Overview

Represents a page of a PDF document.

A page object contains the meta information for a page. Most of the fields are independent from the page’s content like the /Dur field. However, some of them (like /Resources or /UserUnit) influence how or if the page’s content can be rendered correctly.

A number of field values can also be inherited: /Resources, /MediaBox, /CropBox, /Rotate. Field inheritance means that if a field is not set on the page object itself, the value is taken from the nearest page tree ancestor that has this value set.

Constructor Details

Instance Method Details

#[](name) ⇒ Object

Returns the value for the entry name.

If name is an inheritable value and the value has not been set on the page object, its value is retrieved from the ancestor page tree nodes.

    node[name] || super
  else
    super
  end
end

#box(type = :media) ⇒ Object

Returns the rectangle defining a certain kind of box for the page.

This method should be used instead of directly accessing any of /MediaBox, /CropBox, /BleedBox, /ArtBox or /TrimBox because it also takes the fallback values into account!

The following types are allowed:

:media

The media box defines the boundaries of the medium the page is to be printed on.

:crop

The crop box defines the region to which the contents of the page should be clipped when it is displayed or printed. The default is the media box.

:bleed

The bleed box defines the region to which the contents of the page should be clipped when output in a production environment. The default is the crop box.

:trim

The trim box defines the intended dimensions of the page after trimming. The default value is the crop box.

:art

The art box defines the region of the page’s meaningful content as intended by the author. The default is the crop box.

    raise ArgumentError, "Unsupported page box type provided: #{type}"
  end
end

#canvas(type: :page) ⇒ Object

Returns the requested type of canvas for the page.

The canvas object is cached once it is created so that its graphics state is correctly retained without the need for parsing its contents.

type

Can either be

  • :page for getting the canvas for the page itself (only valid for initially empty pages)

  • :overlay for getting the canvas for drawing over the page contents

  • :underlay for getting the canvas for drawing unter the page contents

#contents ⇒ Object

Returns the concatenated stream data from the content streams as binary string.

Note: Any modifications done to the returned value *won’t* be reflected in any of the streams’ data!

  end
end

#contents=(data) ⇒ Object

Replaces the contents of the page with the given string.

This is done by deleting all but the first content stream and reusing this content stream; or by creating a new one if no content stream exists.

  end
end

#copy_inherited_values ⇒ Object

Copies the page’s inherited values from the ancestor page tree nodes into a hash and returns the hash.

The hash can then be used to update the page itself (e.g. when moving a page from one position to another) or another page (e.g. when importing a page from another document).

#must_be_indirect? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true since page objects must always be indirect.

Returns:

end

Returns the resource dictionary which is automatically created if it doesn’t exist.

def resources
  self[:Resources] ||= document.wrap({}, type: :XXResources)
end

#to_form_xobject(reference: true) ⇒ Object

Creates a Form XObject from the page’s dictionary and contents for the given PDF document.

If reference is true, the page’s contents is referenced when possible to avoid unnecessary decoding/encoding.

Note 1: The created Form XObject is not added to the document automatically!

Note 2: If reference is false and if a canvas is used on this page (see #canvas), this method should only be called once the contents of the page has been fully defined. The reason is that during the copying of the content stream data the contents may be modified to make it a fully valid content stream.
