Class Method Details

.pdf_object(obj, in_content_stream = false) ⇒ Object

Serializes Ruby objects to their PDF equivalents. Most primitive objects will work as expected, but please note that Name objects are represented by Ruby Symbol objects and Dictionary objects are represented by Ruby hashes (keyed by symbols)

Examples:

   pdf_object(true)      #=> "true"
   pdf_object(false)     #=> "false"
   pdf_object(1.2124)    #=> "1.2124"
   pdf_object('foo bar') #=> "(foo bar)"
   pdf_object(:Symbol)   #=> "/Symbol"
   pdf_object(['foo',:bar, [1,2]]) #=> "[foo /bar [1 2]]"

.string_to_hex(str) ⇒ Object

encodes any string into a hex representation. The result is a string with only 0-9 and a-f characters. That result is valid ASCII so tag it as such to account for behaviour of different ruby VMs
