Root Property    

 

Type Default Value Read Only Description
Long   1 Yes The root catalog object.

 

    

Notes		  

This property holds the ID of the catalog object.

The catalog is the root of the whole PDF document. It contains information on the root Pages object and the Outline object.

For dynamically created documents, the root of the document is always one. However, documents read from existing PDF files may use different root IDs.,

 

    

Example		  

The following code snippet illustrates how one might find some information about a PDF document.

Set theDoc = Server.CreateObject("ABCpdf11.Doc")
theDoc.Read "c:\mypdfs\mydoc.pdf"
theVers = theDoc.GetInfo(theDoc.Root, "/Version")
theNames = theDoc.GetInfo(theDoc.Root, "/Names")
thePages = theDoc.GetInfo(theDoc.Root, "Pages")
theOutlines = theDoc.GetInfo(theDoc.Root, "outlines")
Response.Write "Version " & theVers & "<br>"
Response.Write "Names " & theNames & "<br>"
Response.Write "Pages ID" & thePages & "<br>"
Response.Write "Outlines ID " & theOutlines & "<br>"

This might result in the following output.

Version /1.4
Names 12 0 R
Pages ID 618
Outlines ID 2169
