Hello guys.
I am still on my looong way to code some automated redaction tool.
So far, I am able to redact simple texts (i.e., simple/single 'Tj'
operators). But now I face the fact that there are some texts to whom I
can't apply the same technique: complex 'Tj' operators. I was looking
deeply into 'pdfedit' source and I found a piece of code that do what I
need, except for the fact that it is too tied to GUI (or at least, that's
what I reach to understand) :(
I "sweep" a bit and now I have, in one hand, a QSA script with the right
functionality, and in the other hand, some C++ code extending somehow the
current 'pdfedit' version. But there is something left: the QSA part needs
all the involved QSPdfOperators, but I don't know how to ...return them?
emit them? from the C++ code (where I have a collection of the involved
PdfOperators --note the lack of 'QS' preffix). How can I just create a new
instance of a QSPdfOperator having a PdfOperator? I tried this:
...
BaseCore *bc = new BaseCore();
boost::shared_ptr<PdfOperator> textOp;
...
return QSPdfOperator(textOp, bc);
but I got:
error: no matching function for call to
‘gui::QSPdfOperator::QSPdfOperator(gui::QSPdfOperator)’
note: candidates are:
...
note:
gui::QSPdfOperator::QSPdfOperator(boost::shared_ptr<pdfobjects::PdfOperator>,
gui::BaseCore*)
note: candidate expects 2 arguments, 1 provided
What is wrong? I am missing something for sure, but I don't know what it is
:(
Could you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
