 | Page Properties |
The Page type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Annotations | The list of this page's annotations. Adding to this list results in an error:
|
| ArtBox | The art box of the page. The art box (PDF 1.3) defines the extent of the page's meaningful content (including potential white-space) as intended by the page’s creator. The default value is the page's crop box. This property is if the page contains no explicit art box. |
| BleedBox | The bleed box of the page. The bleed box (PDF 1.3) defines the region to which the contents of the page shall be clipped when output in a production environment. This may include any extra bleed area needed to accommodate the physical limitations of cutting, folding, and trimming equipment. The actual printed page may include printing marks that fall outside the bleed box. The default value is the page's crop box. This property is if the page contains no explicit bleed box. |
| Content | The page content. If the page is writable, the content object can be used to apply new content on the page, for example overlays or underlays. |
| Links | The list of this page's links. Adding to this list results in an error:
|
| MediaBox | The media box of the page. The media box defines the boundaries of the physical medium on which the page is to be printed. It may include any extended area surrounding the finished page for bleed, printing marks, or other such purposes. It may also include areas close to the edges of the medium that cannot be marked because of physical limitations of the output device. Content falling outside this boundary may safely be discarded without affecting the meaning of the PDF file. This property cannot be . |
| Metadata | The metadata of the page. If the document is writable, the metadata object will be writable too and all changes to the metadata object are reflected in the document. This property is if the page has not metadata. |
| PageLabel | Page label The label for this page. A page does not have to have a label and if it doesn't this property will be an empty string. If it exists, a page label is designed to replace the page number in visual presentations and consists of an optional prefix and a number. Number can be in one of several styles (arabic, Roman, alphabetic) and starts at an arbitrary number for a range of pages. Page labels are used to set distinct names or numbers, most often for preface, appendices and similar sections of the document. |
| Rotation | The current page rotation |
| Size | The visible size of the page (crop box). The page size corresponds to the size of the crop box. Since all coordinates are normalized to the origin of the crop box, the normalized origin of the crop box is always (0,0) and thus only the size is required. The crop box defines the region to which the contents of the page shall be clipped (cropped) when displayed or printed. Unlike the other boxes, the crop box has no defined meaning in terms of physical page geometry or intended use; it merely imposes clipping on the page contents. However, in the absence of additional information (such as imposition instructions specified in a JDF job ticket), the crop box determines how the page's contents shall be positioned on the output medium. The default value is the page's media box. This property cannot be . |
| TrimBox | The trim box of the page. The trim box (PDF 1.3) defines the intended dimensions of the finished page after trimming. It may be smaller than the media box to allow for production-related content, such as printing instructions, cut marks, or colour bars. The default value is the page's crop box. This property is if the page contains no explicit trim box. |
| Widgets | The list of this page's form field widgets. Adding to this list results in an error:
