SetaPDF_Core_Document|array $documentOrConfig [, mixed $pages = null [, string|array $nameConfig = null [, null|string|array $outlinesConfig = null [, boolean $copyLayers = true ]]]]
): int|null

Add a document.

Same as addFile() but the document has to be passed as SetaPDF_Core_Document instance.

Parameters
$documentOrConfig : SetaPDF_Core_Document|array

The document or config array. If an array is passed the keys has to be named as the method parameters. All other parameters are optional then.

$pages : mixed

The pages to add from the file. See _checkPageNumber() for a full description.

$nameConfig : string|array

The configuration for a named destination for this file.

$outlinesConfig : null|string|array

The outlines config

addFile()

public SetaPDF_Merger::addFile (
string|array $filenameOrConfig [, mixed $pages = null [, string|array $nameConfig = null [, null|string|array $outlinesConfig = null [, boolean $copyLayers = true ]]]]
): int|null

Add a document by filename.

The document could include dynamic content like form fields, links or any other page annotation.

Form fields are handled especially: If a document was added with form fields which names were already used by a previously added document the field name will be suffixed with a slash and a number.

This behavior may lead to corrupted java scripts which may calculate field sums by field names!

Parameters
$filenameOrConfig : string|array

The filename or config array. If an array is passed the keys has to be named as the method parameters. All other parameters are optional then.

$pages : mixed

The pages to add from the file. See _checkPageNumber() for a full description.

$nameConfig : string|array

The configuration for a named destination for this file.

$outlinesConfig : null|string|array

The outlines config,

$copyLayers : boolean

Whether to copy layer information of the document.

Exceptions

Throws InvalidArgumentException

cleanUp()

public SetaPDF_Merger::cleanUp (
void
): void

Release objects to free memory and cycled references.

After calling this method the instance of this object is unusable!

This method can be used to get the document instance that is actually processed if an Exception is thrown.

getDocument()

Alias for getInitialDocument.

getDocumentByFilename()

public SetaPDF_Merger::getDocumentByFilename (
string $filename [, boolean $cache = true ]
): SetaPDF_Core_Document

Get a document instance by a filename.

Parameters
$filename : string

The filename

merge()

Merges the documents/pages in memory.

This method merges the documents and/or pages to the initial document object without calling the save()-method. The document is hold in memory until it is "manually" saved through the initial document instance.

Exceptions

Throws SetaPDF_Core_SecHandler_Exception

Throws SetaPDF_Merger_Exception

rewriteNamesCallback()

Callback method for renaming string values of renamed names.

Parameters
$document : SetaPDF_Core_Document

The document instance

$value : SetaPDF_Core_Type_StringValue

The string value

See

setHandleNames()

public SetaPDF_Merger::setHandleNames (
[ boolean $handleNames = true [, null|callback $adjustNameCallback = null ]]
): void

Defines that the document's name dictionaries are merged into the resulting document.

This behavior is enabled by default. It sadly needs much memory and script runtime, because name trees could be very huge.

Parameters
$handleNames : boolean

The flag status

$adjustNameCallback : null|callback

See SetaPDF_Core_DataStructure_Tree::merge() for a detailed description of the callback

setMaxFileHandler()

public SetaPDF_Merger::setMaxFileHandler (
[ SetaPDF_Core_Reader_MaxFileHandler|null $handler = null ]
): void

Set the maximum file handler.

Parameters
$handler : SetaPDF_Core_Reader_MaxFileHandler|null
 

setRenameSameNamedFormFields()

public SetaPDF_Merger::setRenameSameNamedFormFields (
[ bool $renameSameNamedFormFields = true ]
): void

Set the flag defining if same named form fields should be renamed (default behavior).

If this flag is set to false the fields will be merged so that all same named fields will have the same value. Notice that this could occur in an incorrect appearance if the initial values are different.

Parameters
$renameSameNamedFormFields : bool

The flag status

setWriter()

Set the writer for the initial document.

Parameters
$writer : SetaPDF_Core_Writer_WriterInterface

The writer instance
