Interactive FeaturesDestinations
A destination defines a particular view of a document, consisting of the following
items:
The page of the document to be displayed.The location of the document window on that page.The magnification (zoom) factor to use when displaying the page.
Destinations may be associated with outline items (Document
Outline (bookmarks)), annotations (Annotations), or
actions (Actions).
In each case, the destination specifies the view of the document to be presented
when the outline item or annotation is opened or the action is performed. In addition,
the optional document open action can be specified.
Supported Destination Types
The following types are supported by Zend_Pdf component.
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Zoom
Display the specified page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at
the upper-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified
by the factor zoom.
Destination object may be created using
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Zoom::create($page, $left = null, $top = null,
$zoom = null)
method.
Where:
$page is a destination page
(a Zend_Pdf_Page object or a page number).
$left is a left edge of the displayed page
(float).
$top is a top edge of the displayed page
(float).
$zoom is a zoom factor (float).
NULL, specified for $left,
$top or $zoom parameter means
"current viewer application value".

the upper-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified
by the factor zoom.
Display the specified page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit
the entire page within the window both horizontally and vertically. If
the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use
the smaller of the two, centering the page within the window in the other
dimension.
Destination object may be created using
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Fit::create($page)
method.

(float).
Zend_Pdf_Destination_FitBoundingBoxVertically class
also provides the following methods:
FloatgetLeftEdge();setLeftEdge(float $left);Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named
All destinations listed above are "Explicit Destinations".
In addition to this, PDF document may contain a dictionary
of such destinations which may be used to reference from outside the
PDF (e.g.
'http://www.mycompany.com/document.pdf#chapter3').
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named objects allow to refer
destinations from the document named destinations dictionary.
Named destination object may be created using
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named::create(string $name)
method.
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named class provides the only one
additional method:
StringgetName();
Document level destination processingZend_Pdf class provides a set of destinations processing
methods.
Each destination object (including named destinations) can be resolved using the
resolveDestination($destination) method. It returns
corresponding Zend_Pdf_Page object, if destination target
is found, or NULL otherwise.
Zend_Pdf::resolveDestination() method also takes
an optional boolean parameter $refreshPageCollectionHashes,
which is true by default. It forces Zend_Pdf object
to refresh internal page collection hashes since document pages list may be
updated by user using Zend_Pdf::$pages property
(Working with Pages).
It may be turned off for performance reasons,
if it's known that document pages list wasn't changed since last method
request.
Complete list of named destinations can be retrieved using
Zend_Pdf::getNamedDestinations() method. It returns
an array of Zend_Pdf_Target objects, which are actually
either an explicit destination or a GoTo action
(Actions).
Zend_Pdf::getNamedDestination(string $name) method returns
specified named destination (an explicit destination or a GoTo action).
PDF document named destinations dictionary may be updated with
Zend_Pdf::setNamedDestination(string $name, $destination)
method, where $destination is either an explicit destination
(any destination except Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named) or
a GoTo action.
If NULL is specified in place of
$destination, then specified named destination is removed.
Unresolvable named destinations are automatically removed from a document
while document saving.

]]>Actions
Instead of simply jumping to a destination in the document, an annotation or
outline item can specify an action for the viewer application to perform,
such as launching an application, playing a sound, or changing an annotation's
appearance state.

Only Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo actions can be created by
user now. It can be done using
Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo::create($destination) method,
where $destination is a
Zend_Pdf_Destination object or string which can be used
to identify named destination.
It also supports the following methods:
Actions chaining
Actions objects can be chained using Zend_Pdf_Action::$next
public property.
It's an array of Zend_Pdf_Action objects, which also
may have their sub-actions.
Zend_Pdf_Action class supports RecursiveIterator interface,
so child actions may be iterated recursively:
newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$page2 = $pdf->newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
// Page created, but not included into pages list
$page3 = $pdf->newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$pdf->pages[] = $page1;
$pdf->pages[] = $page2;
$action1 = Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo::create(
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Fit::create($page2));
$action2 = Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo::create(
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Fit::create($page3));
$action3 = Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo::create(
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named::create('Chapter1'));
$action4 = Zend_Pdf_Action_GoTo::create(
Zend_Pdf_Destination_Named::create('Chapter5'));
$action2->next[] = $action3;
$action2->next[] = $action4;
$action1->next[] = $action2;
$actionsCount = 1; // Note! Iteration doesn't include top level action and
// walks through children only
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
$action1,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($iterator as $chainedAction) {
$actionsCount++;
}
printf("Actions in a tree: %d\n", $actionsCount++);
