SetParserLimits
Document loading, security, performance
Description
Sets hard limits for nested PDF objects, entries in one directly parsed container and tolerated parser errors
Syntax
Delphi
Function TPDFlib.SetParserLimits(MaxNesting, MaxContainerItems: Integer): Integer; Overload;Function TPDFlib.SetParserLimits(MaxNesting, MaxContainerItems, MaxErrors: Integer): Integer; Overload;Parameters
| MaxNesting | The maximum nested array and dictionary depth, at least 1 |
|---|---|
| MaxContainerItems | The maximum items in one array or dictionary, or 0 for no item limit |
| MaxErrors | The maximum tolerant parser errors before parsing stops, or 0 for no error-count limit |
Return values
| 1 | The limits were accepted |
|---|---|
| 0 | MaxNesting was less than 1 or another limit was negative |
Remarks
The two-parameter overload preserves the configured error limit
The limits apply to documents already owned by the instance and to every document created by later file, stream, string, edit-journal, QDF and integrity-check loading paths
Set strict limits before loading untrusted input, and use 0 for an unrestricted container size or error count
