This kind of measure dictionary can be used to convert PDF units to an arbitrary other unit like millimeters, meters, feets, and so on.
A measure dictionary is used by the measure tool of Adobe's Acrobat and by other PDF viewers which contain a PDF compatible measure tool.
The parameter Viewport must be a viewport handle that was returned by CreateViewport(). Scale is the required scaling factor to convert a PDF unit (1/72 inch) to the wished destination unit. The parameters UnitDescription, LabelDistance, and LabelArea are all required and cannot be NULL.
UnitDescription is a description of the coordinate conversion, e.g. "Inch to mm". LabelDistance is the label for the distance tool, e.g. "mm".
LabelArea is the label for the area tool, e.g. "mm2".

If the function succeds the return value is a measure handle, a value greater or equal zero. If the function fails the return value is a negative error code.

See also CreateRectilinearMeasure function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.CreateStructureTree as boolean

Tagged PDF files require a root node of type Art, Div, Document, Part, or Sect. This function creates a root node of type Document if nothing else was already imported. Other types can be created with the function CreateStructureTreeEx.

Notice:
DynaPDF is able to extend an existing structure tree that was imported from an external PDF file. However, when editing external PDF files the following rules must be considered:

• The structure information of a PDF file will only be imported when the entire PDF file is imported with ImportPDFFile(). When importing single pages with ImportPage() or ImportPageEx() of a PDF file that contains structure information then tagging will be disabled because DynaPDF is not able to import the structure information of a PDF file on a per page basis.
• Import first the PDF file and call then CreateStructureTree(). The reverse order causes that the structure tree will not be imported and tagging will be disabled!
• Only one PDF file with structure information can be imported without invalidating the structure information.
• Keep in mind that the structure tree of a PDF file is a complex global structure that is difficult to edit. Because of this, probably millions of PDF files exist that contain damages in the structure tree, mostly due to editing actions in certain viewer applications. When opening an existing page with EditPage() the function tries to find the corresonding StructParents array of the page in the ParentTree of the document's Structure Tree. When this action fails then tagging will be disabled for this page. OpenTag() and CloseTag() do not produce further warnings in this case. The function GetIsTaggingEnabled() can be used to determine whether tagging is still enabled after an existing page was opened for editing.

Some examples using this method:

• /DynaPDF/Create PDF UA
• /DynaPDF/PDF-A/Combine PDF files to PDFA
• /DynaPDF/PDF-A/Create PDFA
• /DynaPDF/PDF-A/Normalize PDF
• /DynaPDF/ZUGFeRD 2.0/Create PDF with existing pdf
• /DynaPDF/ZUGFeRD 2.0/Create PDF with invoice
• /DynaPDF/ZUGFeRD 2.0/Factur-X

DynaPDFMBS.CreateURIAction(URL as string) as Integer

See also CreateURIAction function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.CreateViewport(Name as String, X1 as Double, Y1 as Double, X2 as Double, Y2 as Double) as Integer

A viewport is a rectangular region of a page that can be associated with a measure dictionary. A measure dictionary achieves a coordinate conversion so that the distance and area can be calculated in other units like meters, feets, or millimeters, for example.
This is especially useful for CAD drawings which are not defined in PDF units. A PDF unit represents 1/72 inch.
A page can contain an arbitrary number of viewports and every viewport can be assigned with its own measure dictionary, e.g. to calculate coordinates in different units on the same page.
Viewports should be created in drawing order. Since viewports might overlap a PDF viewer examines the array starting with the last one and itereates in reverse order. The first one whose bounding box contains the point or cursor coordiante is chosen.
See also CreateRectilinearMeasure().

See also CreateViewport function in DynaPDF manual.
