in reply to Extracting embedded file from PDF
In lieu of embedded-files-related examples, quite a few others distribution provides might be considered "suitable" to study, especially considering "Internals" and "Reference" (warning: 53 Mb PDF).
use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say'; use Data::Dump; use Encode 'decode'; use CAM::PDF; my $doc = CAM::PDF-> new( 'test.pdf' ) or die; dd get_embedded_files( $doc ); # Get a hashref. Keys (filenames) may happen to be encoded as # UTF16-BE, with prepended BOM. Sort it out yourself, if names # are relevant at all. sub get_embedded_files { my $doc = shift; my $names_dict = $doc-> getValue( $doc-> getRootDict-> { Names }) +or return {}; my $files_tree = $names_dict-> { EmbeddedFiles } +or return {}; my @agenda = $files_tree; my $ret = {}; # Hardly ever more than single leaf, but... while ( @agenda ) { my $item = $doc-> getValue( shift @agenda ); if ( $item-> { Kids }) { my $kids = $doc-> getValue( $item-> { Kids }); push @agenda, @$kids } else { my $nodes = $doc-> getValue( $item-> { Names }); my @names = map { $doc-> getValue( $_ )} @$nodes; while ( @names ) { my ( $k, $v ) = splice @names, 0, 2; my $ef_node = $v-> { EF }; my $ef_dict = $doc-> getValue( $ef_node ); my $any_num = ( values %$ef_dict )[ 0 ]-> { value }; my $obj_node = $doc-> dereference( $any_num ); $ret-> { $k } = $doc-> decodeOne( $obj_node-> { value +}, 0 ); } } } return $ret }
If it looks unpleasant and complex, then it is. "getValue" everywhere may lead to slight temporary madness in larger projects.
I only tested it against couple of my files. If anything is broken, here's a backup brute force solution (since files are probably simple and overhead tiny) -- just enumerate all objects, one of them will be yours.
use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say'; use CAM::PDF; use XML::LibXML; my $doc = CAM::PDF-> new( 'test.pdf' ) or die; $doc-> cacheObjects; while ( my ( $k, $v ) = each %{ $doc-> { objcache }}) { next unless $v-> { value }{ type } eq 'dictionary' and $v-> { value }{ value }{ StreamData }; my $str = $doc-> decodeOne( $v-> { value }, 0 ); my $dom = eval { XML::LibXML-> load_xml( string => $str )}; next unless $dom; # Process expected XML, skip possible others (Adobe XMP, etc.) # ... }
