Text::PDF::Dict(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::PDF::Dict(3)NAMEText::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from
PDF::Objind
INSTANCE VARIABLES
There are various special instance variables which are used to look
after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:
stream
Holds the stream contents for output
streamfile
Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in
memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is
stored in its unfiltered form.
streamloc
If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where
in the source PDF the stream starts.
METHODS
$d->outobjdeep($fh)
Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a
recursive call.
It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If
this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
and insert it into the stream's dictionary.
$d->read_stream($force_memory)
Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than
"PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that
file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'}
variable.
$d->val
Returns the dictionary, which is itself.
$d->copy($inpdf, $res, $unique, $outpdf, %opts)
Copies an object. See Text::PDF::Objind::Copy() for details
