Data

 

5.0

The Data object is the representation of an embedded file or data stream that is stored in the document. See the PDF Reference for details.

Using Data objects is a good way to associate and embed source files, metadata, and other associated data with a document. Data objects can be inserted from the external file system, queried, and extracted.

See the following Doc properties and methods:

createDataObject, dataObjects, exportDataObject, getDataObject, importDataObject, removeDataObject, openDataObject, getDataObjectContents, and setDataObjectContents.

The following objects, properties and methods support PDF portfolios (also called PDF collections or PDF packages):

app.newCollection, Doc.collection, Collection object, and collectionField object

Note: The Data object methods were implemented in Acrobat 5.0. However, the ability to use them in Adobe Reader with additional usage rights only became available in Adobe Reader 6.0.
