Constructor Detail

IndirectObjectFactory

public IndirectObjectFactory(PdfReader reader)

Creates a list that will contain all the indirect objects in a PDF document.

Parameters:

reader - the reader that will read the PDF document

Method Detail

getCurrent

public int getCurrent()

Gets the last object that has been registered. This method only makes sense while loading the factory. with loadNextObject().

Returns:

the number of the last object that was stored

getXRefMaximum

public int getXRefMaximum()

Gets the highest possible object number in the XRef table.

Returns:

an object number

storeNextObject

public boolean storeNextObject()

Stores the next object of the XRef table. As soon as this method returns false, it makes no longer sense calling it as all the objects have been stored.

Returns:

false if there are no objects left to check.

size

public int size()

Gets the total number of indirect objects in the PDF file. This isn't necessarily the same number as returned by getXRefMaximum(). The PDF specification allows gaps between object numbers.

Returns:

the total number of indirect objects in the PDF.

getIndexByRef

public int getIndexByRef(int ref)

Gets the index of an object based on its number in the xref table.

Parameters:

ref - a number in the xref table

Returns:

the index in the list of indirect objects

getRefByIndex

public int getRefByIndex(int i)

Gets the reference number in the xref table based on the index in the indirect object list.

Parameters:

i - the index of an object in the indirect object list

Returns:

the corresponding reference number in the xref table

getObjectByIndex

public PdfObject getObjectByIndex(int i)

Gets an object based on its index in the indirect object list.

Parameters:

i - an index in the indirect object list

Returns:

a PDF object

getObjectByReference

public PdfObject getObjectByReference(int ref)

Gets an object based on its reference number in the xref table.

Parameters:

ref - a number in the xref table

Returns:

a PDF object

loadObjectByReference

public PdfObject loadObjectByReference(int ref)

Loads an object based on its reference number in the xref table.

Parameters:

ref - a reference number in the xref table.

Returns:

a PDF object
