Constructor Detail

PdfImageXObject

public PdfImageXObject(ImageData image)

Creates Image XObject by image.

Parameters:

image - ImageData with actual image data.

PdfImageXObject

public PdfImageXObject(ImageData image,
                       PdfImageXObject imageMask)

Creates Image XObject by image.

Parameters:

image - ImageData with actual image data.

imageMask - PdfImageXObject with image mask.

PdfImageXObject

public PdfImageXObject(PdfStream pdfStream)

Create PdfImageXObject instance by PdfStream. Note, this constructor doesn't perform any additional checks

Parameters:

pdfStream - PdfStream with Image XObject.

See Also:

PdfXObject.makeXObject(PdfStream)

Method Detail

getWidth

public float getWidth()

Gets width of image, Width key.

Overrides:

getWidth in class PdfXObject

Returns:

float value.

getHeight

public float getHeight()

Gets height of image, Height key.

Overrides:

getHeight in class PdfXObject

Returns:

float value.

flush

public void flush()

To manually flush a PdfObject behind this wrapper, you have to ensure that this object is added to the document, i.e. it has an indirect reference. Basically this means that before flushing you need to explicitly call PdfObjectWrapper.makeIndirect(PdfDocument). For example: wrapperInstance.makeIndirect(document).flush(); Note, that not every wrapper require this, only those that have such warning in documentation.

Overrides:

flush in class PdfObjectWrapper<PdfStream>

copyTo

public PdfImageXObject copyTo(PdfDocument document)

Copy Image XObject to the specified document.

Parameters:

document - target document

Returns:

just created instance of PdfImageXObject.

getBufferedImage

public BufferedImage getBufferedImage()
                               throws IOException

Gets image bytes, wrapped with buffered image.

Returns:

BufferedImage image.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs during reading.

getImageBytes

public byte[] getImageBytes()

Gets decoded image bytes.

Returns:

byte array.

getImageBytes

public byte[] getImageBytes(boolean decoded)

Gets image bytes. Note, PdfName.DCTDecode, PdfName.JBIG2Decode and PdfName.JPXDecode filters will be ignored.

Parameters:

decoded - if true, decodes stream bytes.

Returns:

byte array.

identifyImageType

public ImageType identifyImageType()

Identifies the type of the image that is stored in the bytes of this PdfImageXObject. Note that this has nothing to do with the original type of the image. For instance, the return value of this method will never be ImageType.PNG as we loose this information when converting a PNG image into something that can be put into a PDF file. The possible values are: ImageType.JPEG, ImageType.JPEG2000, ImageType.JBIG2, ImageType.TIFF, ImageType.PNG

Returns:

the identified type of image

identifyImageFileExtension

public String identifyImageFileExtension()

Identifies recommended file extension to store the bytes of this PdfImageXObject. Possible values are: 'png', 'jpg', 'jp2', 'tif', 'jbig2'. This extension can later be used together with the result of getImageBytes().

Returns:

a String with recommended file extension

identifyImageType()

put

public PdfImageXObject put(PdfName key,
                           PdfObject value)

Puts the value into Image XObject dictionary and associates it with the specified key. If the key is already present, it will override the old value with the specified one.

Parameters:

key - key to insert or to override

value - the value to associate with the specified key

Returns:

object itself.

createPdfStream

@Deprecated
protected static PdfStream createPdfStream(ImageData image,
                                                       PdfImageXObject imageMask)

Deprecated.
