Constructor Detail

PdfFormXObject

public PdfFormXObject(Rectangle bBox)

Creates a new instance of Form XObject.

Parameters:

bBox - the form XObject’s bounding box.

PdfFormXObject

public PdfFormXObject(PdfStream pdfStream)

Create PdfFormXObject instance by PdfStream. Note, this constructor doesn't perform any additional checks

Parameters:

pdfStream - PdfStream with Form XObject.

PdfXObject.makeXObject(PdfStream)

PdfFormXObject

public PdfFormXObject(PdfPage page)

Creates form XObject from page content. The page shall be from the document, to which FormXObject will be added.

Parameters:

page - an instance of PdfPage

PdfFormXObject

public PdfFormXObject(WmfImageData image,
                      PdfDocument pdfDocument)

Creates a form XObject from WmfImageData. Unlike other images, WmfImageData images are represented as PdfFormXObject, not as PdfImageXObject.

Parameters:

image - image to create form object from

pdfDocument - document instance which is needed for writing form stream contents

Method Detail

getResources

public PdfResources getResources()

Gets PdfResources of the Form XObject. Note, if there is no resources, a new instance will be created.

Returns:

not null instance of PdfResources.

getBBox

public PdfArray getBBox()

Gets Form XObject's BBox, PdfName.BBox key.

Returns:

a PdfArray, that represents Rectangle.

setBBox

public PdfFormXObject setBBox(PdfArray bBox)

Sets Form XObject's BBox, PdfName.BBox key.

Parameters:

bBox - a PdfArray, that represents Rectangle.

Returns:

object itself.

setGroup

public PdfFormXObject setGroup(PdfTransparencyGroup transparency)

Sets a group attributes dictionary indicating that the contents of the form XObject shall be treated as a group and specifying the attributes of that group. PdfName.Group key.

Parameters:

transparency - instance of PdfTransparencyGroup.

Returns:

object itself.

See Also:

PdfTransparencyGroup

getWidth

public float getWidth()

Gets width based on XObject's BBox.

Overrides:

getWidth in class PdfXObject

Returns:

float value.

getHeight

public float getHeight()

Gets height based on XObject's BBox.

Overrides:

getHeight in class PdfXObject

Returns:

float value.

flush

public void flush()

To manually flush a PdfObject behind this wrapper, you have to ensure that this object is added to the document, i.e. it has an indirect reference. Basically this means that before flushing you need to explicitly call PdfObjectWrapper.makeIndirect(PdfDocument). For example: wrapperInstance.makeIndirect(document).flush(); Note that not every wrapper require this, only those that have such warning in documentation.

Overrides:

flush in class PdfObjectWrapper<PdfStream>
