  • Method Details

    • getOCProperties

      public PdfOCProperties getOCProperties (boolean createIfNotExists)
      Use this method to get the Optional Content Properties Dictionary. Note that if you call this method, then the PdfDictionary with OCProperties will be generated from PdfOCProperties object right before closing the PdfDocument, so if you want to make low-level changes in Pdf structures themselves (PdfArray, PdfDictionary, etc), then you should address directly those objects, e.g.: PdfCatalog pdfCatalog = pdfDoc.getCatalog(); PdfDictionary ocProps = pdfCatalog.getAsDictionary(PdfName.OCProperties); // manipulate with ocProps. Also note that this method is implicitly called when creating a new PdfLayer instance, so you should either use hi-level logic of operating with layers, or manipulate low-level Pdf objects by yourself.
      Parameters:
      createIfNotExists - true to create new /OCProperties entry in catalog if not exists, false to return null if /OCProperties entry in catalog is not present.
      Returns:
      the Optional Content Properties Dictionary

    • 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.
