GetOCG Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Returns a unique identifier of an optional content group according to the index you have specified. You can use the GdPicturePDF.GetOCGCount method to determine the number of all OCG entries (layers) used in the PDF document.
Syntax

Parameters

OCGIdx
The index of the required optional content group. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetOCGCount-1.

Return Value

The unique identifier of the specified OCG entry. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example
How to find out the proper layer identifier and some of the corresponding layer's properties.
