org.faceless.pdf2.PDFCanvas
This class represents a the visible content of a page, annotation or similar. Basically everything which is displayed in a document - pages, annotations, form fields and so on - has a Canvas at it's heart. In the PDF spec this is known as a "Content Stream".
Using a Canvas is very similar to using a PDFPage
- it's created, it's
width is specified and content is drawn onto it. Once created, a Canvas can
be used as the basis for a PDFImage
or PDFPattern
and applied
to a page.

.
Since 2.2 the page must have had the PDFPage.flush()
method called on it first, otherwise an IllegalStateException is thrown.
If the page has a CropBox defined that will be used as the size of the
canvas, not the MediaBox (which is what is returned from
PDFPage.getWidth()
and PDFPage.getHeight()
). If this isn't
the intention you can reset the CropBox before creating the canvas using
the setBox
method.

public void flush()
This method flushes any operations that have been written to the canvas, and closes
the stream for further writes. Canvases must be flushed before they can be cloned
(by calling the PDFCanvas(PDFCanvas)
constructor).
After a canvas is flushed, it can still be written to, but this will cause the canvas to be uncompressed and recompressed, which isn't a very efficient operation in terms of time or memory and is therefore best avoided.
It is a good idea to flush a PDFCanvas after you've finished modifying it, as the
library can manage them more efficiently if it knows you're not expecting to
write to them again. In particular once they're flushed they may be written to disk
(or similar) by a Cache

Close the path and set the "clipping area" of the page to be the intersection of the current clipping area and the shape defined by this path. Any future graphics or text operations on the page are only applied within this area.
There is no way to enlarge the current clipping area, or to set
a new clipping area without reference to the current one. However,
as the current clipping area is part of the graphics state, it
can and should be nested inside calls to save()

to limit its effect.

Save the state of this page. This takes a snapshot of the currently applied
style, position, clipping area and any rotation/translation/scaling that has
been applied, which can be later restored with a call to restore()

it is an error to save the page state but not restore it.

Mark the canvas as being part of the Background or Watermark Layer. Layers (also known as Optional Content) were added in Acrobat 6, and although they have many possible uses the most common is to add a watermark or background to a document. In Acrobat 6, this is done using the "Add Watermark & Background" option under the "Document" menu.
This method can be used to achieve a similar effect. Your watermark or background should
be drawn to a Canvas, which is then applied to the page with the PDFPage.drawCanvas()
method - to create a background rather than a watermark, draw the canvas after
a call to PDFPage.seekStart()
. Then this method should be called to tell Acrobat
whether to print this canvas, display it on screen or both (or neither).
This sounds more complicated than it is. Here's the outline of an example which creates a "COPY" background on the page which is printed but not displayed on screen.
PDFCanvas canvas = new PDFCanvas(300, 100); LayoutBox box = new LayoutBox(300); box.addText("COPY", mystyle, null); canvas.drawLayoutBox(box, 0, 100); canvas.flush(); page.seekStart(); // Draw canvas under the page content page.drawCanvas(canvas, 200, 400, 500, 300); canvas.setAcrobat6Layer(false, true); // Print but do not display
Note: Any flags set with this method will be ignored by viewers other than
Acrobat 6 or later - in other viewers, the example PDF created above would have
"COPY" displayed both on screen and in print. If backwards compatibilty is required, a
similar effect that works in older viewers can be achieved using Annotations
.
This flag also has no effect on canvases used in any way other than being added to a page
with the PDFPage.drawCanvas()
method.
