public class PDFRenderHints

extends Object

PDFRenderHints allows the application to change the default rendering hints used when rendering a document. The class initializes the default rendering hints to:

• RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON
• RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS, RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON
• RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON

The default settings can be modified by the host application by calling PDFRenderHints.setRenderingHint or PDFRenderHints.setRenderingHints.

Method Detail

setRenderingHints

public static void setRenderingHints(RenderingHints hints)

Sets the rendering hints. This method replaces all the rendering hints with the argument.

Parameters:

hints - The new rendering hints.

getRenderingHints

public static RenderingHints getRenderingHints()

Gets a copy of the rendering hints. This method returns a copy of all the rendering hints.

Returns:

The rendering hints.

setRenderingHint

public static void setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key,
                                    Object value)

Sets one rendering hint. This method sets the value of a single rendering hint.

Parameters:

key - The rendering hint key.

value - The new value of the rendering hint.

getRenderingHint

public static Object getRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key)

Gets one rendering hint. This method returns the value of a rendering hint.

Parameters:

key - The rendering hint key.

Returns:

The value of the rendering hint.

isImageSmoothReduction

public static boolean isImageSmoothReduction()

Returns the value of the smooth image reduction hingt.

Returns:

The value of the smoot image reduction hint.

setImageSmoothReduction

public static void setImageSmoothReduction(boolean imageSmoothReduction)

This rendering hint tells the library whether to use a smooth image rescaling algorithm when reducing sizes. When this is on, reduced image quality is much higher but this has a significant performance hit, especially for large images.

Parameters:

imageSmoothReduction - true to use smooth rescaling, false to use standard rescaling.

getImageSmoothReduction

public static boolean getImageSmoothReduction()

Returns the value of the image reduction hint.

Returns:

Value of the image reduction hint.

setCMYKProfile

public static void setCMYKProfile(ICC_Profile cmykProfile)

Sets a custom CMYK profile to use when reading any CMYK color information. If the host application needs to have custom CMYK -> RGB conversion, it can call this method to set a custom profile.

Parameters:

cmykProfile - The new profile to use for CMYK color conversion
