will wait in suspended state until the thread that owns the lock calls doc.Unlock().

void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::LockRead ( )

Locks the document to prevent competing write threads (using Lock()) from accessing the document at the same time. Other reader threads however, will be allowed to access the document. Threads attempting to obtain write access to the document will wait in suspended state until the thread that owns the lock calls doc.UnlockRead(). Note: To avoid deadlocks obtaining a write lock while holding a read lock is not permitted and will throw an exception. If this situation is encountered please either unlock the read lock before the write lock is obtained or acquire a write lock (rather than read lock) in the first place.

void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::MergeXFDF ( Filters::Filter  stream,
const MergeXFDFOptions opts = 0 
)

Merge existing form and annotation data with those imported from the XFDF file. It will replace annotations from pdfdocument with matching annotations from XFDF.

size_t &  out_buf_size 
)

Saves a custom signature Contents to a document which has been prepared to receive it. No changes should be made to document in meantime.

Parameters
in_signatureThe signature Contents to write
in_signature_sizethe size of the signature buffer
in_fieldThe signature field to which to write
out_bufa pointer to the buffer containing the serialized version of the document. (C++ Note) The buffer is owned by a document and the client doesn't need to do any initialization or cleanup.
out_buf_sizethe size of the serialized document (i.e. out_buf) in bytes.
Exceptions
-if there is a problem during Save an Exception object will be thrown.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::SaveViewerOptimized ( const UString path,
const ViewerOptimizedOptions opts 
)

Applies optimizations to improve viewing speed and saves the document to the specified file. The main optimizations used are linearization and embedding thumbnails for the first page and any complex pages.

Parameters
pathThe full path name to which the file is saved.
optsThe optimization options
Exceptions
ifthe file can't be opened for saving or if there is a problem during Save an Exception object will be thrown.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::SaveViewerOptimized ( const char *&  out_buf,
size_t &  out_buf_size,
const ViewerOptimizedOptions opts 
)

Applies optimizations to improve viewing speed and saves the document to a memory buffer. The main optimizations used are linearization and embedding thumbnails for the first page and any other pages that are slow to render.

Parameters
out_bufa pointer to the buffer containing the serialized version of the document. (C++ Note) The buffer is owned by a document and the client doesn't need to do any initialization or cleanup.
out_buf_sizethe size of the serialized document (i.e. out_buf) in bytes.
opts- The optimization options
Exceptions
-if the file can't be opened for saving or if there is a problem during Save an Exception object will be thrown.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::SetOpenAction ( const Action action)

Sets the Action that will be triggered when the document is opened.

Parameters
actionA new Action that will be triggered when the document is opened. An example of such action is a GoTo Action that takes the user to a given location in the document.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::SetPageLabel ( int  page_num,
PageLabel label 
)

Attaches a label to a page. This establishes the numbering scheme for that page and all following it, until another page label is encountered. This label allows PDF producers to define a page numbering system other than the default.

Parameters
page_numThe number of the page to label. If page_num is less than 1 or greater than the number of pages in the document, the method does nothing.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::SetSecurityHandler ( const SDF::SecurityHandler handler)

The function sets a new SecurityHandler as the current security handler.

Parameters
handlernew SecurityHandler
Note
Setting a new security handler will not invalidate the access to the original file and will take effect during document Save().
If the security handler is modified, document will perform a full save even if e_incremental was given as a flag in Save() method.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::TryLock ( int  milliseconds = 0)

Try locking the document, waiting no longer than specified number of milliseconds.

Parameters
milliseconds- max number of milliseconds to wait for the document to lock
Returns
true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.
bool pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::TryLockRead ( int  milliseconds = 0)

Tries to obtain a read lock the document for <milliseconds> duration, and returns true if the lock was successfully acquired

Parameters
millisecondsduration to obtain a read lock for.
Returns
true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.
void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::Unlock ( )

Removes the lock from the document.

void pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::UnlockRead ( )

Removes the read lock from the document.

SignaturesVerificationStatus pdftron::PDF::PDFDoc::VerifySignedDigitalSignatures ( const VerificationOptions in_opts) const

Attempts to verify all signed cryptographic digital signatures in the document, ignoring unsigned signatures.

Returns
an enumeration value representing the state of the document's signatures
