NAME

PDF::Builder::NamedDestination - Add named destinations (views) to a PDF

METHODS

new

$dest = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf, ...)

    Creates a new named destination object. Any optional additional arguments will be passed on to destination.

Destination types

dest

$dest->dest($page, %opts)

    A destination (dest) is a particular view of a PDF, consisting of a page object, the location of the window on that page, and possible coordinate and zoom arguments.

    # The XYZ location takes three arguments
my $dest1 = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf);
$dest->dest($pdf->open_page(1), 'xyz' => [$x, $y, $zoom]);

# The Fit location doesn't require any arguments, but one is still
# needed for the hash array
my $dest2 = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf);
$dest->dest($pdf->open_page(2), 'fit' => 1);

    See "Page Fit Options" in PDF::Builder::Docs for a listing of the available locations and their syntax.

    "xyz" is the default fit setting, with position (left and top) and zoom the same as the calling page's.

Target Destinations

link, goto

$dest->link($page, %opts)

    A go-to (link) action changes the view to a specified destination (page, location, and magnification factor).

    Parameters are as described in dest.

    Alternate name: goto

    Originally this method was link, but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to goto. "goto" is added for compatibility.

uri, url

$dest->uri($url)

    Defines the destination as launch-url with uri $url.

    Alternate name: url

    Originally this method was url, but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to uri. "url" is retained for compatibility.

launch, file

$dest->launch($file)

    Defines the destination as launch-file with filepath $file and page-fit options %opts. The target application is run. Note that this is not a PDF or a browser file -- it is a local application.

    Alternate name: file

    Originally this method was file, but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to launch. "file" is retained for compatibility.

pdf, pdf_file, pdfile

$dest->pdf($pdf_file, $pagenum, %opts)

    Defines the destination as a PDF-file with filepath $pdf_file, on page $pagenum, and options %opts (same as dest()).

    Alternate names: pdf_file and pdfile

    Originally this method was pdfile, and had been earlier renamed to pdf_file, but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to pdf. "pdfile" and "pdf_file" are retained for compatibility. Note that the position and zoom information is still given as a hash element in PDF::Builder, while PDF::API2 has changed to a position string and an array of dimensions.
