Save a PDF document to a raw vector

Source: R/save.R
pdf_save_to_raw.Rd

Like pdf_save() but returns the saved PDF's bytes as a raw vector instead of writing to disk. Useful for piping the serialised PDF directly into another consumer (httr2::req_body_raw(), aws.s3::put_object(), etc.).

Usage

pdf_save_to_raw(
  doc,
  incremental = FALSE,
  remove_security = FALSE,
  subset_new_fonts = TRUE,
  version = NULL
)

Arguments

doc

A pdfium_doc from pdf_doc_open() or pdf_doc_new().

incremental

Logical. If TRUE, append an incremental update preserving the original byte layout (required for signed-PDF workflows). If FALSE (default), rewrite the whole file.

remove_security

Logical. If TRUE, strip the encryption dictionary from the saved copy. Defaults FALSE. Use with caution.

subset_new_fonts

Logical. If TRUE (default), subset newly-embedded fonts the same way Acrobat does. Set FALSE to embed full font tables.

version

Integer or NULL. The PDF version in PDFium's "10 * major + minor" form (e.g. 17 for PDF 1.7). NULL (default) preserves the input file's declared version.

Value

A raw vector containing the saved PDF.
