Constructor Detail

PdfOCProperties

public PdfOCProperties(PdfDocument document)

Creates a new PdfOCProperties instance.

Parameters:

document - the document the optional content belongs to

PdfOCProperties

public PdfOCProperties(PdfDictionary ocPropertiesDict)

Creates a new PdfOCProperties instance by the dictionary it represents, the dictionary must be an indirect object.

Parameters:

ocPropertiesDict - the dictionary of optional content properties, must have an indirect reference.

Method Detail

addOCGRadioGroup

public void addOCGRadioGroup(List<PdfLayer> group)

Use this method to set a collection of optional content groups whose states are intended to follow a "radio button" paradigm. That is, the state of at most one optional content group in the array should be ON at a time: if one group is turned ON, all others must be turned OFF.

Parameters:

group - the radio group

fillDictionary

public PdfObject fillDictionary()

Fills the underlying PdfDictionary object with the current layers and their settings. Note that it completely regenerates the dictionary, so your direct changes to the dictionary will not take any affect.

Returns:

the resultant dictionary

fillDictionary

public PdfObject fillDictionary(boolean removeNonDocumentOcgs)

Fills the underlying PdfDictionary object with the current layers and their settings. Note that it completely regenerates the dictionary, so your direct changes to the dictionary will not take any affect.

Parameters:

removeNonDocumentOcgs - the flag indicating whether it is necessary to delete OCGs not from the current document

Returns:

the resultant dictionary

flush

public void flush()

Overrides:

flush in class PdfObjectWrapper<PdfDictionary>

getLayers

public List<PdfLayer> getLayers()

Gets the list of all the layers currently registered in the OCProperties. Note that this is just a new list and modifications to it will not affect anything.

Returns:

list of all the layers currently registered in the OCProperties

isWrappedObjectMustBeIndirect

protected boolean isWrappedObjectMustBeIndirect()

Description copied from class: PdfObjectWrapper

Defines if the object behind this wrapper must be an indirect object in the resultant document.

If this method returns true it doesn't necessarily mean that object must be in the indirect state at any moment, but rather defines that when the object will be written to the document it will be transformed into indirect object if it's not indirect yet.

Return value of this method shouldn't depend on any logic, it should return always true or false.

Specified by:

isWrappedObjectMustBeIndirect in class PdfObjectWrapper<PdfDictionary>

Returns:

true if in the resultant document the object behind the wrapper must be indirect, otherwise false.

registerLayer

protected void registerLayer(PdfLayer layer)

This method registers a new layer in the OCProperties.

Parameters:

layer - the new layer

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if layer param is null

getDocument

protected PdfDocument getDocument()

Gets the PdfDocument that owns that OCProperties.

Returns:

the PdfDocument that owns that OCProperties
