public static Image create (Doc doc, byte[] image_data, int width, int height, int bpc, ColorSpace color_space)

doc A document to which the image should be added. The 'Doc' object can be obtained using getDoc() or getSDFDoc().

public static Image create (Doc doc, String filename, Obj encoder_hint)

Creates and embeds an Image from an external file.

Parameters
doc A document to which the image should be added. The 'Doc' object can be obtained using getDoc() or getSDFDoc().
filename The name of the image file. Currently supported formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, EMF, and WMF.
encoder_hint A parameter to fine tune compression or to select a different compression algorithm. For a concrete example of how to create encoder hints, please take a look at JBIG2Test and AddImage sample projects. The image encoder accepts the following hints: - /JBIG2; SDF.Name(e_JBIG2), An SDF Name Object with value equal to "JBIG2". If the image is monochrome (i.e. bpc == 1), the encoder will compress the image using JBIG2Decode filter. Note that JBIG2 compression is not recommended for use on scanned text/financial documents or equivalent since its lossless nature can lead to similar looking numbers or characters being replaced. - [/JBIG2 /Threshold 0.6 /SharePages 50] - Compress a monochrome image using lossy JBIG2Decode compression with the given image threshold and by sharing segments from a specified number of pages. The threshold is a floating point number in the rage from 0 to 1. Increasing the threshold value will decrease the loss of image quality, but may increase the file size. The default value for threshold is 0.85. "SharePages" parameter can be used to specify the maximum number of pages sharing a common 'JBIG2Globals' segment stream. Increasing the value of this parameter improves compression ratio at the expense of memory usage. - [/CCITT] - Compress a monochrome (i.e. bpc == 1) image using CCITT Group 4 compression. This algorithm typically produces larger output than JBIG2, but is lossless. This makes it much more suitable for scanned text documents. CCITT is the best option for more general monochrome compression use cases, since JBIG2 has potential to change image content. - [/JPEG] - Use JPEG compression with default compression. - [/JPEG /Quality 60] - Use JPEG compression with given quality setting. The "Quality" value is expressed on the 0..100 scale. - [/JPEG2000] - Use JPEG2000 compression to compress a RGB or a grayscale image. - [/JP2] - Use JPEG2000 compression with JP2 encoding. JP2 does not support CMYK images. - [/Flate] - Use Flate compression with maximum compression at the expense of speed. - [/Flate /Level 9] - Use Flate compression using specified compression level. Compression "Level" must be a number between 0 and 9: 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time). - /RAW or [/RAW] - The encoder will not use any compression method and the image will be stored in the raw format.
Returns
  • Image object representing the embedded image.
