Enum ActionType 

pub enum ActionType {
    Uri,
    GoTo,
    GoToR,
    Named,
    JavaScript,
    SubmitForm,
    Launch,
    ImportData,
    Unknown(String),
}

Known PDF action types per ISO 32000-2 §12.6.4.

The non-Unknown variants are the action subtypes the parser recognizes and decodes into typed Action values. Unknown preserves the original /S name so callers can still log or audit vendor-extension actions without losing information.

Variants

Uri

/URI — open a URL in the default browser.

GoTo

/GoTo — jump to a destination within the same document.

GoToR

/GoToR — jump to a destination in another (remote) PDF file.

Named

/Named — execute one of the PDF-defined named actions (NextPage, FirstPage, Print, Find, …).

JavaScript

/JavaScript — execute embedded JavaScript. Security-sensitive; see is_inert_on_flatten.

SubmitForm

/SubmitForm — POST form data to a remote URL. Security-sensitive.

Launch

/Launch — launch an external application or open a local file. Highly security-sensitive (arbitrary code execution path).

ImportData

/ImportData — import FDF form data from an external file. Security-sensitive.

Unknown(String)

An action subtype the parser did not recognize. The inner string preserves the original /S name verbatim so callers can audit vendor extensions.

Implementations

impl ActionType

pub fn from_name(name: &str) -> Self

Map a PDF /S action-type name (without leading slash) to an ActionType. Unknown names are preserved verbatim in the Unknown variant.

pub fn is_inert_on_flatten(&self) -> bool

Whether this action type should be stripped (made inert) when flattening the document.

true for actions that have side effects beyond navigation — JavaScript, SubmitForm, Launch, ImportData. A flattened PDF is meant to be a static archival artifact; any of these actions surviving into the flattened output is a security and archival-fidelity concern. Use this to decide whether to drop the action during flattening.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ActionType

fn clone(&self) -> ActionType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ActionType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for ActionType

fn eq(&self, other: &ActionType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
