public Bitmap getBitmap (Page page, Bitmap.Config image)

Get the bitmap for the given page.

Parameters
page The source PDF page.
image The input image
Returns
  • the bitmap containing the rasterized image of the given page.

public Bitmap getBitmap (Page page)

Get the bitmap from given page

Parameters
page the input page
Returns
  • the bitmap

public byte[] getByteBuffer (Page page)

public PDFDraw.IntBufferData getIntBuffer (Page page)

Get the rendered page with its pixels in an int array.

Parameters
page the input page
Returns
  • the IntBufferData variable that contains the information of the rendered page.

public Separation[] getSeparationBitmaps (Page page)

Gets the Separations from the page

Parameters
page The source PDF page.
Returns
  • Separation array

public void setAntiAliasing (boolean enable_aa)

Enable or disable anti-aliasing. Anti-Aliasing is a technique used to improve the visual quality of images when displaying them on low resolution devices (for example, low DPI computer monitors). Anti-aliasing is enabled by default.

Parameters
enable_aa whether to enable or disable anti-aliasing

public void setCaching (boolean enabled)

Set the caching.

Parameters
enabled whether to enable caching

public void setCaching ()

Enables or disables caching. Caching can improve the rendering performance in cases where the same page will be drawn multiple times.

public void setClipRect (Rect rect)

clip the render region to the provided rect (in page space)

public void setColorPostProcessMode (int mode)

Set the color post processing transformation. This transform is applied to the rasterized bitmap as the final step in the rasterization process, and is applied directly to the resulting bitmap (disregarding any color space information). Color post processing only supported for RGBA output.

Parameters
mode is the specific transform to be applied

public void setDPI (double dpi)

Set the output image resolution. DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. This parameter is used to specify the output image size and quality. A typical screen resolution for monitors these days is 92 DPI, but printers could use 200 DPI or more.

Note: The size of resulting image is a function of DPI and the dimensions of the source PDF page. For example, is DPI is 92 and page is 8 inches wide, the output bitmap will have 92*8 = 736 pixels per line. If you know the dimensions of the destination bitmap, but don't care about DPI of the image you can use pdfdraw.SetImageSize() instead.

Note: if you would like to rasterize extremely large bitmaps (e.g. with resolutions of 2000 DPI or more) it is not practical to use PDFDraw directly because of the memory required to store the entire image. In this case, you can use PDFRasterizer directly to generate the rasterized image in stripes or tiles.

Parameters
dpi the new DPI

public void setDefaultPageColor (byte r, byte g, byte b)

Sets the default color of the page backdrop. By default, the page color is white.

Note: If the page backdrop is set to transparent, the page backdrop will be ignored.

Parameters
r the red component of the page backdrop color.
g the green component of the page backdrop color.
b the blue component of the page backdrop color.

public void setDrawAnnotations (boolean render_annots)

Enable or disable annotation and forms rendering. By default, all annotations and form fields are rendered.

Parameters
render_annots True to draw annotations, false otherwise.

public void setErrorReportProc (ErrorReportProc error_proc, Object data)

Set the error handling function to be called in case an error is encountered during page rendering.

Parameters
error_proc Error handling callback function (or delegate in .NET)
data Custom data to be passed as a second parameter to 'error_proc'.

public void setFlipYAxis (boolean flip_y)

Flips the vertical (i.e. Y) axis of the image.

Parameters
flip_y true to flip the Y axis, false otherwise. For compatibility with most raster formats 'flip_y' is true by default.

public void setGamma (double exp)

Set the gamma factor used for anti-aliased rendering.

Note: Gamma correction is used only in the built-in rasterizer.

Parameters
exp is the exponent value of gamma function. Typical values are in the range from 0.1 to 3. Gamma correction can be used to improve the quality of anti-aliased image output and can (to some extent) decrease the appearance common anti-aliasing artifacts (such as pixel width lines between polygons).

public void setHighlightFields (boolean highlight_fields)

Enable or disable highlighting form fields. Default is disabled.

Parameters
highlight_fields true to highlight, false otherwise.

public void setImageSize (int width, int height)

SetImageSize can be used instead of SetDPI() to adjust page scaling so that image fits into a buffer of given dimensions. If this function is used, DPI will be calculated dynamically for each page so that every page fits into the buffer of given dimensions.

Parameters
width - The width of the image, in pixels/samples.
height - The height of the image, in pixels/samples.

public void setImageSize (int width, int height, boolean preserve_aspect_ratio)

Set the image size.

Parameters
width image width
height image height
preserve_aspect_ratio whether to preserve aspect ratio

public void setImageSmoothing (boolean smoothing_enabled)

Set the image smoothing.

Parameters
smoothing_enabled whether to enable image smoothing

public void setImageSmoothing ()

Enable image smoothing. The rasterizer allows a tradeoff between rendering quality and rendering speed. This function can be used to indicate the preference between rendering speed and quality.

Note: image smoothing option has effect only if the source image has higher resolution that the output resolution of the image on the rasterized page. PDFNet automatically controls at what resolution/zoom factor, 'image smoothing' needs to take effect.

public void setImageSmoothing (boolean smoothing_enabled, boolean hq_image_resampling)

Set the image smoothing.

Parameters
smoothing_enabled whether to enable image smoothing
hq_image_resampling whether to use a higher quality (but slower) smoothing algorithm

public void setOCGContext (Context ctx)

Set the Optional Content Group (OCG) context that should be used when rendering the page. This function can be used to selectively render optional content (such as PDF layers) based on the states of optional content groups in the given context.

Parameters
ctx Optional Content Group (OCG) context, or NULL if the rasterizer should render all content on the page.

public void setOverprint (int op)

Enable or disable support for overprint. Overprint is a device dependent feature and the results will vary depending on the output color space and supported colorants (i.e. CMYK, CMYK+spot, RGB, etc). By default overprint is enabled.

Parameters
op 0: always disabled; 1: always enabled; 2: enabled for PDF/X files only. The default is 2.

public void setPageBox (int region)

Selects the page box/region to rasterize.

Parameters
region Page box to rasterize. By default, PDFDraw will rasterize page crop box.

public void setPageTransparent (boolean is_transparent)

Set the page color to transparent. By default, PDFDraw assumes that the page is imposed directly on an opaque white surface. Some applications may need to impose the page on a different backdrop. In this case any pixels that are not covered during rendering will be transparent.

Note: If page transparency is enabled, the alpha channel will be preserved when the image is exported as PNG, TIFF, or RAW.

Parameters
is_transparent Set to true if the page's backdrop color is transparent; If is_transparent is set to false the page's backdrop will be a opaque white surface.

public void setPathHinting (boolean enable_ph)

Enable or disable path hinting. Path hinting is used to slightly adjust paths in order to avoid or alleviate artifacts of hair line cracks between certain graphical elements. Path hinting is enabled by default.

Parameters
enable_ph whether to enable or disable path hinting

public void setPrintMode (boolean is_printing)

Tells the rasterizer to render the page 'print' mode. Certain page elements (such as annotations or OCG-s) are meant to be visible either on the screen or on the printed paper but not both. A common example, is the "Submit" button on electronic forms. By default, print mode flag is set to false.

Parameters
is_printing set to true if the page should be rendered in print mode.

public void setRasterizerType (int type)

Set the core graphics library used for rasterization and rendering. Using this method it is possible to quickly switch between different implementations. By default, PDFDraw uses the built-in, platform independent rasterizer.

Parameters
type Rasterizer type.

public void setRotate (int r)

Set the rotation value for this page.

Note: This method is used only for drawing purposes and it does not modify the document (unlike Page::SetRotate()).

Parameters
r the new rotation value

public void setThinLineAdjustment (boolean pixel_grid_fit, boolean stroke_adjust)

Set thin line adjustment parameters.

Parameters
pixel_grid_fit if true (horizontal/vertical) thin lines will be snapped to integer pixel positions. This helps make thin lines look sharper and clearer. This option is turned off by default and only works if path hinting is enabled.
stroke_adjust if true auto stroke adjustment is enabled. Currently, this would make lines with sub-pixel width to be one-pixel wide. This option is turned on by default.
