Expose constructors? #53

Closed o1lo01ol1o closed 4 years ago

Hi, I have a use case where I need to build up an ADT representation of a (smallish) pdf document in order to do some analysis on it. I notice that the Page constructor is not exported. Could it (and any other ctors needed to represent the full document) be exported so that users can de-structure nodes?
Thanks

@o1lo01ol1o Hi, are you using the master or the version from Hackage? The former exposes Page constructor from Pdf.Document.Internal.Types, the later - from Pdf.Toolbox.Document.Internal.Types.

Though I don't think it will help you, Page contains a reference into the corresponding object in the PDF file, so it's not a persistent data structure.

Ah, I missed this, thanks!

Yes, I'm aware that I'll need to build something by following those references.
