Overview

The CGPDFStreamRef opaque type represents a PDF stream. A PDF stream consists of a dictionary that describes a sequence of bytes. Streams typically represent objects with potentially large amounts of data, such as images and page descriptions.

This opaque type is not derived from CFType and therefore there are no functions for retaining and releasing it.

Functions

CGPDFStreamCopyData

Returns the data associated with a PDF stream.

CFDataRef CGPDFStreamCopyData (
   CGPDFStreamRef stream,
   CGPDFDataFormat *format
);
Parameters
stream

A PDF stream.

format

On return, contains a constant that specifies the format of the data returned—CGPDFDataFormatRaw, CGPDFDataFormatJPEGEncoded, or CGPDFDataFormatJPEG2000.

Return Value

A CFData object that contains a copy of the stream data. You are responsible for releasing this object.

CGPDFStreamGetDictionary

Returns the dictionary associated with a PDF stream.

CGPDFDictionaryRef CGPDFStreamGetDictionary (
   CGPDFStreamRef stream
);
Parameters
stream

A PDF stream.

Return Value

The PDF dictionary for the specified stream.
