PdfFileIdentifier Class

Definition

The file identifier: the two byte strings of the trailer's ID entry.

public sealed class PdfFileIdentifier

Remarks

ISO 32000-2 §14.4 and §7.5.5, Table 15. The first identifier is permanent, set when the file is first written; the second changes with every revision. Each "shall have a minimum length of 16 bytes"; shorter ones (some producers write 8) are kept as they are, with a FileIdentifierInvalid diagnostic. The ID is required in PDF 2.0 and in encrypted files, where it is never encrypted. Read when FileIdentifier is called; the bytes are a snapshot.

Tip: use kind:method, kind:property, kind:ctor. Press Esc to clear.
