Nobody expects the PDF-Inqisition

Help for the PDFInquisitor

The purpose of this program is mainly to test new features of the artcom pdflib. It is for development use only. If you use it, use it on your own bloody risk!. Most of the menu is still not documented and some Links point to the java documentation of some classes.

Menu

Panels

In general Panels on the left side apply to the whole documents, while panels on the right apply to the currently selected page. There is one exception to this rule, that is the Object Editor

Tree Views

By the tree views you can analyze the inner structure of the pdf file. There is currently no edit capability. Reference objects are hidden from the view, at least they should be. They appear as the objects that they point to. For composite objects (Array, Dictionary, Stream) the number of elements (keys, entries) is shown in brackets (e.g. [19]) after the name. Objects that can be referred by a object number are marked with an exclamation mark <!>, so they can easily identified to be editable by the Object Editor. See also TreeView
