com.orsonpdf.PDFHints

public final class PDFHints
extends java.lang.Object

Defines the rendering hints that can be used with the PDFGraphics2D class. There is just one hint defined at present:

• KEY_DRAW_STRING_TYPE that controls how the drawString() methods generate output (regular text or vector graphics);

Field Detail

KEY_DRAW_STRING_TYPE

public static final PDFHints.Key KEY_DRAW_STRING_TYPE

The key for the hint that controls whether strings are rendered as characters (standard PDF output) or vector graphics (implemented using TextLayout). The latter will result in larger output files but permits rendering Unicode characters without font embedding (which is not supported by OrsonPDF at this point). Valid hint values are VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_STANDARD and VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_VECTOR.

VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_STANDARD

public static final java.lang.Object VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_STANDARD

Hint value for KEY_DRAW_STRING_TYPE to specify that strings should be written to the output using standard PDF text primitives.

VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_VECTOR

public static final java.lang.Object VALUE_DRAW_STRING_TYPE_VECTOR

Hint value for KEY_DRAW_STRING_TYPE to say that strings should be written to the output using vector graphics primitives.
