for use with Adobe Acrobat Exchange or Adobe Acrobat Reader. It allows you to
explore the contents and internal structure of a PDF document.This plug-in is
ideal for looking at resources used within a PDF file, fonts, bounding boxes
etc. It will be of use to developers working with PDF files, or anyone who has
an interest in the internal structure of such files.Before you can use PDF
Explorer you must first open the PDF document whose contents and structure you
wish to explore using this plug-in. Then select the PDF Explorer option from
Exchange's Plug-Ins menu. Detailed information concerning the open PDF file is
shown in the displayed dialog box..The PDF Explorer dialog is split into two
halves. On the left-hand side a tree view of all the low-level (COS) objects
found within your PDF file is given. Initially this simply shows one entry,
Document. Click on the plus sign next to this entry to expand the details. Keep
clicking on the plus signs next to the items you are interested in until you
reach the level of information you require.Further information on the item
selected is shown on the right-hand side of the dialog. Initially this is blank:
no entries are shown, but clicking on one of the items displayed on the extended
tree structure on the left will display detailed information on the directory,
array or other COS object selected.
