PDFStructureTree

Namespace: O2S.Components.PDF4NET.LogicalStructure

Defines the logical structure of a document as a hierarchy of PDFStructureElement objects.

public class PDFStructureTree

Inheritance ObjectPDFStructureTree

Constructors

PDFStructureTree()

Initializes a new PDFStructureTree object.

public PDFStructureTree()

Properties

AttributeClassMap

Gets or sets the attributes class map.

public PDFAttributeClassMap AttributeClassMap { get; set; }

Property Value

PDFAttributeClassMap
A PDFAttributeClassMap object that maps names to attribute objects.


IdentifierMap

Gets or sets the identifiers map.

public PDFIdMap IdentifierMap { get; set; }

Property Value

PDFIdMap
A PDFIdMap object that maps identifiers to structure elements.

Remarks

If the PDFStructureElement.ID property is set on a PDFStructureElement object, then a PDFIdMap must be created and the PDFStructureElement.ID must be mapped to the corresponding PDFStructureElement object.


RoleMap

Gets or sets the roles map.

public PDFRoleMap RoleMap { get; set; }

Property Value

PDFRoleMap
A PDFRoleMap object that maps structure types used in this document to their approximate equivalents in the set of standard structure types.


StructureElements

Gets or sets the child or children structure elements.

public IPDFStructureElement StructureElements { get; set; }

Property Value

IPDFStructureElement
A root structure element or a collection of structure elements representing the roots of the structure tree.


Methods

MapObjectReference(PDFImage, PDFStructureElement)

Adds a mapping between an image and a structure element.

public void MapObjectReference(PDFImage image, PDFStructureElement structureElement)

Parameters

image PDFImage
The image that acts as a content item for the structure element.

structureElement PDFStructureElement
The structure element that has a PDFObjectReference as children, object reference that points to the image.

Remarks

This method needs to be called when a structure element uses an entire PDF object as content item through a PDFObjectReference.


MapObjectReference(PDFFormXObject, PDFStructureElement)

Adds a mapping between a form XObject and a structure element.

public void MapObjectReference(PDFFormXObject formXObject, PDFStructureElement structureElement)

Parameters

formXObject PDFFormXObject
The form XObject that acts as a content item for the structure element.

structureElement PDFStructureElement
The structure element that has a PDFObjectReference as children, object reference that points to the form XObject.

Remarks

This method needs to be called when a structure element uses an entire PDF object as content item through a PDFObjectReference.


MapObjectReference(PDFAnnotation, PDFStructureElement)

Adds a mapping between an annotation and a structure element.

public void MapObjectReference(PDFAnnotation annotation, PDFStructureElement structureElement)

Parameters

annotation PDFAnnotation
The annotation that acts as a content item for the structure element.

structureElement PDFStructureElement
The structure element that has a PDFObjectReference as child, object reference that points to the annotation.

Remarks

This method needs to be called when a structure element uses an entire PDF object, such as an annotation, as content item through a PDFObjectReference.
