NAME

6       PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits
7       from PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Objind
8

INSTANCE VARIABLES

10       There are various special instance variables which are used to look
11       after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:
12
13       ' stream'
14           Holds the stream contents for output
15
16       ' streamfile'
17           Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in
18           memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is
19           stored in its unfiltered form.
20
21       ' streamloc'
22           If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where
23           in the source PDF the stream starts.

METHODS

26   $type = $d->type($type)
27       Get/Set the standard Type key. It can be passed, and will return, a
28       text value rather than a Name object.
29
30   @filters = $d->filter(@filters)
31       Get/Set one or more filters being used by the optional stream attached
32       to the dictionary.
33
34   $d->outobjdeep($fh, $pdf)
35       Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a
36       recursive call.
37
38       It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If
39       this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
40       and insert it into the stream's dictionary.
41
42   $d->read_stream($force_memory)
43       Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than
44       "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
45       default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that
46       file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
47       occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'}
48       variable.
49
50   $d->val()
51       Returns the dictionary, which is itself.
