Constructor Detail

PjString

public PjString(java.lang.String s)

Creates a string object.

Parameters:

s - the string value to initialize this object to.

Method Detail

getString

public java.lang.String getString()

Returns the string value of this object.

Returns:

the string value of this object.

writePdf

public long writePdf(java.io.OutputStream os)
              throws java.io.IOException

Writes this string to a stream in PDF format.

Specified by:

writePdf in class BaseObject

Parameters:

os - the stream to write to.

Returns:

the number of bytes written.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a deep copy of this object.

Specified by:

clone in class BaseObject

Returns:

a deep copy of this object.

decodePdf

public static java.lang.String decodePdf(java.lang.String pdfString)
                                  throws PdfFormatException

Converts a PDF-encoded string to a java String, which may be then be used to initialize a PjString object.

Parameters:

pdfString - the PDF-encoded string to be decoded.

Returns:

the sequence of characters decoded from pdfString, represented as a java String.

Throws:

PdfFormatException - if pdfString is invalid PDF.

decodeEscapedString

private static java.lang.String decodeEscapedString(java.lang.String pdfString)
                                             throws PdfFormatException

Decodes a PDF string enclosed in parentheses. This method ignores the first and last characters of pdfString because they are assumed to be matching parentheses.

Parameters:

pdfString - the PDF-encoded string to be decoded.

Returns:

the sequence of characters decoded from pdfString, represented as a java String.

Throws:

PdfFormatException - if invalid PDF encoding is encountered in pdfString.

decodeHexString

private static java.lang.String decodeHexString(java.lang.String pdfString)
                                         throws PdfFormatException

Decodes a PDF hexadecimal string enclosed in angle brackets. This method ignores the first and last characters of pdfString because they are assumed to be matching angle brackets.

Parameters:

pdfString - the PDF-encoded string to be decoded.

Returns:

the sequence of characters decoded from pdfString, represented as a java String.

Throws:

PdfFormatException - if invalid PDF encoding is encountered in pdfString.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compares two PjString objects for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object to compare to.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as obj, false otherwise.
