Method Detail

getText

public String getText()

Specified by:

getText in interface TextAssemblyBuffer

Returns:

the text to render

See Also:

TextAssemblyBuffer.getText()

accumulate

public void accumulate(TextAssembler p,
                       String contextName)

We pass ourselves to the assembler, which is a visitor, so that it can accumulate information on this text depending on its type. The result is calculated by a final "assembly" phase, after accumulation is done. This is because we may have non-contiguous items in a PDF text stream.

Specified by:

accumulate in interface TextAssemblyBuffer

Parameters:

p - the assembler that is visiting us.

contextName - Name of the surrounding markup element/"context" if we're generating tagged output.

See Also:

TextAssemblyBuffer.accumulate(com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.TextAssembler, String)

assemble

public void assemble(TextAssembler p)

Specified by:

assemble in interface TextAssemblyBuffer

Parameters:

p - we may pass ourselves to this assembler again during the final assembly process.

See Also:

TextAssemblyBuffer.assemble(com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.TextAssembler)

getFinalText

public FinalText getFinalText(PdfReader reader,
                              int page,
                              TextAssembler assembler,
                              boolean useMarkup)

Specified by:

getFinalText in interface TextAssemblyBuffer

Parameters:

reader - pdfReader that knows about our document. (size, etc. available here).

page - which page are we extracting text from.

assembler - Builds result by accepting content from text components of various sorts.

useMarkup - Should we generate tagged text, or just plain text.

Returns:

the final text ready to concatenate into result string.

TextAssemblyBuffer.getFinalText(PdfReader, int, TextAssembler, boolean)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
