PDF api
Most customers have been asking for
- a low-level PDF object (PdfDecoder) which can be used to interact with PDF files (PDF printing, PDF to image conversion, etc). There are lots of ready-written examples showing how to do this which are documented, full of hints and tips and easily modified.
- a powerful, configurable PDF Viewer (SimpleViewer/MultiViewer). There is also a very basic Viewer example if you wish to build your own. We recommend the highly configurable PDF Viewer examples so please contact us first if you need particular functionality.
If you wish to build something from scratch, the recommended methods for accessing JPedal are the public methods for PdfDecoder, the public methods it inherits, and PdfData. Please contact us if you wish to use other methods.
We reserve the right to alter PDF API public methods but will document any changes and only alter when strictly necessary.
Javadocs
The documentation for the PDF examples and key java classes from JPedal is available here for online viewing or for download in standard javadoc format.
All the useful methods are documented. Some methods are required for use internally - for example PdfDecoder methods needed by Viewer modules - and are not documented. They are included for completeness. If in doubt, please contact us for help.
