Method Detail

copy

public static ContentElement copy(Document targetDocument,
                                  ContentElement contentElement)
                           throws java.io.IOException,
                                  ConformanceException

Copy a content element

The returned object is associated with the given target document but not yet part of it.

Parameters:

targetDocument - the output document with which the returned object is associated

contentElement - a content element of a different document

Returns:

the copied content element, associated with the current document

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Error reading from the source document or writing to the target document

ConformanceException - The conformance level of the source document is not compatible with the conformance level of the target document.

ConformanceException - The conformance of the targetDocument is PDF/A with a conformance level "a": PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-3a.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the targetDocument argument has already been closed

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the targetDocument argument is read-only

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - the contentElement object is not associated with an input document

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - the document associated with the contentElement object has already been closed

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if targetDocument is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if contentElement is null

getBoundingBox

public Rectangle getBoundingBox()

the bounding box (Getter)

This is a rectangle that encompasses all parts of an element.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - the object has already been closed

getTransform

public AffineTransform getTransform()

the transform to be applied to the alignment rectangle (Getter)

Use this transform matrix to compute the actual location of the element's alignment rectangle.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - the object has already been closed

setTransform

public void setTransform(AffineTransform value)

the transform to be applied to the alignment rectangle (Setter)

Use this transform matrix to compute the actual location of the element's alignment rectangle.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - the object has already been closed

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the transform to be set is non-invertible

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the document is read-only

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if value is null
