DynaPDFMBS.LoadLayerConfig(Index as Integer) as Boolean

A PDF file that contains layers (Optional Content Groups in PDF syntax) contains usually at least a default configuration dictionary. This configuration is loaded by default when the visibility state of a layer or optional content group must be determined, e.g. when rendering a page.
Use this function to load another configuration if available. To determine the number of available configurations call GetLayerConfigCount().

The paramter Index can be one of the following:

• -1: Load the default configuration.
• -2: If a configuration was already loaded, leave it unchanged. Load
• the default configuration otherwise.
• 0..Count -1: Load the specified configuration.

See also LoadLayerConfig function in DynaPDF manual.

The function adds additional metadata to a template (XObject type Form in PDF terms, see BeginTemplate() or BeginTransparencyGroup() for further information) so that PDF editors like Adobe Acrobat are able to identify the template as watermark.

Watermarks can be deleted with Acrobat and many other PDF editors. DynaPDF can delete such watermarks too with DeleteWatermark() or Optimize().

Returns true on success or false on failure.

DynaPDFMBS.OpenOutputFileEncrypted(File as folderitem, OpenPwd as string, OwnerPwd as string, KeyLen as Integer, Restrict as Integer) as Boolean

This function enables in combination with FlushPages the creation of very large encrypted PDF files with minimal memory usage.
The function can be called in a while statement, e.g. to display a open file dialog if the file could not be opened. Once the function succeeds the PDF file can be finished with CloseFile.

If the function succeeds the return value is true. If the function fails the return value is false.

• /DynaPDF/Create PDF with DPart Metadata

See also OpenTag function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.OpenTagAnsi(Tag as Integer, Lang as string, AltText as string, Expansion as string, BBox as DynaPDFRectMBS = nil) as boolean   Deprecated

DynaPDFMBS.Optimize(Flags as Integer = 0, Params as DynaPDFOptimizeParamsMBS = nil) as boolean

dim pdf as new DynapdfMBS

  pdf.kofScaleImages, _ // Scale images as specified in the DynaPDFOptimizeParamsMBS class.
  pdf.kofNewLinkNames, _ // If set, rename all object links to short names like F1, F2 etc.
  pdf.kofDeleteInvPaths, _ // Delete invisible paths.
  pdf.kofDeletePrivateData, _ // Delete private data objects from pages, templates, and images.
  pdf.kofIgnoreZeroLineWidth, _
  pdf.kofDeleteAlternateImages, _ // If set, alternate images will be deleted.

// pdf.kofInMemory          // Optimize the file fully in memory. Only useful for small PDF files.
// pdf.kofConvertAllColors  // If set, Separation, DeviceN, and NChannel color spaces will be converted to the device space.
// pdf.kofIgnoreICCBased    // If set, ICCBased color spaces will be left unchanged.
// pdf.kofScaleImages       // Scale all images
// pdf.kofNewLinkNames      // If set, rename all object links to short names like F1, F2 etc.
// pdf.kofDeleteInvPaths    // Delete invisible paths. An invisible path is a path that was finished with the no-op operator "n".
// more flags in DynaPDF documentation

Dim o As New DynaPDFOptimizeParamsMBS

o.MinColorRes = 100 // scale images with more than 100 dpi
o.ResColorImages = 150 // down to 150 dpi

call pdf.Optimize(flags, o)

This repairs also a lot of errors in the PDF and can shrink the PDF size.
After optimize, please close PDF. If you need to further edit it, please import it again in a new environment.

You need to use InitColorManagement to get color conversion working well if needed.

Note that this function requires the DynaPDF Pro.

DynaPDFMBS.PageLink(PosX as Double, PosY as Double, Width as Double, Height as Double, DestPage as Integer) as Integer

Some examples using this method:

• /DynaPDF/Create PDF with Bookmarks
• /DynaPDF/Create PDF with named destination
• /DynaPDF/Show Annotations
• /DynaPDF/Show Links

See also PageLink function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.PageLink2(PosX as Double, PosY as Double, Width as Double, Height as Double, NamedDest as Integer) as Integer

Some examples using this method:

• /DynaPDF/Create PDF with named destination

See also PageLink2 function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.PageLink3(PosX as Double, PosY as Double, Width as Double, Height as Double, NamedDest as string) as Integer

The difference in comparison to PageLink2() is that the named destination can be defined as string.
This makes it possible to create the link, also if you don't have the required information to create the named destination at this point. If the named destination does not exist when the file is closed then the link does nothing. See also, CreateNamedDest().

Return values:
If the function succeeds the return value is the annotation handle, a value greater or equal zero. If the function fails the return value is a negative error code.

See also PageLink3 function in DynaPDF manual.
