Class API

class linkDest#

dest#

Target destination name if linkDest.kind is LINK_GOTOR and linkDest.page is -1.

Type:: str

fileSpec#

Contains the filename and path this link points to, if linkDest.kind is LINK_GOTOR or LINK_LAUNCH.

Type:: str

flags#

A bitfield describing the validity and meaning of the different aspects of the destination. As far as possible, link destinations are constructed such that e.g. linkDest.lt and linkDest.rb can be treated as defining a bounding box. But the flags indicate which of the values were actually specified, see Link Destination Flags.

Type:: int

isMap#

This flag specifies whether to track the mouse position when the URI is resolved. Default value: False.

Type:: bool

isUri#

Specifies whether this destination is an internet resource (as opposed to e.g. a local file specification in URI format).

Type:: bool

kind#

Indicates the type of this destination, like a place in this document, a URI, a file launch, an action or a place in another file. Look at Link Destination Kinds to see the names and numerical values.

Type:: int

lt#

The top left Point of the destination.

Type:: Point

named#

This destination refers to some named action to perform (e.g. a javascript, see Adobe PDF References). Standard actions provided are NextPage, PrevPage, FirstPage, and LastPage.

Type:: str

newWindow#

If true, the destination should be launched in a new window.

Type:: bool

page#

The page number (in this or the target document) this destination points to. Only set if linkDest.kind is LINK_GOTOR or LINK_GOTO. May be -1 if linkDest.kind is LINK_GOTOR. In this case linkDest.dest contains the name of a destination in the target document.

Type:: int

rb#

The bottom right Point of this destination.

Type:: Point

uri#

The name of the URI this destination points to.

Type:: str
