PDF Facades

Facade Pattern

All facade classes in org.aspose.pdf.facades follow the same lifecycle: bindPdf() → operations → save(). They accept file paths, streams, or Document objects.

PdfAnnotationEditor

Flatten, delete, or count annotations across the entire document:

try (PdfAnnotationEditor editor = new PdfAnnotationEditor()) {
    editor.bindPdf("input.pdf");
    editor.flattenAnnotations();
    editor.save("output.pdf");
}

deleteAnnotations(annotationType) removes a specific annotation type by name.

PdfBookmarkEditor

Create and delete PDF outline entries (bookmarks):

try (PdfBookmarkEditor editor = new PdfBookmarkEditor()) {
    editor.bindPdf("input.pdf");
    editor.deleteBookmarks();
    editor.save("output.pdf");
}

PdfContentEditor

Replace text in PDF content streams across the whole document or on a specific page:

try (PdfContentEditor editor = new PdfContentEditor()) {
    editor.bindPdf("template.pdf");
    editor.replaceText("{{Name}}", "John Smith");
    editor.save("output.pdf");
}

PdfFileSecurity

Encrypt a document with AES-256 and set access permissions via DocumentPrivilege:

try (PdfFileSecurity security = new PdfFileSecurity("input.pdf", "out.pdf")) {
    DocumentPrivilege priv = DocumentPrivilege.getForbidAll();
    priv.setAllowPrint(true);
    security.encryptFile("user", "owner", priv, KeySize.x256);
}

PdfExtractor

Extract text page by page from a PDF document:

try (PdfExtractor extractor = new PdfExtractor()) {
    extractor.bindPdf("document.pdf");
    extractor.extractText();
    while (extractor.hasNextPageText()) {
        String text = extractor.getNextPageText();
    }
}

PdfFileStamp

Add page numbers or watermark stamps to PDF pages:

try (PdfFileStamp stamp = new PdfFileStamp("in.pdf", "out.pdf")) {
    stamp.addPageNumber("Page #", PageNumberingStyle.NumeralsArabic, 0, 0, 0, 20);
}
