Module: Pdfrb::Model::Cos::TextString

Defined in:
lib/pdfrb/model/cos/text_string.rb

Overview

Semantic accessors for spec-defined text strings (s7.9.2.2). On the wire these are UTF-16BE+BOM or PDFDocEncoding bytes — and read-side decryption hands them back as raw bytes — so every accessor that means "this field is text" decodes via this seam instead of relabelling the encoding. The Model itself stays lossless: only semantic accessors decode.
