PDF::Builder::NamedDestination(3)

NAME
PDF::Builder::NamedDestination - Add named destinations (views) to a PDF

METHODS

  new
    $dest = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf, ...)

    Creates a new named destination object. Any optional additional arguments will be passed on to "destination".

  Destination types
dest

    $dest->dest($page, %opts)

    A destination (dest) is a particular view of a PDF, consisting of a page object, the location of the window on that page, and possible coordinate and zoom arguments.

        # The XYZ location takes three arguments
        my $dest1 = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf);
        $dest->dest($pdf->open_page(1), 'xyz' => [$x, $y, $zoom]);

        # The Fit location doesn't require any arguments, but one is still
        # needed for the hash array
        my $dest2 = PDF::Builder::NamedDestination->new($pdf);
        $dest->dest($pdf->open_page(2), 'fit' => 1);

    See "Page Fit Options" in PDF::Builder::Docs for a listing of the available locations and their syntax.

    "xyz" is the default fit setting, with position (left and top) and zoom the same as the calling page's.

  Target Destinations
link, goto

    $dest->link($page, %opts)

    A go-to (link) action changes the view to a specified destination (page, location, and magnification factor).

    Parameters are as described in "dest".

    Alternate name: "goto"

    Originally this method was "link", but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to "goto". "goto" is added for compatibility.

uri, url

    $dest->uri($url)

    Defines the destination as launch-url with uri $url.

    Alternate name: "url"

    Originally this method was "url", but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to "uri". "url" is retained for compatibility.

launch, file

    $dest->launch($file)

    Defines the destination as launch-file with filepath $file and page-fit options %opts. The target application is run. Note that this is not a PDF or a browser file -- it is a local application.

    Alternate name: "file"

    Originally this method was "file", but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to "launch". "file" is retained for compatibility.

pdf, pdf_file, pdfile

    $dest->pdf($pdf_file, $pagenum, %opts)

    Defines the destination as a PDF-file with filepath $pdf_file, on page $pagenum, and options %opts (same as dest()).

    Alternate names: "pdf_file" and "pdfile"

    Originally this method was "pdfile", and had been earlier renamed to "pdf_file", but recently PDF::API2 changed the name to "pdf". "pdfile" and "pdf_file" are retained for compatibility. Note that the position and zoom information is still given as a hash element in PDF::Builder, while PDF::API2 has changed to a position string and an array of dimensions.
