Ruby / Guides / Extract layer
To extract PDF layers or OCG (optional content group) from a document.
doc = PDFDoc.new($filename)
page = doc.GetPage(1)
init_cfg = doc.GetOCGConfig
ctx = Context.new(init_cfg)
pdfdraw = PDFDraw.new
pdfdraw.SetImageSize(1000, 1000)
pdfdraw.SetOCGContext(ctx) # Render the page using the given OCG context.
# 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.
ocgs = doc.GetOCGs # Get the array of all OCGs in the document.
sz = ocgs.Size
i = 0
while i < sz do
ocg = Group.new(ocgs.GetAt(i))
ctx.ResetStates(false)
ctx.SetState(ocg, true)
fname = "pdf_layers_" + ocg.GetName + ".png"
pdfdraw.Export(page, $output_path + fname)
i = i + 1
end
# Now draw content that is not part of any layer...
ctx.SetNonOCDrawing(true)
ctx.SetOCDrawMode(Context::E_NoOC)
pdfdraw.Export(page, $output_path + "pdf_layers_non_oc.png")
