PDFDestinationMBS.compare(dest as PDFDestinationMBS) as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	PDFKit	MBS PDFKit Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Returns a comparison result that indicates the location of the destination in the document, relative to the current position.

A comparison result, indicating the position of the passed-in destination relative to the current position.

If destination is between the receiver's position and the end of the document, compare returns NSOrderedAscending; if it is between the receiver's position and the beginning of the document, compare returns NSOrderedDescending. Otherwise, if destination matches the receiver's position, compare returns NSOrderedSame.

This method ignores the horizontal component of the destination point (the x value). If the destination's vertical component (or y value) is kPDFDestinationUnspecifiedValue, compare treats the destination as if its y value is the top point on the destination page.

An exception is raised if destination does not have a page associated with it or if its page is associated with a document other than the receiver's document.
