class HexaPDF::Document::Files

Parent	Object
Included Modules	Enumerable

This class provides methods for managing file specifications of a PDF file.

Note that for a given PDF file not all file specifications may be found, e.g. when a file specification is only a string. Therefore this module can only handle those file specifications that are indirect file specification dictionaries with the /Type key set.

Public Class Methods

new(document)¶

Creates a new Files object for the given PDF document.

Public Instance Methods

add(filename, name: nil, description: nil, embed: true) → file_spec ¶

add(io, name:, description: nil) → file_spec ¶

Adds the file or IO to the PDF document and returns the corresponding file specification object.

Options:

name

The name that should be used for the file path. This name is also used for registering the file in the EmbeddedFiles name tree.

When a filename is given, the basename of the file is used by default for name if it is not specified.

description

A description of the file.

mime_type

The MIME type that should be set for embedded files (so only used if embed is true).

embed

When an IO object is given, it is always embedded and this option is ignored.

When a filename is given and this option is true, then the file is embedded. Otherwise only a reference to it is stored.

See: HexaPDF::Type::FileSpecification

each(search: false) {|file_spec| block } → files ¶

each(search: false) → Enumerator ¶

Iterates over indirect file specification dictionaries of the PDF.

By default, only the file specifications in their standard locations, i.e. in the EmbeddedFiles name tree and in the page annotations, are returned. If the search option is true, then all indirect objects are searched for file specification dictionaries which can be much slower.
