AnchorPoints AnchorPoint Array of 2 Reals BoundingBoxLimitss BoundingBoxLimits CoordinateSpacess CoordinateSpaces Array of Arrays of 2 Reals LongIntegers |
The temporary origin during the transformation. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers. |
|
withMatrix |
Array of 6 Reals |
Transform matrix. Can accept: Array of 6 Reals or TransformationMatrix. |
|
replacingCurrent |
Array of MatrixContent enumerators LongInteger |
Transform components to consider; providing this optional parameter causes the target's existing transform components to be replaced with new values. Without this parameter, the given matrix is concatenated onto the target's existing transform combining the effect of the two. Can accept: MatrixContent enumerator, Array of MatrixContent enumerators or Long Integer. (Optional) |
|
consideringRulerUnits |
If true then a ruler based origin is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional) (default: false) |
String transformAgain ()
Transforms the PDF using the last transformation performed on any object. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformAgainIndividually ()
Transforms the PDF using the last transformation performed on any PDF. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformSequenceAgain ()
Transforms the PDF using the last sequence of transform operations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformSequenceAgainIndividually ()
Transforms the PDF using the last sequence of transformations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
