Named Destinations

Introduction

Introduction

The addFile() and addDocument() methods accept a name and/or its configuration as an array for a named destination in their $nameConfig parameter.

This way it is possible to access the desired page by this name.

Before revision 1330 this paramter only accepts a simple string and was named $name. It was renamed to $nameConfig and accepts an array now. In this array you can pass the name and the fitMode configuration, which is an additional array which will be forwarded to the \setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Document\Destination::createDestinationArray() method internally. This allows you more control above the created destination.

Example

This named destination could be used in an URI to open the document at the specific page.

PHP

<?php

use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Document\Destination;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Writer\HttpWriter;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Merger\Merger;

require_once('library/SetaPDF/Autoload.php');

$merger = new Merger();
// add files from the file system
$merger->addFile([
    'filename' => 'files/pdfs/camtown/products/Boombastic-Box.pdf',
    'name' => 'product-A' // works for backwards compatibility
]);

$merger->addFile([
    'filename' => 'files/pdfs/camtown/products/Fantastic-Speaker.pdf',
    'nameConfig' => [
        Merger::DESTINATION_NAME => 'product-B',
        Merger::DESTINATION_FIT_MODE => [
            Destination::FIT_MODE_XYZ, 20, 750, 4
        ]
    ]
]);

$merger->addFile([
    'filename' => 'files/pdfs/camtown/products/Noisy-Tube.pdf',
    'nameConfig' => [Merger::DESTINATION_NAME => 'product-C']
]);

// merge them together
$merger->merge();

// get the resulting document instance
$document = $merger->getDocument();
// add a writer
$document->setWriter(new HttpWriter('named-destinations.pdf', true));
// save and finish
$document->save()->finish();
