LinearizePDFOperation

LinearizePDFOperation

An operation that converts a PDF file into a linearized (also known as “web optimized”) PDF file. Such PDF files are optimized for incremental access in network environments.

Sample Usage:


 const credentials = PDFToolsSdk.Credentials.serviceAccountCredentialsBuilder()
           .fromFile("pdftools-api-credentials.json")
           .build(),
       executionContext = PDFToolsSdk.ExecutionContext.create(credentials),
       LinearizePDF = PDFToolsSdk.LinearizePDF,
       linearizePdfOperation = LinearizePDF.Operation.createNew(),
       input = PDFToolsSdk.FileRef.createFromLocalFile('test/resources/linearizeInput.pdf', LinearizePDF.SupportedSourceFormat.pdf);

 linearizePdfOperation.setInput(input);

 linearizePdfOperation.execute(executionContext)
     .then(result => result.saveAsFile('output/linearizeOutput.pdf'))
     .catch(err => console.log(err));

Methods

(static) createNew() → {LinearizePDFOperation}

Constructs a LinearizePDFOperation instance.

Returns:

A new LinearizePDFOperation instance.

Type
LinearizePDFOperation

setInput(sourceFileRefnon-null)

Sets an input file.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
sourceFileRef FileRef

An input file.

execute(contextnon-null) → {Promise.<FileRef>}

Executes this operation using the supplied context and returns a Promise which resolves to the operation result.

The resulting file may be stored in the system temporary directory (per the os.tempdir(), symlinks are resolved to the actual path). See FileRef for how temporary resources are cleaned up.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
context ExecutionContext

The context in which the operation will be executed.

Throws:
  • if an API call results in an error response.

    Type
    ServiceApiError
  • if service usage limits have been reached or credentials quota has been exhausted.

    Type
    ServiceUsageError
Returns:

A promise which resolves to the operation result.
