public PDAction() 
{
        action = new COSDictionary();
        setType( TYPE );
}

Default constructor.

 public PDAction(COSDictionary a) 
{
        action = a;
}

Constructor.

Parameters:

a - The action dictionary.

 public COSDictionary getCOSDictionary() 
{
        return action;
}

Convert this standard java object to a COS object.

 public COSBase getCOSObject() 
{
        return action;
}

Convert this standard java object to a COS object.

 public List getNext() 
{
        List retval = null;
        COSBase next = action.getDictionaryObject( "Next" );
        if( next instanceof COSDictionary )
        {
            PDAction pdAction = PDActionFactory.createAction( (COSDictionary) next );
            retval = new COSArrayList(pdAction, next, action, COSName.getPDFName( "Next" ));
        }
        else if( next instanceof COSArray )
        {
            COSArray array = (COSArray)next;
            List actions = new ArrayList();
            for( int i=0; i< array.size(); i++ )
            {
                actions.add( PDActionFactory.createAction( (COSDictionary) array.getObject( i )));
            }
            retval = new COSArrayList( actions, array );
        }
        return retval;
}

This will get the next action, or sequence of actions, to be performed after this one. The value is either a single action dictionary or an array of action dictionaries to be performed in order.

 public String getSubType() 
{
       return action.getNameAsString( "S" );
}

This will get the type of action that the actions dictionary describes. If present, must be Action for an action dictionary.

 public String getType() 
{
       return action.getNameAsString( "Type" );
}

This will get the type of PDF object that the actions dictionary describes. If present must be Action for an action dictionary.

 public  void setNext(List next) 
{
        action.setItem( "Next", COSArrayList.converterToCOSArray( next ) );
}

This will set the next action, or sequence of actions, to be performed after this one. The value is either a single action dictionary or an array of action dictionaries to be performed in order.

 public  void setSubType(String s) 
{
       action.setName( "S", s );
}

This will set the type of action that the actions dictionary describes. If present, must be Action for an action dictionary.

 public  void setType(String type) 
{
       action.setName( "Type", type );
}

This will set the type of PDF object that the actions dictionary describes. If present must be Action for an action dictionary.
