This class is a helper for creating a PDF file for given print attributes. It is useful for implementing printing via the native Android graphics APIs.

This class computes the page width, page height, and content rectangle from the provided print attributes and these precomputed values can be accessed via getPageWidth(), getPageHeight(), and getPageContentRect(), respectively. The startPage(int) methods creates pages whose PageInfo is initialized with the precomputed values for width, height, and content rectangle.

A typical use of the APIs looks like this:

// open a new document
PrintedPdfDocument document = new PrintedPdfDocument(context,
        printAttributes);
// start a page
Page page = document.startPage(0);
// draw something on the page
View content = getContentView();
content.draw(page.getCanvas());
// finish the page
document.finishPage(page);
. . .
// add more pages
. . .
// write the document content
document.writeTo(getOutputStream());
//close the document
document.close();

Creates a new document.

Note: You must close the document after you are done by calling PdfDocument.close().

Params:
  • context – Context instance for accessing resources.
  • attributes – The print attributes.

Starts a new page. The page is created using width, height and content rectangle computed from the print attributes passed in the constructor and the given page number to create an appropriate PageInfo.

After the page is created you can draw arbitrary content on the page's canvas which you can get by calling Page.getCanvas(). After you are done drawing the content you should finish the page by calling PdfDocument.finishPage(Page). After the page is finished you should no longer access the page or its canvas.

Note: Do not call this method after PdfDocument.close(). Also do not call this method if the last page returned by this method is not finished by calling PdfDocument.finishPage(Page).

Params:
  • pageNumber – The page number. Must be a non negative.
See Also:
Returns:A blank page.
