Class ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy

java.lang.Object

com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

IStreamCompressionStrategy

       public class ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy extends Object implements IStreamCompressionStrategy
      

A compression strategy that uses the ASCIIHexDecode filter for PDF streams.

This strategy implements the IStreamCompressionStrategy interface and provides ASCIIHexDecode encoding.

The strategy ensures, that streams are saved using just 7-bit ASCII characters, but it doubles the sizes of streams compared to just saving them as-is. So calling this a "compression strategy" is a misnomer.

Constructor Details

ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy

             public ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy()
            

Constructs a new ASCIIHexCompressionStrategy instance.

Method Details

getFilterName

             public PdfName getFilterName()
            

Returns the name of the compression filter.

Specified by:

getFilterName in interface IStreamCompressionStrategy

Returns:

PdfName.ASCIIHexDecode representing the ASCIIHexDecode filter

getDecodeParams

             public PdfObject getDecodeParams()
            

Returns the decode parameters for the ASCIIHexDecode filter.

This implementation returns null as no special decode parameters are required for standard ASCIIHex compression.

Specified by:

getDecodeParams in interface IStreamCompressionStrategy

Returns:

null as no decode parameters are needed

createNewOutputStream

             public OutputStream createNewOutputStream
             (OutputStream original, PdfStream stream)
            

Creates a new output stream with ASCIIHex compression applied.

This method wraps the original output stream in a ASCIIHexOutputStream that applies ASCIIHex compression.

Specified by:

createNewOutputStream in interface IStreamCompressionStrategy

Parameters:

original - the original output stream to wrap

stream - the PDF stream containing compression configuration

Returns:

a new ASCIIHexOutputStream that compresses data using the ASCIIHex algorithm
