High-level representation of a PDF object that can be referenced also through a name.
Some categories of objects in a PDF file can be also referred to by name rather than by object reference. The correspondence between names and objects is established by the document's name dictionary [PDF:1.6:3.6.3].
The name's purpose is to provide a further level of referential abstraction especially for references across diverse PDF documents.
Property Documentation
PdfDirectObject org.pdfclown.objects.IPdfObjectWrapper.BaseObject [get, inherited] |
Gets the underlying reference object, if available; otherwise, gets the underlying data object.
Implemented in org.pdfclown.objects.PdfObjectWrapper.
Referenced by org.pdfclown.documents.interaction.actions.SetLayerState.LayerStates.Add(), and org.pdfclown.documents.interaction.actions.SetLayerState.LayerStates.Insert().
PdfString org.pdfclown.objects.IPdfNamedObjectWrapper.Name [get] |
Gets the object name.
As names are tipically loosely-coupled with their corresponding PDF objects, name retrieval implies a costly reverse lookup into the document's name tree.
Implemented in org.pdfclown.documents.files.FileSpecification, org.pdfclown.documents.interaction.navigation.document.Destination, and org.pdfclown.documents.multimedia.Rendition.
PdfDirectObject org.pdfclown.objects.IPdfNamedObjectWrapper.NamedBaseObject [get] |
Gets the object name, if available; otherwise, behaves like BaseObject.
Implemented in org.pdfclown.documents.files.FileSpecification, org.pdfclown.documents.interaction.navigation.document.Destination, and org.pdfclown.documents.multimedia.Rendition.
