Function Reference

Page 787 of 883

The function sets optional flags to control the import of external PDF files. The flags are ignored by

the function ImportPage(). ImportPageEx() ignores the flags too if the page is imported outside of an

open page (see ImportPageEx() for further information). The flags are defined as a bit-mask;

multiple flags can be combined by using a bitwise or operator.

A second set of flags can be set with SetImportFlags2().

This function cannot fail; the return value is always 1.

Flag

Description

ifImportAll

If set, all objects of an external PDF file are imported.

ifContentOnly

If set, interactive objects are excluded from import.

ifNoContent

If set, the visual contents of external pages will not be imported. This flag can

be used to copy interactive objects from one file to another.

ifImportAsPage

If set, pages are not converted to templates. This flag is useful if an imported

page must not be used multiple times. Conversion to templates is

recommended if multiple imported pages should appear on the same page

since overlapping pages can cause resource conflicts.

ifCatalogAction

If set, catalog actions will be imported if any. The documents catalog is the root

object of a PDF file, which can trigger actions when the file will be opened,

closed, or printed. See AddActionToObj() for further information.

ifPageActions

If set, page actions are imported if any. A page action is an action that was

added to the page itself, not an object of a page.

ifBookmarks

If set, bookmarks are imported if any.

ifArticles

If set, Articles are imported if any.

ifPageLabels

If set, page labels are imported if any. If multiple files are imported, DynaPDF

imports the page labels of the first file only.

ifThumbs

If set, thumb nail images are imported if any. Thumb nails can be dynamically

created by Acrobat since Acrobat 5. The thumb nail images can be removed to

reduce disk space.

ifTranspGroups

If set, transparency groups are imported if any. If transparency groups are

removed the objects appear then opaque.

ifSeparationInfo

If set, the separation information dictionary will be imported if any.
