UWP / Guides / Extract layer
To extract PDF layers or OCG (optional content group) from a document.
PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc(filename);
Page page = doc.GetPage(1);
Config init_cfg = doc.GetOCGConfig();
Context ctx = new Context(init_cfg);
PDFDraw pdfdraw = new PDFDraw();
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.
Obj ocgs = doc.GetOCGs(); // Get the array of all OCGs in the document.
int i, sz = ocgs.Size();
for (i=0; i<sz; ++i)
{
Group ocg = new Group(ocgs.GetAt(i));
ctx.ResetStates(false);
ctx.SetState(ocg, true);
string fname = "pdf_layers_" + ocg.GetName() + ".png";
pdfdraw.Export(page, output_path + fname);
}
// Now draw content that is not part of any layer...
ctx.SetNonOCDrawing(true);
ctx.SetOCDrawMode(Context.OCDrawMode.e_NoOC);
pdfdraw.Export(page, output_path + "pdf_layers_non_oc.png");
