Detailed Description

A PDF file can refer to the contents of another file by using a file specification. File specification can simply represents the file path of another file, or represents the whole content of another file, which is embedded to current PDF file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FileSpec() [1/3]

foxit.pdf.FileSpec.FileSpec ( PDFDoc  document)
inline

Constructor.

This constructor is to construct a new FileSpec object (without any data).

Parameters
documentA valid PDF document object, to which the new FileSpec object will belongs.

◆ FileSpec() [2/3]

foxit.pdf.FileSpec.FileSpec ( PDFDoc  document,
PDFObject  pdf_object 
)
inline

Constructor, from an existing file specification PDF object in a PDF document.

Parameters
documentA valid PDF document object, to which the file specification PDF object belongs.
pdf_objectA valid PDF object which represents an existing FileSpec object in the PDF document. It should be either a dictionary object or a PDF reference object:

If it is a PDF dictionary object, it should be a file specification dictionary.
If it is a PDF reference object, it should refer to a file specification dictionary.
This PDF object can be retrieved from PDFNameTree in type e_EmbeddedFiles.

◆ FileSpec() [3/3]

foxit.pdf.FileSpec.FileSpec ( FileSpec  other)
inline

Constructor, with another FileSpec object.

Parameters
otherAnother FileSpec object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Embed() [1/2]

bool foxit.pdf.FileSpec.Embed ( string  file_path)
inline

Embed the whole content of a file which is specified by file path.

When this function succeeds, the whole content of specified file will be embedded to the PDF document that current file specification belongs to.

Parameters
file_pathA full path of an existing local file.
Returns
true means success, while false means failure.

◆ Embed() [2/2]

bool foxit.pdf.FileSpec.Embed ( PDFObject  pdf_object)
inline

(Only support in PDF 2.0) Embed the whole content of a PDF stream object or a PDF reference object which refers to a PDF stream object, when current file specification object is used as an associated file.

When this function succeeds, the whole content of specified PDF stream object will be embedded to the PDF document that current file specification belongs to.

Parameters
pdf_objectA valid PDF object. It should be either a PDF stream object or a PDF reference object which refers to a PDF stream object.
Returns
true means success, while false means failure.

◆ ExportToFile()

bool foxit.pdf.FileSpec.ExportToFile ( string  path)
inline

Export the file data that represented in current file specification directly into a file.

Parameters
pathA full path of a file to which the data will be saved.
Returns
true means success, while false means failure.

◆ GetAssociteFileRelationship()

AssociatedFiles.Relationship foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetAssociteFileRelationship ( )
inline

(Only supported in PDF 2.0) Get the associated file relationship when current file specification is used as an associated file.

Returns
The associated file relationship. Please refer to e_RelationshipXXX values and it would be one of these values.

◆ GetChecksum()

string foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetChecksum ( )
inline

Get the checksum for embedded file.

This function is only useful when current file specification object represents an embedded file. A 16-byte string that is the checksum of the bytes of the uncompressed embedded file. The checksum is calculated by applying the standard MD5 message-digest algorithm to the bytes of the embedded file stream.
If current file specification object does not represent an embedded file, this function will return an empty string.

Returns
The checksum string.

◆ GetCreationDateTime()

DateTime foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetCreationDateTime ( )
inline

Get creation date and time about when the embedded file was created.

This function is only useful when current file specification object represents an embedded file. If current file specification object does not represent an embedded file, this function will return a DateTime object will all value 0.

Returns
The creation date time of embedded file.

◆ GetDescription()

string foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetDescription ( )
inline

Get the descriptive text associated with current file specification.

Returns
The descriptive text.

◆ GetDict()

PDFDictionary foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetDict ( )
inline

Get the PDF dictionary of current file specification.

Returns
A PDF dictionary object.

◆ GetFileData()

FileReaderCallback foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetFileData ( )
inline

Get the file data of embedded file.

Returns
A ReaderCallback object. User can call functions in class ReaderCallback to read the file data.

◆ GetFileName()

string foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetFileName ( )
inline

Get the file name.

Returns
The file name. If no file name can be found, this function will return an empty string.

◆ GetFileSize()

long foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetFileSize ( )
inline

Get the size of embedded file.

This function is only useful when current file specification object represents an embedded file. If current file specification object does not represent an embedded file, this function will return 0 directly.

Returns
File size of embedded file.

◆ GetModifiedDateTime()

DateTime foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetModifiedDateTime ( )
inline

Get modified date and time about when the embedded file was last modified.

This function is only useful when current file specification object represents an embedded file. If current file specification object does not represent an embedded file, this function will return a DateTime object will all value 0.

Returns
The modified date time of embedded file.

◆ GetSubtype()

string foxit.pdf.FileSpec.GetSubtype ( )
inline

(Only support in PDF 2.0) Get the MIME type value for "Subtype" key for embedded file when current file specification is used as an associated file.

This function is only useful when current file specification object represents an embedded file and used as associated file.

Returns
The subtype string.

◆ IsEmbedded()

bool foxit.pdf.FileSpec.IsEmbedded ( )
inline

Check whether current file specification object represents an embedded file or not.

Returns
true means current file specification object represent an embedded file. false means current file specification object does not represent an embedded file.

◆ IsEmpty()

bool foxit.pdf.FileSpec.IsEmpty ( )
