PDFString($text, $usage)¶
Returns either PDFStr($text) or PDFUtf($text), depending on whether $text is already in UTF-8 and whether the $usage permits UTF-8. If UTF-8 is not permitted, "downgrade" will be called on a UTF-8 formatted $text.
$usage is a single character string indicating the use for which $text is to be applied. Some uses permit UTF-8, while others (currently) forbid it:
- 's'
- An ordinary string, where UTF-8 text is permitted.
- 'n'
- A named destination, where UTF-8 text is permitted.
- 'o'
- An outline title, where UTF-8 text is permitted.
- 'p'
- A popup title, where UTF-8 text is permitted.
- 'm'
- metadata, where UTF-8 text is permitted.
- 'f'
- A file path and/or name, where UTF-8 text is currently not permitted.
- 'u'
- A URL, where UTF-8 text is currently not permitted.
- 'x'
- Any other usage where UTF-8 text is not permitted.
