Method Detail

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

Returns the text.

Returns:

the text

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String text)

Sets the text.

Parameters:

text - the text

toPDFString

protected java.lang.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

escapeText

public static final java.lang.String escapeText(java.lang.String text)

Escape text (see 4.4.1 in PDF 1.3 specs)

Parameters:

text - the text to encode

Returns:

encoded text

escapeText

public static final java.lang.String escapeText(java.lang.String text,
                          boolean forceHexMode)

Escape text (see 4.4.1 in PDF 1.3 specs)

Parameters:

text - the text to encode

forceHexMode - true if the output should follow the hex encoding rules

Returns:

encoded text

toHex

public static final java.lang.String toHex(byte[] data,
                     boolean brackets)

Converts a byte array to a Hexadecimal String (3.2.3 in PDF 1.4 specs)

Parameters:

data - the data to encode

brackets - true if enclosing brackets should be included

Returns:

String the resulting string

toHex

public static final java.lang.String toHex(byte[] data)

Converts a byte array to a Hexadecimal String (3.2.3 in PDF 1.4 specs)

Parameters:

data - the data to encode

Returns:

String the resulting string

toUTF16

public static final byte[] toUTF16(java.lang.String text)

Converts a String to UTF-16 (big endian).

Parameters:

text - text to convert

Returns:

byte[] UTF-16 stream

toUnicodeHex

public static final java.lang.String toUnicodeHex(char c)

Returns:

the encoded character

escapeString

public static final java.lang.String escapeString(java.lang.String s)

Escaped a String as described in section 4.4 in the PDF 1.3 specs.

Parameters:

s - String to escape

Returns:

escapeStringChar

public static final void escapeStringChar(char c,
                    java.lang.StringBuffer target)

Escapes a character conforming to the rules established in the PostScript Language Reference (Search for "Literal Text Strings").

Parameters:

c - character to escape

target - target StringBuffer to write the escaped character to

escapeByteArray

public static final byte[] escapeByteArray(byte[] data)

Escape a byte array for output to PDF (Used for encrypted strings)

Parameters:

data - data to encode

Returns:

byte[] encoded data
