Method Detail

createParser

PDFAParser createParser(InputStream pdfStream)
                 throws ModelParsingException,
                        EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing the passed pdfStream parameter. The parser or parser provider will detect the flavour of the PDF document stream and provide an appropriate parser.

Parameters:

pdfStream - InputStream for the PDF document to be parsed.

Returns:

a PDFAParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

EncryptedPdfException - if the PDF to be parsed is encrypted

createParser

PDFAParser createParser(InputStream pdfStream,
                        PDFAFlavour flavour)
                 throws ModelParsingException,
                        EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing the passed pdfStream parameter. The caller must explicitly state the flavour of the PDF document stream.

Parameters:

pdfStream - InputStream for the PDF document to be parsed.

flavour - a PDFAFlavour instance indicating parser configuration (PDF/A part and conformance level) to be assumed when parsing the document.

Returns:

a PDFAParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

EncryptedPdfException - if the PDF to be parsed is encrypted

createParser

PDFAParser createParser(File pdfFile,

                        EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing file passed as pdfFile parameter. The caller must explicitly state the flavour of the PDF document stream.

Parameters:

pdfFile - File with PDF document to be parsed.

flavour - a PDFAFlavour instance indicating parser configuration (PDF/A part and conformance level) to be assumed when parsing the document.

Returns:

a PDFAParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

                        PDFAFlavour defaultFlavour)
                 throws ModelParsingException,
                        EncryptedPdfException

Throws:

ModelParsingException

EncryptedPdfException

createParser

PDFAParser createParser(File pdfFile)
                 throws ModelParsingException,
                        EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing file passed as pdfStream parameter. The parser or parser provider will detect the flavour of the PDF document stream and provide an appropriate parser.

Parameters:

pdfFile - File with the PDF document to be parsed.

Returns:

a PDFAParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

EncryptedPdfException - if the PDF to be parsed is encrypted

createValidator

PDFAValidator createValidator(ValidatorConfig config)

Obtain a new PDFAValidator instance.

Parameters:

config - a ValidatorConfig instance used to configure the PDFAValidator

Returns:

PDFAValidator createValidator(ValidatorConfig config,
                              ValidationProfile profile)

Obtain a new PDFAValidator instance that uses a custom ValidationProfile instance.

Parameters:

config - a ValidatorConfig instance used to configure the PDFAValidator

profile -

Returns:

an appropriately configured PDFAValidator instance.

createValidator
