Package org.faceless.pdf2.viewer2.feature

Class Save

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PropertyChangeListener, EventListener, DocumentPanelListener
    public class Save
extends ViewerWidget
implements DocumentPanelListener, PropertyChangeListener

    Create a button that will allow the PDF to be saved to disk. If the PDF was originally loaded from a File, the user will not be prompted for a filename, otherwise this feature functions like SaveAs.

    The following initialization parameters can be specified to configure this feature.
    promptOnOverwritetrue to prompt before overwriting files, false otherwise (the default)
    disableUnlessDirtytrue to disable this feature until the PDF has been marked as "dirty" (ie it has been altered), false to always enable this feature (the defualt)
    alwaysCopytrue to always do an inefficient copy from the temporary file to the actual file, to work around a reported issue with saving to Windows Network Drives
    The name of this feature is Save

        Set whether this feature should prompt before overwriting a file
        Parameters:
        prompt - whether to prompt before overwriting a file (detault is false)

        2.18

      • setDisableUnlessDirty

        public void setDisableUnlessDirty​(boolean value)
        Set whether this feature should be disabled unless the PDF is marked as "dirty", i.e. it has been changed since it was loaded. The default is false.
        Parameters:
        value - whether to disable this feature unless the PDF is marked as dirty.
        Since:
        2.16.1

      • setEnabledForNewFiles

        public void setEnabledForNewFiles​(boolean value)
        Set whether this feature is disabled when the PDF is marked as "new", i.e. it was not loaded from a local PDF file originally. Prior to 2.24.3 this was false, so the "Save" prompt was always available even for new files. In 2.24.3 this value defaults to true - Save is disabled if the file was imported from an image, or from a URL (although the "Save As" option still allows the file to be saved)

        2.24.3

                           boolean overwriteprompt)
        Save the Document. Calls save(File,ViewerEvent,List,boolean,boolean) with a list of all the exporters availabe in the viewer, and the specified one first. Note this method is no longer called from within the API, it's here for legacy reasons only.
        Parameters:
        event - the ViewerEvent that launched this action
        exporter - if not null, the initial exporter to use.
        initialpath - the Path to display by default, or null to use the same path as the source file
        displayprompt - whether to prompt the user for a filename. We will always prompt anyway if the document has not yet been saved.
        overwriteprompt - whether to prompt the user if we are about to overwrite a filename.
        Returns:
        true if the file was saved, false otherwise
