Namespace:  BitMiracle.Docotic.Pdf
Assembly:  BitMiracle.Docotic.Pdf (in BitMiracle.Docotic.Pdf.dll)

Syntax

C#
public bool UseObjectStreams { get; set; }
VB
Public Property UseObjectStreams As Boolean
	Get
	Set

Property Value

Type: Boolean
true if the library should use object and cross-reference streams; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Default value: true.

When this property is true, the library packs objects into compressed object streams. The library also uses cross-reference streams instead of regular cross-reference tables. This helps to produce smaller output files but will require Adobe Reader 6 released in 2003 or newer to view produced PDF files.

The value of this property is ignored when ProducePdfA is true because object streams are not allowed in PDF/A documents.

Even when this property is false, the library can produce a file with cross-reference streams (but not with object streams). This happens when the file already contains a cross-reference stream and WriteIncrementally is true.

The library won't produce object streams when incrementally updating a file without cross-reference streams. Even if this property is true.
