Parameters

page

Type: pdftron.PDFPage
The page to write content.

placement

Type: pdftron.PDFElementWriterWriteMode
An optional flag indicating whether the new content should be added as a foreground or background layer to the existing page. By default, the new content will appear on top of the existing graphics.

page_coord_sys

Type: SystemBoolean
An optional flag used to select the target coordinate system. If true (default), the coordinates are relative to the lower-left corner of the page, otherwise the coordinates are defined in PDF user coordinate system (which may, or may not coincide with the page coordinates).

compress

Type: SystemBoolean
An optional flag indicating whether the page content stream should be compressed. This may be useful for debugging content streams. Also some applications need to do a clear text search on strings in the PDF files. By default, all content streams are compressed.
