save()

public SetaPDF_Core_Document::save (

[ boolean|integer $method = true ]

): SetaPDF_Core_Document

Saves the document.

The PDF format offers a way to add changes to a document by simply appending the changes to the end of the file. This method is called incremental update and has the advantage that it is very fast, because only changed objects have to be written. This behavior is the default one, when calling the save()-method. Sadly it makes it easy to revert the document to the previous state by simply cutting the bytes of the last revision.

The parameter of the save()-method allows you to define that the document should be rebuild from scratch by resolving the complete object structure. Just pass SetaPDF_Core_Document::SAVE_METHOD_REWRITE to it. This task is very performance intensive, because the complete document have to be parsed, interpreted and rewritten.

Additionally, it is possible to rewrite the whole document with all available objects. The benefit of this solution is that it will keep compressed object streams intact: SetaPDF_Core_Document::SAVE_METHOD_REWRITE_ALL. The disadvantage is, that unused objects may be copied/written, too.

Parameters

$method : boolean|integer: Update or rewrite the document

Exceptions

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Document_ObjectNotDefinedException

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Document_ObjectNotFoundException

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Exception

setCompressXref()

public SetaPDF_Core_Document::setCompressXref (
