pdftools_toolbox.pdf.navigation.fit_height_destination

Classes

A destination fits the height of a page into the viewport.

class pdftools_toolbox.pdf.navigation.fit_height_destination.FitHeightDestination(handle)[source]

A destination fits the height of a page into the viewport.

Note: Many PDF viewers support different viewing modes like “fit page” or “fit width”. A pdftools_toolbox.pdf.navigation.fit_height_destination.FitHeightDestination will change the current viewing mode to “fit height” in those viewers.

Changing the viewing mode is usually not very well received by users and thus a pdftools_toolbox.pdf.navigation.location_zoom_destination.LocationZoomDestination should be preferred in most cases.

static create(target_document: Document, page: Page, fit_actual_content: bool) → FitHeightDestination[source]

Create a new FitHeightDestination

The returned object is not yet used on any page, but it is associated with the given target document.

Parameters:

If True, the viewport is fitted to the actual content of the page, instead of the size of the page.

See property pdftools_toolbox.pdf.navigation.fit_height_destination.FitHeightDestination.fit_actual_content for more information.
