Overview

Base wrapper for every PDF value (direct or indirect). Carries the indirect-reference metadata (oid, gen) and a back-reference to the owning Document for lazy resolution.

The wrapped value is the raw Ruby representation:

Boolean  -> true / false
Integer  -> Integer
Real     -> Float
Name     -> Symbol
String   -> String (UTF-8 for text, BINARY for bytes)
Null     -> nil
Array    -> Array or PdfArray
Dict     -> Hash or Dictionary
Stream   -> Stream (subclass of Dictionary)
Ref      -> Reference

Direct Known Subclasses

Cos::Dictionary, PdfArray

def ==(other)
  return false unless other.is_a?(Pdfrb::Model::Object)

  @value == other.value
end

#deref ⇒ Object

Resolve a Reference; pass-through for everything else.

#indirect? ⇒ Boolean

True when this object is referenced indirectly (oid > 0).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/pdfrb/model/object.rb', line 31

def indirect?
  @oid > 0
end

#must_be_indirect? ⇒ Boolean

Overridable. PDF types that must be indirect (Catalog, Pages, ...) override to return true.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/pdfrb/model/object.rb', line 37

def must_be_indirect?
  false
end

#pdf_type ⇒ Object

The PDF /Type name (e.g. :Catalog). Subclasses override via define_type. Falls back to value for raw dicts.
