Detailed Description

In order to display page contents in a small screen device, Foxit PDF SDK introduces the concept of "reflow page". In the reflow page, original PDF page contents will be laid out to fit the specified screen size.
For a PDF page, user may wants to keep focusing on a location in the reflow page when user switches between this PDF page and its related reflow page, or switch among these related reflow pages which are in different size. In order to track the focus location, Foxit PDF SDK uses "focus data" to represent the focus location. Focus data is similar to bookmark or destination in PDF, but it is simpler. User can store the focus data (or save the data to file) so that use can retrieved the focus location again by the focus data later, even if the size of reflow page is changed.
A ReflowPage object should be constructed from a parsed PDF page. This class offers functions to:


Start to parse a reflow page by functions ReflowPage::StartParse. Before paring a reflow page, use should use function ReflowPage::SetScreenSize to specify the screen size for the reflow page. User can also use following functions to specify other factors which will affect on the parsing result for the reflow page: ReflowPage::SetZoom, ReflowPage::SetParseFlags, ReflowPage::SetLineSpace, ReflowPage::SetTopSpace. If these function are not called before parsing a reflow page, default values will be used. Please refer to comment of these functions for more details.
Get the actual content size and matrix of a parsed reflow page, by functions ReflowPage::GetContentWidth, ReflowPage::GetContentHeight,ReflowPage::GetDisplayMatrix.
Get the focus data for a specified position in reflow page, by function ReflowPage::GetFocusData, or retrieve the position by a focus data, by function ReflowPage::GetFocusPosition.
To render the reflow page, please use function common::Renderer::StartRenderReflowPage.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flags

Enumeration for parsing flags used for a reflow page.

Values of this enumeration can be used alone or in combination.

Enumerator
e_Normal 

Parsing flag for normal mode, without image.

e_WithImage 

Parsing flag for image mode.

e_NoTruncate 

Parsing flag to decide whether to allow to truncate the first/last image or line of text within the specified screen size or not.

The height of final parsed reflow page may be larger than the actual screen height. In this case, the content of a reflow page would be shown in more than one screen in application.
Application may use following modes to show such reflow page:


Show only part of content of the reflow page in the screen in one time. When user clicks or taps, show the previous or next part of content. This is like to turn to a page in a real book. Here, call this mode as "single screen mode".
Show the reflow page continuously – that means user can scroll the screen to see any part of content in this reflow page. Here, call this mode as "scroll screen mode".
If use "single screen mode" to show a reflow page, a truncate problem may occurs: the first line of text or image just shows the bottom half in the top of the screen, or the last line of text of image just shows the top half in the bottom of the screen. This flag can be set to avoid such problem.
If use "scroll screen mode", no need to use this flag.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ReflowPage()

foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.ReflowPage ( PDFPage  page)
inline

Constructor, from a parsed PDF page.

Parameters
pageA valid PDF page object which has been parsed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetContentHeight()

float foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.GetContentHeight ( )
inline

Get content height after current reflow page object has been parsed.

Returns
Content height.

◆ GetContentWidth()

float foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.GetContentWidth ( )
inline

Get content width after current reflow page object has been parsed.

Returns
Content width.

◆ GetDisplayMatrix()

Matrix2D foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.GetDisplayMatrix ( float  offset_x,
float  offset_y 
)
inline

Get the display matrix, according to the offset of top side between current reflow page and screen.

This function can only be used when reflow page has been parsed.

Parameters
offset_xOffset value, which means the offset from top side of current reflow page to the top side of screen.
offset_yOffset value, which means the offset from left side of current reflow page to the left side of screen.
Returns
The display matrix.

◆ GetFocusData()

string foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.GetFocusData ( Matrix2D  matrix,
PointF  point 
)
inline

Get focus data corresponding to a given position in device coordinate system.

This function can only be used when reflow page has been parsed.
Focus data, similar to bookmark or destination in PDF, is used to locate the position of a specified content in reflow page. For a PDF page, position of a specified content is fixed and will not be changed even if the size of related reflow page is changed. So focus data can be used to locate the same content from a PDF page in its related reflow pages with different sizes but same reflow content.
Usually, user can call function ReflowPage::GetFocusData to get focus data for a specified location, and store the focus data. When the reflow page's size is changed, user can use the stored focus data in function ReflowPage::GetFocusPosition to get the new position and then still focus on or near the same content.

Parameters
matrixA matrix returned by function ReflowPage::GetDisplayMatrix.
pointThe point of a specified position, in device coordinate system.
Returns
The focus data.

◆ GetFocusPosition()

PointF foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.GetFocusPosition ( Matrix2D  matrix,
string  focus_data 
)
inline

Get the position in device coordinate system corresponding to a given focus data.

This function can only be used when reflow page has been parsed.
Focus data, similar to bookmark or destination in PDF, is used to locate the position of a specified content in reflow page. For a PDF page, position of a specified content is fixed and will not be changed even if the size of related reflow page is changed. So focus data can be used to locate the same content from a PDF page in its related reflow pages with different sizes but same reflow content.
Usually, user can call function ReflowPage::GetFocusData to get focus data for a specified location, and store the focus data. When the reflow page's size is changed, user can use the stored focus data in function ReflowPage::GetFocusPosition to get the new position and then still focus on or near the same content.

Parameters
matrixA matrix returned by function ReflowPage::GetDisplayMatrix.
focus_dataFocus data used to get its corresponding position in device coordinate system, with specified matrix. This is retrieved by previous calling of function ReflowPage::GetFocusData.
Returns
The position in device coordinate system.

◆ IsEmpty()

bool foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.IsEmpty ( )
inline

Check whether current object is empty or not.

When the current object is empty, that means current object is useless.

Returns
true means current object is empty, while false means not.

◆ IsParsed()

bool foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.IsParsed ( )
inline

Check if current reflow page has been parsed or not.

Returns
true means current reflow page has been parsed, while false means current page has not been parsed yet.

◆ SetLineSpace()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetLineSpace ( float  line_space)
inline

Set line space. This can be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

Parameters
line_spaceThe line space. This value should between -25 to (height/2).
If no line space is set, value 0 will be used by default.
Returns
None.

◆ SetParseFlags()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetParseFlags ( int  flags)
inline

Set the parsing flag. This can be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

Parameters
flagsParsing flags. Please refer to e_reflowXXXX values and this should be one or a combination of these values. If no parsing flag is set, value e_Normal will be used by default.
Returns

◆ SetScreenMargin()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetScreenMargin ( int  left,
int  top,
int  right,
int  bottom 
)
inline

Set margin. This can be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

If no margin has ever been set to current reflow page, Foxit PDF SDK will use value (0, 0, 0, 0) as default margin.
If new margin is set, the new margin will take effect until current reflow page has been re-parsed and rendered again.

Parameters
leftThe left margin. This value should between 0 and (screen width / 3).
topThe left margin. This value should between 0 and (screen height/ 3).
rightThe left margin. This value should between 0 and (screen width / 3).
bottomThe left margin. This value should between 0 and (screen height / 3).
Returns

◆ SetScreenSize()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetScreenSize ( float  width,
float  height 
)
inline

Set screen size. This should be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

Before paring a reflow page, user should call this function to set the screen size for parsing the reflow page.

Parameters
widthThe screen width.
heightThe screen height.
Returns
None.

◆ SetTopSpace()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetTopSpace ( float  top_space)
inline

Set the top space. This can be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

This function is used to set the distance between the page's top and the screen's top. The distance will take effect when parsing a reflow page.

Parameters
top_spaceThe top space. This value should between 0 and height.
If no top space is set, value 0 will be used by default.
Returns
None.

◆ SetZoom()

void foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.SetZoom ( int  zoom)
inline

Set zoom factor. This can be called before calling function ReflowPage::StartParse.

If no zoom factor has ever been set to current reflow page, Foxit PDF SDK will use value 100 as default zoom factor, which means 100%.
If new zoom factor is set, the new zoom factor will take effect until current reflow page has been re-parsed and rendered again.

Parameters
zoomZoom factor. The value represents the percent value, for example, 100 means 100%. This value should between 25 and

  1. If no zoom factor is set, value 100 will be used by default.
Returns
None.

◆ StartParse()

Progressive foxit.pdf.ReflowPage.StartParse ( PauseCallback  pause)
inline

Start to parse current reflow page.

It may take a long time to parsing a reflow page, so Foxit PDF SDK uses a progressive process to do this. All the resources about reflow page will be loaded after the reflow page is parsed.
This function should be called before any getting function of current reflow page object can be used.

Parameters
pausePause callback object which decides if the parsing process needs to be paused. This can be null which means not to pause during the parsing process. If this is not null, it should be a valid pause object implemented by user.
Returns
A Progressive object. Please check the rate of current progress by function common::Progressive::GetRateOfProgress. If the rate is not 100 yet, call function common::Progressive::Continue to coninue the progress until the progress is finished.
