// PAGE ATTRIBUTES
// The getAttribute method works with pages and form XObjects. It returns the value of the
// requested attribute from the page/form XObject's dictionary, taking inheritance from the
// pages tree into consideration. For pages, the attributes /MediaBox, /CropBox, /Resources, and
// /Rotate are inheritable, meaning that if they are not present directly on the page node, they
// may be inherited from ancestor nodes in the pages tree.
//
// There are two ways that an attribute can be "shared":
//
// * For inheritable attributes on pages, it may appear in a higher level node of the pages tree
//
// * For any attribute, the attribute may be an indirect object which may be referenced by more
// than one page/form XObject.
//
// If copy_if_shared is true, then this method will replace the attribute with a shallow copy if
// it is indirect or inherited and return the copy. You should do this if you are going to
// modify the returned object and want the modifications to apply to the current page/form
// XObject only.
QPDF_DLL
QPDFObjectHandle getAttribute(std::string const& name, bool copy_if_shared);
// PAGE BOXES
//
// Pages have various types of boundary boxes. These are described in detail in the PDF
// specification (section 14.11.2 Page boundaries). They are, by key in the page dictionary:
//
// * /MediaBox -- boundaries of physical page
// * /CropBox -- clipping region of what is displayed
// * /BleedBox -- clipping region for production environments
// * /TrimBox -- dimensions of final printed page after trimming
// * /ArtBox -- extent of meaningful content including margins
//
// Of these, only /MediaBox is required. If any are absent, the
// fallback value for /CropBox is /MediaBox, and the fallback
// values for the other boxes are /CropBox.
//
// As noted above (PAGE ATTRIBUTES), /MediaBox and /CropBox can be inherited from parent nodes
// in the pages tree. The other boxes can't be inherited.
//
// When the comments below refer to the "effective value" of a box, this takes into
// consideration both inheritance through the pages tree (in the case of /MediaBox and /CropBox)
// and fallback values for missing attributes (for all except /MediaBox).
//
// For the methods below, copy_if_shared is passed to getAttribute and therefore refers only to
// indirect objects and values that are inherited through the pages tree.
//
// If copy_if_fallback is true, a copy is made if the object's value was obtained by falling
// back to a different box.
//
// The copy_if_shared and copy_if_fallback parameters carry across multiple layers. This is
// explained below.
//
// You should set copy_if_shared to true if you want to modify a bounding box for the current
// page without affecting other pages but you don't want to change the fallback behavior. For
// example, if you want to modify the /TrimBox for the current page only but have it continue to
// fall back to the value of /CropBox or /MediaBox if they are not defined, you could set
// copy_if_shared to true.
//
// You should set copy_if_fallback to true if you want to modify a specific box as distinct from
// any other box. For example, if you want to make /TrimBox differ from /CropBox, then you
// should set copy_if_fallback to true.
//
// The copy_if_fallback flags were added in qpdf 11.
//
// For example, suppose that neither /CropBox nor /TrimBox is present on a page but /CropBox is
// present in the page's parent node in the page tree.
//
// * getTrimBox(false, false) would return the /CropBox from the parent node.
//
// * getTrimBox(true, false) would make a shallow copy of the /CropBox from the parent node into
// the current node and return it.
//
// * getTrimBox(false, true) would make a shallow copy of the /CropBox from the parent node into
// /TrimBox of the current node and return it.
//
// * getTrimBox(true, true) would make a shallow copy of the /CropBox from the parent node into
// the current node, then make a shallow copy of the resulting copy to /TrimBox of the current
// node, and then return that.
//
// To illustrate how these parameters carry across multiple layers, suppose that neither
// /MediaBox, /CropBox, nor /TrimBox is present on a page but /MediaBox is present on the
// parent. In this case:
//
// * getTrimBox(false, false) would return the value of /MediaBox from the parent node.
//
// * getTrimBox(true, false) would copy /MediaBox to the current node and return it.
//
// * getTrimBox(false, true) would first copy /MediaBox from the parent to /CropBox, then copy
// /CropBox to /TrimBox, and then return the result.
//
// * getTrimBox(true, true) would first copy /MediaBox from the parent to the current page, then
// copy it to /CropBox, then copy /CropBox to /TrimBox, and then return the result.
//
// If you need different behavior, call getAttribute directly and take care of your own copying.
