PDFlib Text Extraction Toolkit (TET) Manual

The following method of the String class converts a Unicode string to a string according
to the encoding specified in the enc parameter:
byte[] getBytes(String enc)
Javadoc documentation for TET. The TET package contains Javadoc documentation for
TET. The Javadoc contains only abbreviated descriptions of all TET API methods; please
refer to Section 10, »TET Library API Reference«, page 141, for more details.
In order to configure Javadoc for TET in Eclipse proceed as follows:
> In the Package Explorer right-click on the Java project and select Javadoc Location.
> Click on Browse... and select the path where the Javadoc (which is part of the TET
package) is located.
After these steps you can browse the Javadoc for TET, e.g. with the Java Browsing perspective
or via the Help menu.
Exception handling. The TET language binding for Java will throw native Java exceptions
of the class TETException. TET client code must use standard Java exception syntax:
TET tet = null;
try {
...TET method invocations...
} catch (TETException e) {
System.err.print("TET exception occurred:\n");
System.err.print("[" + e.get_errnum() + "] " + e.get_apiname() + ": " +
e.get_errmsg() + "\n");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
} finally {
if (tet != null) {
tet.delete(); /* delete the TET object */
}
}
Since TET declares appropriate throws clauses, client code must either catch all possible
exceptions or declare those itself.
