The string B must match the regular expression /^\d+ \d+ R$/, where the first number is the object number, the second number the generation number. The return value is a PDF-primitive, the type depends on the content of the object: =over =item B The object could not be found or an error. Not all referenced objects need to be present in a PDF-file. This value can be ignored. =item B If (UNIVERSAL::isa ($retval, "HASH") is true, the object is a PDF-dictionary. The keys of the hash should be either a PDF name (eg: /MediaBox) or a generated value like Stream_Offset. Everything else is an error. The values of the hash can be any PDF-primitive, including PDF-arrays and other dictionaries. This is the most common value returned by GetObject. If the key Stream_Offset exists, the dictionary is followed by stream data, starting at the file offeset indicated by this value. =item B If (UNIVERSAL::isa ($retval, "ARRAY") is true, the object is a PDF-array. Each element may be of a different type, and may contain further references to arrays or any other PDF-primitive. =item B This is a reference to another PDF-Object. This value can be passed to GetObject. This kind of value may appear instead of most other types. Some PDF-writing programs seem to have special fun writing references when a simple number is expected. If the final number is need, use code like this to resolve references: while ($len =~ m/^\d+ \d+ R$/) {$len = $self->GetObject ($len); } Example: 22 0 R =item B This is a Name in a PDF dictionary. This string is already processed by B and may differ from the value in the PDF-file. In some very old andstrange non-standard PDF-files, this may lead to confusion. Example: /MediaBox =item B This is a string. It may contain newlines, quoted characters und other strange stuff. Use PDF::UnQuoteString to extract the text. Example: (This is\na string with two \(2\) lines.) =item B.*E$/> This is a hex encoded string. Use PDF::UnQuoteString to extract the text. Example: E48 45 4c4C4 F1cE =item B This is probably a number. Example: 611 =item B this is either a PDF bareword (eg. true, false, ...) or a value generated by this method like Stream_Offset. Example: true =back To improve performance GetObject uses an internal cache for objects. Repeated requests for the same objects are not read form the file but satisfied from the cache. With the Variable B<$PDF::Core::UseObjectCache>, the caching mechanism can be turned off. B Special care must be taken, when returned objects are modified. If the object contains sub-objects, the sub-objects are not duplicated and all changes affect all other copies of this object. Use your own copy, if you need to modify those values. =cut sub GetObject (\*$;$) { my $self = shift; my $ref = shift; my $force = shift; # # Is PDF file open? # croak "PDF-file not open." unless ($self->{"File_Handler"}); # # Check reference # my ($ind, $gen); unless (($ind,$gen) = $ref =~ m/^(\d+) (\d+) R$/) { carp "Bad object reference '", $_, "'"; return undef; } if ($ind > $#{$self->{"Gen_Num"}} || $self->{"Gen_Num"}[$ind] != $gen) { # # The page does not exist.
