Constructor Detail

PDFLink

public PDFLink(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D r)

create objects associated with a link annotation (GoToR)

Parameters:

r - the rectangle of the link hotspot in absolute coordinates

Method Detail

setAction

public void setAction(PDFAction action)

Set the pdf action for this link.

Parameters:

action - the pdf action that is activated for this link

toPDFString

public 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

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Check if this equals another object.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare

Returns:

true if this equals other object
