Class PDFGoTo

All Implemented Interfaces:
PDFWritable

public class PDFGoTo extends PDFAction
class representing a /GoTo object. This can either have a Goto to a page reference and location or to a specified PDF reference string.
  • Constructor Details

    • PDFGoTo

      public PDFGoTo(String destination, boolean isNamedDestination)
      create a /GoTo object.
      Parameters:
      destination - name of the destination
      isNamedDestination - set to true if the destination is a named destination
    • PDFGoTo

      public PDFGoTo(String pageReference)
      create a /GoTo object.
      Parameters:
      pageReference - the pageReference represented by this object
    • PDFGoTo

      public PDFGoTo(String pageReference, Point2D position)
      create a /GoTo object.
      Parameters:
      pageReference - the PDF reference to the target page
      position - the target area's on-page coordinates in points
  • Method Details

    • setPageReference

      public void setPageReference(PDFReference pageReference)
      Sets page reference after object has been created
      Parameters:
      pageReference - the new page reference to use
    • setPosition

      public void setPosition(Point2D position)
      Sets the target (X,Y) position
      Parameters:
      position - the target's on-page coordinates in points
    • setXPosition

      public void setXPosition(float xPosition)
      Sets the x Position to jump to
      Parameters:
      xPosition - x position
    • setYPosition

      public void setYPosition(float yPosition)
      Sets the Y position to jump to
      Parameters:
      yPosition - y position
    • setDestination

      public void setDestination(String dest)
      Set the destination string for this Goto.
      Parameters:
      dest - the PDF destination string
    • getAction

      public String getAction()
      Get the PDF reference for the GoTo action.
      Specified by:
      getAction in class PDFAction
      Returns:
      the PDF reference for the action
    • toPDFString

      public String toPDFString()
      This method returns a String representation of the PDF object. The result is normally converted/encoded to a byte array by toPDF(). Only use this method to implement the serialization if the object can be fully represented as text. If the PDF representation of the object contains binary content use toPDF() or output(OutputStream) instead. This applies to any object potentially containing a string object because string object are encrypted and therefore need to be binary.
      Overrides:
      toPDFString in class PDFObject
      Returns:
      String the String representation
    • contentEquals

      protected boolean contentEquals(PDFObject obj)
      Check if the other PDFObject has the same content as the current object.

      Note: This function has a contract which is less binding than Object.equals(Object). Whereas equals would require all values to be identical, this method is not required to check everything. In the case of PDFObjects, this means that the overriding function does not have to check for PDFObject.getObjectID().

      Overrides:
      contentEquals in class PDFObject
      Parameters:
      obj - object to compare to.
      Returns:
      true if the other object has the same content.
