Defined in:

Overview

Provides low level access to the objects in a PDF file via a hash-like object.

A PDF file can be viewed as a large hash map. It is a series of objects stored at precise byte offsets, and a table that maps object IDs to byte offsets. Given an object ID, looking up an object is an O(1) operation.

Each PDF object can be mapped to a ruby object, so by passing an object ID to the [] method, a ruby representation of that object will be retrieved.

The class behaves much like a standard Ruby hash, including the use of the Enumerable mixin. The key difference is no []= method - the hash is read only.

Basic Usage

h = PDF::Reader::ObjectHash.new("somefile.pdf")
h[1]
=> 3469

h[PDF::Reader::Reference.new(1,0)]
=> 3469

Constructor Details

#initialize(input, opts = {}) ⇒ ObjectHash

Creates a new ObjectHash object. Input can be a string with a valid filename or an IO-like object.

Valid options:

:password - the user password to decrypt the source PDF

Instance Method Details

#[](key) ⇒ Object

Access an object from the PDF. key can be an int or a PDF::Reader::Reference object.

If an int is used, the object with that ID and a generation number of 0 will be returned.

If a PDF::Reader::Reference object is used the exact ID and generation number can be specified.

    @cache[key] = object_streams[container_key][key.id]
  end
rescue InvalidObjectError
  return default
end

#deref!(key) ⇒ Object

Recursively dereferences the object refered to be key. If key is not a PDF::Reader::Reference, the key is returned unchanged.
