getAs(contentType)
Return the data inside this object as a blob converted to the specified content type. This method adds the appropriate extension to the filename—for example, "myfile.pdf".

Consequently, "ShoppingList.12.25.2014" becomes "ShoppingList.12.25.pdf".

setTransform(transform)
Sets the transform of the page element with the provided transform.
Updating the transform of a group changes the absolute transform of the page elements in that group, which can change their visual appearance.
Updating the transform of a page element that is in a group only changes the transform of that page element; it doesn't affect the transforms of the group or other page elements in the group.
For details on how transforms impact the visual appearance of page elements, see getTransform()
.
transform
AffineTransform
The transform that is set for this page element. Return

setWidth(width)
Sets the element's width in points, which is the width of the element's bounding box when the element has no rotation.
This method isn't compatible with all page elements. To learn which page elements aren't compatible with this method, refer to the sizing and positioning limitations.
Parameters Name Type Descriptionwidth
Number
The new width of this page element to set, in points. Return

Key actions include: positioning (`alignOnPage`, `setLeft`, `setTop`), layering (`bringForward`, `sendToBack`), resizing (`scaleHeight`, `setWidth`), and replacing (`replace`). Images can be duplicated, removed, or have their links modified. Methods exist for getting properties like size, position, rotation, alt text, and unique IDs. It can also obtain the `Blob` and content of an `Image`. Image transforms can be set, and they can be selected.\n"]]
