Method Detail

resetContent

public void resetContent(boolean iBoolIncludeRotate)

reset the content to the beginning to start another pass through all components.

Parameters:

iBoolIncludeRotate - true to include viewer rotation for returning coordinates.

public void reset(boolean iBoolIncludeRotate)

reset the content to the beginning to start another pass through all components.

Parameters:

iBoolIncludeRotate - true to include viewer rotation for returning coordinates.

reset

public void reset()

reset the content to the beginning to start another pass through all components

getGraphicsState

public GraphicsState getGraphicsState()

get current graphics state information;

Returns:

the interface of the current graphics state; This information is invalidated by the next call to getNextObject, getNextText, getNextImage, or getNextPath

getText

public Text getText()

get current text item.

Returns:

the current text item. This information is invalidated when reading the next text item.

getImage

public Image getImage()

get the image data.

Returns:

getPath

public java.lang.String getPath()

get the content stream making up the current path

Returns:

string the bytes of the content stream making up the current path

setBreakWords

public void setBreakWords(int iBoolOn)

Set break words to control the way how the text extraction algorithm works.

Parameters:

iBoolOn - true: a word breaking character such as a blank is found or the character spacing exceeds the blank character width the text objects are split up into individual text objects without blanks. False: Line breaking characters are treated the same as other characters and character spacing is disregarded.
