ExaminerResultsFromStream Method (Stream) |
Attempts to build an ExaminerResults object from the stream provided. To the greatest extent
possible, FromStream attempts to get some information from the file. If the file is a PDF
and it is encrypted, FromStream will throw an IncorrectPasswordException.
Note that many of the properties in the file cascade. For example, if IsPdf returns false, no other property will be valid. If IsEncrypted is true, no other properties except IsPdf, IsPdfA, and IsIncorrectVersionForXrefStream will be valid.
The properties within ExaminerResults are meant to reflect a very lightweight examination of the file and are in no way are exhaustive. PDF is a very complicated file format and there are a number of exceptions in the specification that are counter to the goal of having a light-weight interface to the information within the file. For example, because a PDF file presents information that indicates that it meets the archival variant, PDF/A, this doesn't guarantee that the document meets all requirements. ExaminerResults reflects what is advertised by the file and not necessarily the entire depth of content.
The stream position can not be counted on to be at a consistent location upon return.
If the document is encrypted, FromStream will throw an IncorrectPasswordException.
