NAME¶
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Name - Inherits from PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::String and
stores PDF names (things beginning with /)
METHODS¶
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Name->from_pdf($string)¶
Creates a new string object (not a full object yet) from a given string. The
string is parsed according to input criteria with escaping working, particular
to Names.
$n->convert ($str, $pdf)¶
Converts a name into a string by removing the / and converting any hex munging.
$s->as_pdf ($pdf)¶
Returns a name formatted as PDF. $pdf is optional but should be the PDF File
object for which the name is intended if supplied.
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Name->string_to_name ($str, $pdf)¶
Suitably encode the string $str for output in the File object $pdf (the exact
format may depend on the version of $pdf).
Note: This function only encodes names properly for PDF version 1.2 and higher.
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Name->name_to_string ($str, $pdf)¶
Suitably decode the string $str as read from the File object $pdf (the exact
decoding may depend on the version of $pdf). Principally, undo the hex
encoding for PDF versions > 1.1.
