# PDFPage

PDFPage, a subclass of NSObject, defines methods used to render PDF pages and work with annotations, text, and selections.

## Declaration

```swift
class PDFPage
```

## Mentioned in

Adding Custom Graphics to a PDF

## Overview

Overview PDFPage objects are flexible and powerful. With them you can render PDF content onscreen or to a printer, add annotations, count characters, define selections, and get the textual content of a page as an NSString object. Your application instantiates a PDFPage object by asking for one from a PDFDocument object. For simple display and navigation of PDF documents within your application, you don’t need to use PDFPage. You need only use PDFView.
