Parameters



Stream
 stream

The stream from which the document is read.



String
 password

Password that is required to open this document.

This method gives you full control over how the document is read. It requires that the stream remains open during the lifetime of the document.

Provided that the argument stream is seekable, information will be read from the PDF file on demand. E.g. if one hits page 10, we seek to the correct position, skipping all other pages, and we return page 10. If after that a request references page 5, we seek back and read that page. This means that one should not close/dispose the binary reader during the whole session one needs the document, pages, bookmarks, or other info extracted from it.

If the stream is not seekable, we will read information eagerly, i.e. the entire document will first be read into memory before we access it.
