Nodejs / Guides / Extract layer
To extract PDF layers or OCG (optional content group) from a document.
async function main() {
const doc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.createFromURL(filename);
const page = await doc.getPage(1);
const initCfg = await doc.getOCGConfig();
const ctx = await PDFNet.OCGContext.createFromConfig(initCfg);
const pdfdraw = await PDFNet.PDFDraw.create();
pdfdraw.setImageSize(1000, 1000);
pdfdraw.setOCGContext(ctx);
// Disable drawing of content that is not optional (i.e. is not part of any layer).
ctx.setNonOCDrawing(false);
// Now render each layer in the input document to a separate image.
const ocgs = await doc.getOCGs(); // Get the array of all OCGs in the document.
let i;
const sz = await ocgs.size();
for (i = 0; i < sz; ++i) {
const ocg = await PDFNet.OCG.createFromObj(await ocgs.getAt(i));
ctx.resetStates(false);
ctx.setState(ocg, true);
let fname = 'pdf_layers_';
fname += await ocg.getName();
fname += '.png';
const pageBuffer = await pdfdraw.exportStream(page);
const imageData = new Blob([pageBuffer], {type: 'image/png'}));
}
// Now draw content that is not part of any layer...
ctx.setNonOCDrawing(true);
ctx.setOCDrawMode(PDFNet.OCGContext.OCDrawMode.e_NoOC);
const nonLayerBuffer = await pdfdraw.exportStream(page);
const data = new Blob([nonLayerBuffer], {type: 'image/png'}));
}
PDFNet.runWithCleanup(main);
