Class Detail
PDFNet.SDFDoc(id)
SDFDoc is a low-level document representing a graph of SDF::Obj nodes that can be used to build higher-level document models such as PDF (Portable Document Format) or FDF (Forms Document Format). SDFDoc brings together document security, document utility methods, and all SDF objects. A SDF document can be created from scratch using a default constructor: SDFDoc mydoc; Obj trailer = mydoc.GetTrailer(); SDF document can be also created from an existing file (e.g. an external PDF document):
Parameters:
id

enableDiskCaching(use_cache_flag)
A document uses a temporary file which is used to cache the contents of any new stream object created in the document (that is the default behavior).
Parameters:
{boolean} use_cache_flag
true to enable caching, false to disable caching. Use this function to enable or disable this feature dynamically.

{string} getFileName()
Returns:
{string} A promise that resolves to the filename of the document if the document is loaded from disk, or empty string if the document is not yet saved or is loaded from a memory buffer.

{string} getHeader()
Returns:
{string} A promise that resolves to the header string identifying the document version to which the file conforms. For a file conforming to PDF version 1.4, the header should be %PDF-1.4. In general header strings have the following syntax: %AAA-N.n where AAA identifies document specification (such as PDF, FDF, PJTF etc), N is the major version and n is the minor version. The new header string can be set during a full save (see SDFDoc::Save()). For a document that is not serialized the function returns an empty string.

{Obj} importObj(obj, deep_copy)
Parameters:
{Obj} obj
an object to import.
{boolean} deep_copy
a boolean indicating whether to perform a deep or shallow copy. In case of shallow copy all indirect references will be set to null. If the object belongs to a document the function will perform deep or shallow clone depending whether deep_copy flag was specified. If the object does not belong to any document ImportObj does not take the object ownership. ImportObj copies the source object and it is users responsibility to delete free objects.
Returns:
{Obj} A promise that resolves to a pointer to the root indirect object in this document

{boolean} initSecurityHandler(custom_data)
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.
Parameters:
{UNKNOWNTYPE} custom_data
An optional parameter used to specify custom data that should be passed in SecurityHandler::Initialize() callback.
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the SecurityHandler was successfully initialized (this may include authentication data collection, verification etc.), false otherwise.

{boolean} initStdSecurityHandler(password, 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.
Parameters:
{string} password
Specifies 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.
{number} password_sz
An 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.
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the given password successfully unlocked the document, false otherwise.

{boolean} initStdSecurityHandlerUString(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:
{string} password
Specifies 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:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the given password successfully unlocked the document, false otherwise.

{boolean} isEncrypted()
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the document is/was originally encrypted false otherwise.

{boolean} isFullSaveRequired()
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the document requires full save.

{boolean} isLinearized()
Call this function to determine whether the document is represented in linearized (fast web view) format.
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if document is stored in fast web view format, false otherwise.

{boolean} isModified()
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if document was modified, false otherwise

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().

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.

removeSecurity()
This function removes document security.

saveMemory(flags, header)
[Documentation Not Yet Added]
Parameters:
{string} flags
(generated documentation)
{number} header
(generated documentation)

saveStream(stream, flags, header)
Saves the document to a stream.
Parameters:
{Filter} stream
The output stream where to write data.
{number} flags
A bit field composed of an OR of the SDFDoc::SaveOptions values.
{string} header
File header. A new file header is set only during full save. See also GetHeader()

setSecurityHandler(handler)
The function sets a new SecurityHandler as the current security handler.
Parameters:
{SecurityHandler} handler
new SecurityHandler

swap(obj_num1, obj_num2)
Sometimes it is desirable to modify all indirect references to a given indirect object. It would be inefficient to manually search for all indirect references to a given indirect object. A more efficient and less error prone method is to replace the indirect object in the cross reference table with a new object. This way the object that is referred to is modified (or replaced) and indirect references do not have to be changed.
Parameters:
{number} obj_num1
object number of first object to be swapped.
{number} obj_num2
object number of second object to be swapped.

{boolean} timedLock(milliseconds)
Try locking the document, waiting no longer than specified number of milliseconds.
Parameters:
{number} milliseconds
max number of milliseconds to wait for the document to lock
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.

{boolean} timedLockRead(milliseconds)
Try locking the document, waiting no longer than specified number of milliseconds.
Parameters:
{number} milliseconds
max number of milliseconds to wait for the document to lock
Returns:
{boolean} A promise that resolves to true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.

{[ERROR]} tryLock()
Try locking the document.
Returns:
{[ERROR]} true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.

{[ERROR]} tryLockRead()
Tries to obtain a read lock the document and returns true if the lock was successfully acquired
Returns:
{[ERROR]} true if the document is locked for multi-threaded access, false otherwise.

unlock()
Removes the lock from the document.

unlockRead()
Removes the lock from the document.

{number} xRefSize()
Returns:
{number} A promise that resolves to The size of cross reference table
