PdfRendererPreV

class PdfRendererPreV : AutoCloseable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.graphics.pdf.PdfRendererPreV

This class enables rendering a PDF document and selecting, searching, fast scrolling, annotations, etc from Android R till Android U. This class is thread safe and can be called by multiple threads however only one thread will be executed at a time as the access is synchronized by internal locking.

If you want to render a PDF, you will need to create a new instance of renderer for each document. To render each page, you open the page using the renderer instance created earlier, render it, and close the page. After you are done with rendering, you close the renderer. After the renderer is closed it should not be used anymore. Note that the pages are rendered one by one, i.e. you can have only a single page opened at any given time.

A typical use of the APIs to render a PDF looks like this: 

// create a new renderer
  try (PdfRendererPreV renderer = new PdfRendererPreV(getSeekableFileDescriptor(), loadParams)) {
       // let us just render all pages
       final int pageCount = renderer.getPageCount();
       for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) {
           Page page = renderer.openPage(i);
           RenderParams params = new RenderParams.Builder(Page.RENDER_MODE_FOR_DISPLAY).build();
 
           // say we render for showing on the screen
           page.render(mBitmap, params, null, null);
 
           // do stuff with the bitmap
 
           // close the page
           page.close();
       }
  }

Please refer to PdfRenderer for fulfilling this usecase.

Public constructors

PdfRendererPreV

Added in API level 35
Also in S Extensions 13
PdfRendererPreV(fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor)

Creates a new instance of PdfRendererPreV class.

Note: The provided file descriptor must be seekable, i.e. its data being randomly accessed, e.g. pointing to a file.

Note: This class takes ownership of the passed in file descriptor and is responsible for closing it when the renderer is closed.

If the file is from an untrusted source it is recommended to run the renderer in a separate, isolated process with minimal permissions to limit the impact of security exploits.

Parameters
fileDescriptor ParcelFileDescriptor: Seekable file descriptor to read from.
This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an error occurs while reading the file.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If the ParcelFileDescriptor is not seekable.
java.lang.NullPointerException If the file descriptor is null.
java.lang.SecurityException If the file requires a password or the security scheme is not supported by the renderer.

PdfRendererPreV

Added in API level 35
Also in S Extensions 13
PdfRendererPreV(
    fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor, 
    params: LoadParams)

Creates a new instance of PdfRendererPreV class.

Note: The provided file descriptor must be seekable, i.e. its data being randomly accessed, e.g. pointing to a file. If the password passed in android.graphics.pdf.LoadParams is incorrect, the android.graphics.pdf.PdfRendererPreV will throw a SecurityException.

Note: This class takes ownership of the passed in file descriptor and is responsible for closing it when the renderer is closed.

If the file is from an untrusted source it is recommended to run the renderer in a separate, isolated process with minimal permissions to limit the impact of security exploits.

Parameters
fileDescriptor ParcelFileDescriptor: Seekable file descriptor to read from.
This value cannot be null.
params LoadParams: Instance of LoadParams specifying params for loading PDF document.
This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an error occurs while reading the file.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If the ParcelFileDescriptor is not seekable.
java.lang.NullPointerException If the file descriptor or load params is null.
java.lang.SecurityException If the file requires a password or the security scheme is not supported by the renderer.

Public methods

java.lang.IllegalStateException If close() is called before invoking this.

getDocumentLinearizationType

Added in API level 35
Also in S Extensions 13
fun getDocumentLinearizationType(): Int

Gets the type of the PDF document.

Return
Int The PDF document type.
Value is one of the following:
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException If close() is called before invoking this.

Added in API level 35
Also in S Extensions 13
fun getPageCount(): Int

write

Added in API level 35
Also in S Extensions 13
fun write(
    destination: ParcelFileDescriptor, 
    removePasswordProtection: Boolean
): Unit

Saves the current state of the loaded PDF document to the given writable ParcelFileDescriptor. If the document is password-protected then setting removePasswordProtection removes the protection before saving. The PDF document should already be decrypted with the correct password before writing. Useful for printing or sharing. Note: This method closes the provided file descriptor.

Parameters
destination ParcelFileDescriptor: The writable ParcelFileDescriptor
This value cannot be null.
removePasswordProtection Boolean: If true, removes password protection from the PDF before saving.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If there's a write error, or if 'removePasswordSecurity' is true but the document remains encrypted.
java.lang.IllegalStateException If close() is called before invoking this.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 35
protected fun finalize(): Unit

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Exceptions
java.lang.Throwable the Exception raised by this method
