public class PDFCanvas extends java.lang.Object implements PDFDrawable
This class represents a the visible content of a page, annotation or similar. Basically everything which is displayed in a document - pages, annotations, form fields and so on - has a Canvas at it's heart. In the PDF spec this is known as a "Content Stream".
Using a Canvas is very similar to using a
PDFPage
- it's created, it's width is specified and content is drawn onto it. Once created, a Canvas can be used as the basis for aPDFImage
orPDFPattern
and applied to a page.- Since:
- 2.0

PDFCanvas
public PDFCanvas(PDFPage page)
Create a new Canvas that's a clone of the specifiedPDFPage
. Since 2.2 the page must have had thePDFPage.flush()
method called on it first, otherwise an IllegalStateException is thrown. If the page has a CropBox defined that will be used as the size of the canvas, not the MediaBox (which is what is returned fromPDFPage.getWidth()
andPDFPage.getHeight()
). If this isn't the intention you can reset the CropBox before creating the canvas using thesetBox
method.- Since:
- 2.0
- See Also:
PDFPage.setBox(java.lang.String, float, float, float, float)

setPDF
public void setPDF(PDF pdf)
"Attach" this PDFCanvas to the specified PDF. Although this doesn't do anything specific to the output, it allows some optimisations to be made regarding shared resources, by associating a PDF canvas with the PDF that will eventually reference it.- Since:
- 2.26.5
-
getDefaultColorSpace
public java.awt.color.ColorSpace getDefaultColorSpace(int components)
Description copied from interface:PDFDrawable
Return the ColorSpace used by this Drawable to anchor device-dependent colors to a profile. For example, the ColorSpace returned by
getDefaultColorSpace(3)
is used by all "Device RGB" colors on the page, effectively turning them into calibrated colors.The PDF API automatically sets a calibrated sRGB ColorSpace as the ColorSpace for all DeviceRGB content on the page. Unlike the use of "Output Intents" on the
OutputProfile
class, multiple ColorSpaces can be set, one each for Gray, RGB, and CMYK. This is a cheap way to convert pages containing both DeviceRGB and DeviceCMYK to using calibrated colors.- Specified by:
getDefaultColorSpace
in interfacePDFDrawable
- Parameters:
components
- identifies the Default ColorSpace we're requesting - valid values are 1 for Gray, 3 for RGB or 4 for CMYK.- Returns:
- the Default ColorSpace requested, or null if none is set.
-
setDefaultColorSpace
public void setDefaultColorSpace(int components, java.awt.color.ColorSpace cs)

.- Specified by:
setDefaultColorSpace
in interfacePDFDrawable
- Parameters:
components
- identifies the Default ColorSpace to set - valid values are 1 for Gray, 3 for RGB or 4 for CMYK.cs
- the ColorSpace to set, which must be either null (to delete the existing value) or a ColorSpace of a type that matches the "components" parameter.
-
flush
public void flush()
This method flushes any operations that have been written to the canvas, and closes the stream for further writes. Canvases must be flushed before they can be cloned (by calling the
PDFCanvas(PDFCanvas)
constructor).After a canvas is flushed, it can still be written to, but this will cause the canvas to be uncompressed and recompressed, which isn't a very efficient operation in terms of time or memory and is therefore best avoided.
It is a good idea to flush a PDFCanvas after you've finished modifying it, as the library can manage them more efficiently if it knows you're not expecting to write to them again. In particular once they're flushed they may be written to disk (or similar) by a
Cache
- Specified by:
flush
in interfacePDFDrawable
- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- if the canvas is incomplete - you have an open path or asave()
without a matchingrestore()
.- Since:
- 2.2
-
setMask
public void setMask(PDFCanvas mask, boolean alpha)
Set the mask which will be applied when this canvas is drawn to a parent PDFCanvas or PDFPage. The supplied mask should be the same size as this PDFCanvas, or it may be
null
to remove the mask completely. The mask must be set to the desired value before the canvas is drawn to a parent page or canvas.If alpha is true the mask canvas will be interpreted as an "alpha" mask - the alpha channel will be used to determine how much of this canvas to apply, with transparent areas transparent, and opaque areas opaque.
If alpha is false, the mask canvas will be interprected as a "luminance" mask. The grayscale value of each point will be used to determine opacity - white being fully opaque, black being fully transparent. The supplied canvas is assumed to be drawn over a black background, so transparency is not a factor in this calculation.
- Parameters:
mask
- the mask canvas, or null to use no maskalpha
- is mask is not null, a value of true to use it as an alpha-mask, or false for a luminance mask- Since:
- 2.23.3
-
setBox
public void setBox(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2)

beginTag
public void beginTag(java.lang.String tag, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> atts)
Open a structural tag on this page. This call must be matched by a later call to
endTag()
.Structural tags add a tree structure on top of the otherwise flat structure of a PDF. They are primarily used to meet accesibility requirements, and so may be required for certain subsets of PDF such as PDF/A-1a. Using the
beginTag
andendtag
methods is fairly simple and should be familiar to anytone that has used SAX or HTML:PDFCanvas canvas = new PDFCanvas(width, height); canvas.beginTag("Sect", null); LayoutBox box = new LayoutBox(600); box.addText("He said '", style, null); Map<String,Object> atts = new HashMap<String,Object>(); atts.put("id", "quote1"); box.beginTag("Quote", atts); box.addText("This is a contrived example", boldstyle, null); box.endTag(); canvas.drawLayoutBox(box, x, y); canvas.endTag();
Calls to beginTag must be matched to calls to endTag for each object - the methods exist in
PDFPage
,PDFCanvas
andLayoutBox
. A PDFCanvas with structural tags can only be drawn onto a page or another canvas once - anIllegalStateException
will be thrown on a second attempt, or if it's drawn with an unclosed structural tag.While in general any values for tag are allowed, the following are suggested by the PDF specification
Document Document - the root element of any logical structure Document; recommended in PDF1, required in PDF2. Part Part - A large-scale division of a document. This type of element is appropriate for grouping articles or sections. Art Article - A relatively self-contained body of text constituting a single narrative or exposition. Articles should be disjoint; that is, they should not contain other articles as constituent elements (removed in PDF2). Sect Section - A container for grouping related content elements. For example, a section might contain a heading, several introductory paragraphs, and two or more other sections nested within it as subsections. Div Division A generic block-level element or group of elements. BlockQuote Block quotation - A portion of text consisting of one or more paragraphs attributed to someone other than the author of the surrounding text. (removed in PDF2) Caption Caption - A brief portion of text describing a table or figure. TOC Table Of Contents - A list made up of table of contents item entries (structure type TOCI) and/or other nested table of contents entries (TOC).
A TOC entry that includes only TOCI entries represents a flat hierarchy. A TOC entry that includes other nested TOC entries (and possibly TOCI entries) represents a more complex hierarchy. Ideally, the hierarchy of a top level TOC entry reflects the structure of the main body of the document.
Lists of figures and tables, as well as bibliographies, can be treated as tables of contents for purposes of the standard structure types. (removed in PDF2)TOCI Table of Contents Item - This entry’s children may be any of the following structure types: Lbl, Reference, NonStruct, P or TOC (removed in PDF2) Index A sequence of entries containing identifying text accompanied by Reference elements that point out occurrences of the specified text in the main body of a document. (removed in PDF2) NonStruct Nonstructural element - A grouping element having no inherent structural significance; it serves solely for grouping purposes. This type of element differs from a Div in that it shall not be interpreted or exported to other document formats; however, its descendants shall be processed normally. (removed in PDF2) Private Private Element - A grouping element containing private content belonging to the application producing it. The structural significance of this type of element is unspecified and shall be determined entirely by the conforming writer. Neither the Private element nor any of its descendants shall be interpreted or exported to other document formats. (removed in PDF2) H Heading - A label for a subdivision of a document’s content. It should be the first child of the Div that it heads. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 Heading with specific levels - For use in conforming writers that cannot hierarchically nest their sections and thus cannot determine the level of a heading from its level of nesting. P Paragraph - A low-level division of text. L List - A sequence of items of like meaning and importance. Its immediate children should be an optional Caption followed by one or more LI LI List Item - An individual member of a list. Its children may be one or more combinations of Lbl or LBody Lbl Label - A name or number that distinguishes a given item from others in the same list or other group of like items. In a dictionary list, for example, it contains the term being defined; in a bulleted or numbered list, it contains the bullet character or the number of the list item and associated punctuation. LBody List Body - The descriptive content of a list item. In a dictionary list, for example, it contains the definition of the term. It may either contain the content directly or have other block-level items, perhaps including nested lists, as children. Table Table - A two-dimensional layout of rectangular data cells, possibly having a complex substructure. It contains either one or more TR as children; or an optional THead followed by one or more TBody and an optional TFoot. In addition, a table may have a Caption as its first or last child. TR Table Row - A row of headings or data in a table. It may contain TH and TD TH Table Header Cell - A table cell containing header text describing one or more rows or columns of the table. TD Table Data Cell - A table cell containing data that is part of the table’s content. THead Table header row group - A group of rows that constitute the header of a table. If the table is split across multiple pages, these rows may be redrawn at the top of each table fragment (although there is only one THead element). TBody Table body row group - A group of rows that constitute the main body portion of a table. If the table is split across multiple pages, the body area may be broken apart on a row boundary. A table may have multiple TBody elements to allow for the drawing of a border or background for a set of rows. TFoot Table footer row group - A group of rows that constitute the footer of a table. If the table is split across multiple pages, these rows may be redrawn at the bottom of each table fragment (although there is only one TFoot element.) Span Span - A generic inline portion of text having no particular inherent characteristics. It can be used, for example, to delimit a range of text with a given set of styling attributes, although it's not necessary to identify italic or bold text with a Span (as in HTML), as this can be derived from the text. Quote Quotation - An inline portion of text attributed to someone other than the author of the surrounding text. The quoted text should be contained inline within a single paragraph. This differs from the block-level element BlockQuote, which consists of one or more complete paragraphs (or other elements presented as if they were complete paragraphs). (removed in PDF2) Note Note - An item of explanatory text, such as a footnote or an endnote, that is referred to from within the body of the document. It may have a Lbl as a child. The note may be included as a child of the structure element in the body text that refers to it, or it may be included elsewhere (such as in an endnotes section) and accessed by means of a Reference. (removed in PDF2) Reference Reference - A citation to content elsewhere in the document. (removed in PDF2) BibEntry Bibliographic entry - A reference identifying the external source of some cited content. It may contain a Lbl as a child.
Although a bibliography entry is likely to include component parts identifying the cited content’s author, work, publisher, and so forth, no standard structure types are defined at this level of detail.Code Code entry - A fragment of computer program text (removed in PDF2) Link Link - An association between a portion of the inline items’s content and a corresponding AnnotationLink
. Its children should be zero or more content items or child inline items, and itsannotation
attribute should be set to theAnnotationLink
Annot Annotation - An association between a portion of the inline items’s content and a corresponding PDFAnnotation
. Its children should be zero or more content items or child inline items, and itsannotation
attribute should be set to thePDFAnnotation
Form Annotation - An association between a portion of the inline items’s content and a corresponding WidgetAnnotation
. Its children should be zero or more content items or child inline items, and itsannotation
attribute should be set to theWidgetAnnotation
Artifact Artifact - Used to mark a section of text as a rendering artifact only. Artifacts are not considered part of the logical document structure. They take no attributes. Attributes for structural tags are unfortunately somewhat overengineered in the specification. For now we will recognise and handle appropriately the following attributes.
id The ID for this node - should be unique across the PDF (sets the "ID" attribute) class One or more class names for this node, separated by spaces (sets the "C" attribute) title The optional human-readable description for the tag, eg "Chapter 1" (sets the "T" attribute) lang The optional language code for the tag and its childen, can be a String or a Locale
. An alternative to setting aLocale
on the text, it is recommended not to mix the two approaches - if you're usingbeginTag/endTag
, leave the locale in any calls toLayoutBox.addText()
asnull
(sets the "Lang" attribute)alt The alternate description for the structure element and its childen in human readable form (sets the "Alt" attribute). ActualText Text that is an exact replacement for the structure element and its children. This can be used when the actual PDF text is being added in a font without a correct Unicode mapping, when text is being added as an image, or when text is known to be broken over several lines (for example) (sets the "ActualText" attribute). Note there is rarely any reason to set this manually, it will be done automatically by the API when required. The only time it is useful to set it manually is to prevent text from being read out by a screen reader, which can be done by setting it to a single space character. abbr When an abbreviation is used, this attribute can be set to the unabbreviated version (sets the "E" attribute) phoneme Along with the phonetic-alphabet
attribute, specifies the pronunciation hints for the element (a PDF 2.0 property) Since 2.24.4phonetic-alphabet Sets the interpretation of the phoneme
value. The default is "ipa", but other values include "x-sampa", "x-Latn-pinyin" or "x-Latn-wadegile" (a PDF 2.0 property). Since 2.24.4annotation For Link, Annot or Form tags, the PDFAnnotation
they refer tometadata Since 2.26, any element may have XMP metadata associated with it by setting this attribute to the metadata, stored as a XMP
orString
. It may be retrieved as anXMP
later by callingNode.getUserData("metadata")
ref Since 2.26.5 the "ref" attribute can be set to a space-separated list of element IDs (which may take the form bfo:uuid:nnn
to reference a node with abfo:uuid
. The attribute will be converted to the PDF 2.0Ref
attributefiles Since 2.26, any element may have a list of files associated with it by setting this attribute to an EmbeddedFile
(or a collection of them). It may be retrieved later by callingNode.getUserData("files")
bfo:uuid Optional, representing the document-wide unique ID of this node. Sibling nodes with the same bfo:uuid will be merged in the tree (since 2.24) Note that bfo:key is a legacy method of setting this value. This value can be retrieved from any element by calling node.getUserData("uuid")
and the values can also be passed in toDocument.getElementById()
bfo:sort Optional. If set to an instanceof Comparable
or aReference
to a Comparable, all siblings will be sorted based on this value. When creating tags from an XML source, it would typically be set to an Integer representing the position of the node in document order (since 2.24)bfo:location Optional. If set to a String, any errors relating to this node will be tagged with this location (since 2.24) Any attribute not described here will be stored in the document structure. Attributes may optionally be prefixed by an "owner" - the PDF Structure Tree version of an XML Namespace, as described in section 14.8.5.2 of ISO/IEC 32000 (version 1). For instance, to set the "Scope" attribute with the "Table" owner, you can specify the attribute name as "Table:Scope". Unprefixed attributes will be stored with the "UserProperties" Owner.
For example, to specify a "TH" tag with the recommended "Scope" attribute, you could do as follows:
Map<String,Object> atts = new HashMap<String,Object>(); atts.put("Table:Scope", "Both");
New in 2.24 (and new in PDF 2.0) is full support for namespaces. To specify a namespace, separate the namespace URI from the qname with a newline. The prefix is not stored in the PDF structure, so is optional. This approach applies to both the element name and the attribute - for example:
Map<String,Object> atts = new HashMap<String,Object>(); atts.put("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\nfor", "myvalue"); canvas.beginTag("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\nlabel", atts);
Attribute values are specified as Strings, but are not stored that way in PDF - the storage depends on the attribute, and the details of that are in the PDF specification. The types can also be retrieved from the DOM by querying the "type" userdata on an attribute, eg
String type = (String)pdf.getDocumentElement().createAttribute("Layout:BorderColor").getUserData("type");
The rules for serialization are
Type How to format the value name the value is a string, eg Name
orTwo Words
string the value as a string, eg None
number the value as a number, eg 2.4
or1
boolean the value as true
orfalse
color the value is an array of three RGB values from 0..1, eg [0 1 0]
rect the value is an array of four numbers, eg [0 0 50 100]
Arrays of each of these types are also accepted - these are specified wrapped in square brackets, with the individual values space separated, as shown in the example for "rect" and "color" above. There are three additional complexities with arrays:
- Strings or names in an array use "backslash escaping"; for example, an array containing the
two strings "back\slash" and "two words" would be represented as
[back\\slash two\ words]
- Arrays of colors look like
[[1 0 0] [1 0 0] [0 0 0] [0 0 0]]
- Arrays of colors or numbers also allow null values - this is specified as null, eg
[[1 0 0] [1 0 0] [0 0 0] null]
or[8 8 null 8]
Note that as of 2.24, it's possible to modify the Document after creation. Because of this, very little validation is done directly by this method call. It is strongly recommended to use the "bfo:location" attribute to set some sort of useful marker in the attributes, so that any later error reports can be matched to the input element. A useful approach when creating content that originally started as XML, is to set both "bfo:uuid" and "bfo:sort" to an Integer that is the index in document order of the original element, and "bfo:location" to the String value of the
Locator
. This will allow elements to be added in an order that doesn't necessarily reflect the original ordering of the XML, while ensuring they are reordered to match that order when the PDF is rendered.If the sort order of individual content items also needs to be adjusted, passing
null
as a special value fortag
in this method will set the properties for the subsequent items of content (text, graphics etc). There is no need to do this unless you are sorting content, in which case the attributes should include thebfo:sort
key. There is no need to call a correspondingendTag()
in this case.Finally note that 2.24 removed some legacy aliases for attributes, as having two means to set the same attribute is ambiguous. To migrate, change C to class, T to title, text to ActualText, E to abbr, ID to id, and ensure any attributes have theie Owner specified as a prefix if required - for example, prior to 2.24 you could specify "Scope" to set "Table:Scope" - this is no longer the case.

createGraphics
public java.awt.Graphics2D createGraphics(PDF pdf)
Return a
Graphics2D
implementation that renders to this PDFCanvas. This provides a standard Java AWT way to create content on the page, although there are some things to note due to the different rendering models between the PDF and the AWT.Graphics2D.setComposite(java.awt.Composite)
will log an AW1 warning and ignore anything other than anAlphaComposite.SRC_OVER
compositeGraphics2D.setPaint(java.awt.Paint)
will log an AW1 warning and ignore any types ofPaint
other than those defined in Java SE. The reason is thePaintContext
interface is raster-based, so can't be used with PDF.Graphics.setXORMode(java.awt.Color)
will log an AW1 warning and do nothingGraphics.copyArea(int, int, int, int, int, int)
will log an AW1 warning and do nothing- Any Fonts can be used, but they will be recreated as OpenType fonts internally. All languages supported by the AWT should work correctly, including RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew) and complex-shaping languages (Hindi, etc). However by using the Graphics2D you are relying on the Java AWT classes to layout text, rather than using the PDF Libraries own text-layout routines. Initial testing shows both are essentially identical, but that can't be guaranteed.
- Although this method can be called multiple times on the same PDFCanvas, the Graphics2D objects returned
from each call are not entirely independent (unlike, for example, those returned from
BufferedImage.createGraphics()
. The recommended approach if multiple Graphics2D objects is to call this method once, then callGraphics.create()
to duplicate it. - Remember to call
Graphics.dispose()
on this Graphics2D when done, otherwise the PDF will fail to render - Do NOT write to this PDFCanvas directly while also writing to one of its
Graphics2D
objects!
Otherwise the Graphics2D returned here is complete, although the PDF rendering model is much more powerful than the AWT model - operations like compositing a PDFCanvas onto another PDFCanvas can't be represented in the AWT, which can draw only shapes, text and bitmap images.
Resources such as AWT images and fonts need to be converted to their PDF equivalents. The
pdf
parameter must be specified to ensure these are done only once per document.Finally, note that passing this Graphics2D as an input to the
PagePainter.drawSubImage(java.awt.Graphics2D, double, double, double, double, float)
method - round-tripping a PDF by rendering to a Graphics2D which converts it back to a PDF - will not give perfect results. Forcing the PDF rendering model onto the AWT model to generate a bitmap is hard enough - reversing the process is not possible.- Parameters:
pdf
- the PDF that will eventually "own" this PDFCanvas.- Since:
