Group Methods

Create a group object from a page.

From a given page in an input document, create a group object in the given target document. The returned object is associated with the target document but not yet part of it.

A group that contains interactive elements can be painted once only. Interactive elements are annotations, group fields, outlines or logical structure information. If a group needs to be painted multiple times, interactive elements can be flattened or the group can be copied multiple times from the page.

There are some interactive elements such as form fields or text annotations that cannot be rotated. So if you plan to rotate the group, it is recommended to flatten form fields and annotations.

Create an empty group object.
