Detailed Description

Number tree is a kind of common data structure in PDF. A number tree is similar to a number tree, except that keys in a number tree are integers instead of strings and are sorted in ascending numerical order. Number tree has following characteristics:

  • key integers in a number tree are sorted in ascending numerical order and each key integer in the same number tree is unique;
  • values associated with the key integers may be objects of any type, depending on the purpose of the number tree;
  • number tree can represent an arbitrarily large collection of key-value pairs, which can be looked up efficiently without requiring the entire data structure to be read from the PDF file.

Class PDFNumberTree is used to be associated with an existing number tree with specified type or create one. It offers functions to get key-value pairs in the number tree, and set/add/remove any key-value pair. Currently, class PDFNumberTree can be associated with following number tree defined in PDF document:

  • Page labels number tree (with type FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.e_PageLabels ), which defines the page labeling for the document. The keys in this tree are page indexes; the corresponding values are page label dictionaries (Please refer to <PDF Renferece 1.7> P594 Section 8.3.1, "Page Labels"). Each page index denotes the first page in a labeling range to which the specified page label dictionary applies. The tree must include a value for page index 0.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PDFNumberTree()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.PDFNumberTree (   other)

Constructor, with another PDF number tree object.

Parameters
[in]otherAnother PDF number tree object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetObj()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.GetObj (   number)

Get the value (as PDF object) of a specified key integer.

Parameters
[in]numberAn integer as the key.
Returns
A PDFObject object. The type of returned PDF object depends on the purpose of current number tree. Please refer to comment of class PDFNumberTree for more details. If not found, this function will return null.

◆ GetType()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.GetType ( )

Get the type of current number tree.

Returns
Type of current number tree. Please refer to values starting from FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.e_PageLabels and this would be one of these values.

◆ HasNumber()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.HasNumber (   number)

Check if the specified key integer exists in current number tree.

Parameters
[in]numberAn integer that represents the key to be checked.
Returns
true means the specified integer exists in current number tree, and false means the specified integer does not exist in current number tree.

◆ IsEmpty()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.IsEmpty ( )

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.

◆ RemoveAllObjs()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.RemoveAllObjs ( )

Remove all key integers from current number tree, along with theirs value (as PDF object).

Returns
true means success, while false means failure.

◆ RemoveObj()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.RemoveObj (   number)

Remove a key integer from current number tree, along with its value (as PDF object).

If the input key integer does not exist in current number tree, this function will return true directly.

Parameters
[in]numberAn integer as the key to be removed.
Returns
true means success, while false means failure.

◆ SetObj()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython3.PDFNumberTree.SetObj (   number,
  pdf_object 
)

Set the value (as PDF object) of a specified key integer. If the key integer does not exist, it will be added to current number tree with the value.

Parameters
[in]numberAn integer as the key.
[in]pdf_objectA PDF object to be set as the key's value. It should not be null. The type of this PDF object should match current number tree; otherwise, the input PDF object is invalid. Please refer to comment of class PDFNumberTree for more details.
User should not release this PDF object after this function succeeds.
Returns
true means success, while false means failure.
