DynaPDFMBS.GetTypoLeading as double

This is sTypoAscender – sTypoDescender + sTypoLineGap of the OS/2 table of TrueType and OpenType fonts. The value is scaled to the current font size. Type1 fonts do not support these metrics.

The function can be called after a font was activated in the graphics state, e.g. with SetFont(), SetFontEx(), SetCIDFont(), or ChangeFont().

If typographic metrics are not available the return value is Ascent – Descent. If the value is smaller than the font size then the font size is returned.

If the function succeeds the return value is the typographic leading of the active font, this is a value greater zero. If the function fails the return value is a negative error code.

Some examples using this method:

• /DynaPDF/ComplexText/Alternate Fonts
• /DynaPDF/ComplexText/Font Substitution

DynaPDFMBS.GetUserRights as Integer

See also GetUserRights function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.GetUserUnit as single

A user unit acts like a scaling factor. The page format and all page coordinates are multiplied with this factor in a viewer application. The default size of a PDF unit is 1/72 inch and the default user unit is 1.0. User units can be useful if the page format would be too large to be expressed in standard PDF units. The largest page format in PDF is limited to 14400 units or 200 inches. This limit can be extended with the user unit.
The largest value that is supported is 75.0 which results in a maximum page format of 15,000 x 15,000 inches or 1,800,000 units.

Use EditPage() to open a page if needed to inspect.

See also GetUserUnit function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.GetUseStdFonts as Boolean

See also GetUseStdFonts function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.GetUsesTransparency(Page as Integer = -1) as Integer

This is no quick check as GetDocUsesTransparency() applies. The function parses the page or pages to determine whether transparent objects are relly used.
To check whether a specific page uses transparency set the parameter PageNum to the wished page number. The first page is denoted by 1. To check the entire PDF file set PageNum to -1.

The return value is a bit mask on success (a positive integer value), or a negative error code on failure.
The following flags are defined

• 0: The page or document uses no transparency.
• 1: The content stream of a page contains transparent objects.
• 2: A page defines the blending color space (Group dictionary).
• 4: A page contains transparent annotations or form fields.
