NAME

       Text::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from PDF::Objind

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       There are various special instance variables which are used to look after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:

       stream Holds the stream contents for output

       streamfile
	      Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is stored
	      in its unfiltered form.

       streamloc
	      If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where in the source PDF the stream starts.

METHODS

       $d->outobjdeep($fh)

       Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a recursive call.

       It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
       and insert it into the stream's dictionary.

       $d->read_stream($force_memory)

       Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
       default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
       occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'} variable.

       $d->val

       Returns the dictionary, which is itself.

       $d->copy($inpdf, $res, $unique, $outpdf, %opts)

       Copies an object. See Text::PDF::Objind::Copy() for details

NAME

       Text::PDF::TTFont0 - Inherits from PDF::Dict and represents a TrueType Type 0 font within a PDF file.

DESCRIPTION

       A font consists of two primary parts in a PDF file: the header and the font descriptor. Whilst two fonts may share font descriptors, they
       will have their own header dictionaries including encoding and widhth information.

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       There are no instance variables beyond the variables which directly correspond to entries in the appropriate PDF dictionaries.

METHODS

       Text::PDF::TTFont->new($parent, $fontfname. $pdfname)

       Creates a new font resource for the given fontfile. This includes the font descriptor and the font stream. The $pdfname is the name by
       which this font resource will be known throughout a particular PDF file.

       All font resources are full PDF objects.

       out_text($text)

       Returns the string to be put into a content stream for text to be output in this font.  The text is assumed to be UTF8 encoded and the
       return string is a glyph sequence for the text. If subsetting is enabled, then all the glyphs returned are also marked for output.

       out_glyphs(@n)

       Marks the glyphs as being needed in the output font when subsetting. Returns a string to render the glyphs as specified.

       width($text)

       Returns the width of the string, assuming it to be UTF8 encoded.

       outobjdeep($fh, $pdf, %opts)

       Handles the creation of the font stream including subsetting at this point. So if you get this far, that's it for subsetting.

       ship_out($pdf)

       Ship this font out to the given $pdf file context

       empty

       Empty the font of as much as possible in order to save memory
