public abstract class PdfNamedObjectWrapper<TDataObject extends PdfDataObject>
extends PdfObjectWrapper<TDataObject>

High-level representation of a strongly-typed PDF object that can be referenced also through a name. When such a name exists, the object is called 'named object', otherwise 'unnamed object'.

Remarks

Some categories of objects in a PDF file can be also referred to by name rather than by object reference. The correspondence between names and objects is established by the document's name dictionary [PDF:1.6:3.6.3].

The name's purpose is to provide a further level of referential abstraction especially for references across diverse PDF documents.
