Class HexStringObject

java.lang.Object
  org.icepdf.core.pobjects.HexStringObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

StringObject

public class HexStringObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements StringObject

This class represents a PDF Hexadecimal String Object. Hexadecimal String objects are written as a sequence of literal characters enclosed in angled brackets <>.

Since:

2.0

Constructor Summary

HexStringObject(byte[] bytes)
Creates a new hexadecimal string object so that it represents the same sequence of bytes as in the bytes argument.

HexStringObject(java.lang.StringBuilder stringBuffer)
Creates a new hexadecimal string object so that it represents the same sequence of character data specified by the argument.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getDecryptedLiteralString(SecurityManager securityManager) Gets the decrypted literal string value of the data using the key provided by the security manager.
java.lang.String	getHexString() Gets a hexadecimal String representation of this object's data, which is in fact, the raw data contained in this object
java.lang.StringBuilder	getHexStringBuffer() Gets a hexadecimal StringBuffer representation of this object's data, which is in fact the raw data contained in this object.
int	getLength() The length of the underlying objects data.
java.lang.String	getLiteralString() Gets a literal String representation of this object's data.
java.lang.StringBuilder	getLiteralStringBuffer() Gets a literal StringBuffer representation of this object's data.
java.lang.StringBuilder	getLiteralStringBuffer(int fontFormat, FontFile font) Gets a literal String representation of this object's data using the specifed font and format.
Reference	getReference() Sets the parent PDF object's reference.
int	getUnsignedInt(int start, int offset) Gets the integer value of the hexidecimal data specified by the start and offset parameters.
void	setReference(Reference reference) Sets the parent PDF object's reference.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.

Constructor Detail

HexStringObject

public HexStringObject(byte[] bytes)

Creates a new hexadecimal string object so that it represents the same sequence of bytes as in the bytes argument. In other words, the initial content of the hexadecimal string is the characters represented by the byte data.

Parameters:

bytes - array of bytes which will be interpreted as hexadecimal data.

HexStringObject

public HexStringObject(java.lang.StringBuilder stringBuffer)

Creates a new hexadecimal string object so that it represents the same sequence of character data specified by the argument. This constructor should only be used in the context of the parser which has leading and ending angled brackets which are removed by this method.

Parameters:

stringBuffer - the initial contents of the hexadecimal string object

Method Detail

getUnsignedInt

public int getUnsignedInt(int start,
                          int offset)

Gets the integer value of the hexidecimal data specified by the start and offset parameters.

Specified by:

getUnsignedInt in interface StringObject

Parameters:

start - the begining index, inclusive

offset - the length of bytes to process

Returns:

unsigned integer value of the specifed data range

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. The hex data is converted to an equivalent string representation

Specified by:

toString in interface StringObject

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representing the object.

getHexString

public java.lang.String getHexString()

Gets a hexadecimal String representation of this object's data, which is in fact, the raw data contained in this object

Specified by:

getHexString in interface StringObject

Returns:

a String representation of the object's data in hexadecimal notation.

getHexStringBuffer

public java.lang.StringBuilder getHexStringBuffer()

Gets a hexadecimal StringBuffer representation of this object's data, which is in fact the raw data contained in this object.

Specified by:

getHexStringBuffer in interface StringObject

Returns:

a StringBufffer representation of the objects data in hexadecimal.

getLiteralStringBuffer

public java.lang.StringBuilder getLiteralStringBuffer()

Gets a literal StringBuffer representation of this object's data. The hexadecimal data is converted to an equivalent string representation

Specified by:

getLiteralStringBuffer in interface StringObject

Returns:

a StringBuffer representation of the object's data.

getLiteralString

public java.lang.String getLiteralString()

Gets a literal String representation of this object's data. The hexadecimal data is converted to an equivalent string representation.

Specified by:

getLiteralString in interface StringObject

Returns:

a String representation of the object's data.

getLiteralStringBuffer

public java.lang.StringBuilder getLiteralStringBuffer(int fontFormat,
                                                      FontFile font)

Gets a literal String representation of this object's data using the specifed font and format. The font is used to verify that the specific character codes can be rendered; if they can not, they may be removed or combined with the next character code to get a displayable character code.

Specified by:

getLiteralStringBuffer in interface StringObject

Parameters:

fontFormat - the type of font which will be used to display the text. Valid values are CID_FORMAT and SIMPLE_FORMAT for Adobe Composite and Simple font types respectively

font - font used to render the literal string data.

Returns:

StringBuffer which contains all renderaable characters for the given font.

getLength

public int getLength()

The length of the underlying objects data.

Specified by:

getLength in interface StringObject

Returns:

length of object's data.

setReference

public void setReference(Reference reference)

Sets the parent PDF object's reference.

Specified by:

setReference in interface StringObject

Parameters:

reference - parent object reference.

getReference

public Reference getReference()

Sets the parent PDF object's reference.

Specified by:

getReference in interface StringObject

Returns:

returns the reference used for encryption.

getDecryptedLiteralString

public java.lang.String getDecryptedLiteralString(SecurityManager securityManager)

Gets the decrypted literal string value of the data using the key provided by the security manager.

Specified by:

getDecryptedLiteralString in interface StringObject

Parameters:

securityManager - security manager associated with parent document.

Returns:

decrypted stream.
