ImagegetImage(RectexportRect)

Parameters

exportRect: Rect

A Rect describing the region of the page to export, specified in user space coordinates. One user unit corresponds to 1/72 inch. To export the entire page, set this parameter to the page's CropBox. User space coordinates correspond to the unrotated page; the rotation specified in Page.Rotation is not taken into account with these coordinates.

Returns:

Image

Export a region of a PDF page to an Image object.

If the exportRect is smaller than the PDF page, then the pixel width and pixel height of the resulting image will be calculated from the exportRect and a resolution of 300.0, containing the area of the page inside the exportRect, scaled to fit. If a specific pixel size or resolution is desired, use the version of GetImage that takes a PageImageParams as a parameter.

getImage

ImagegetImage(RectexportRect, PageImageParamsImageParams)

Parameters

exportRect: Rect

A Rect describing the region of the page to export, specified in user space coordinates. One user unit corresponds to 1/72 inch. To export the entire page, set this parameter to the page's CropBox. User space coordinates correspond to the unrotated page; the rotation specified in Page.Rotation is not taken into account with these coordinates.

ImageParams: PageImageParams

A PageImageParams containing additional parameters for the exported image, including the exported image's pixel width, pixel height, and resolution. If these parameters are not specified, the pixel width and pixel height of the image are calculated using the exportRect and a resolution of 300.0.

Returns:

Image

Export a region of a PDF page to an Image object.

This version of GetImage can be used to specify a particular size in pixels for the exported image by setting ImageParams.PixelWidth and/or ImageParams.PixelHeight.

If the exportRect is smaller than the PDF page and ImageParams.PixelWidth and ImageParams.PixelHeight are set, then the resulting image will be of the size ImageParams.PixelWidth x ImageParams.PixelHeight and contain the area of the page inside the exportRect, scaled to fit.

It is also possible to use this function by specifying only ImageParams.PixelWidth or only ImageParams.PixelHeight. When only one is specified, the function will calculate the other.

getImage

ImagegetImage(RectexportRect, PageImageParamsImageParams, java.util.List< SeparationColorSpace >spaces)

Parameters

exportRect: Rect

A Rect describing the region of the page to export, specified in user space coordinates. One user unit corresponds to 1/72 inch. To export the entire page, set this parameter to the page's CropBox. User space coordinates correspond to the unrotated page; the rotation specified in Page.Rotation is not taken into account with these coordinates.

ImageParams: PageImageParams

A PageImageParams containing additional parameters for the exported image, including the exported image's pixel width, pixel height, and resolution. If these parameters are not specified, the pixel width and pixel height of the image are calculated using the exportRect and a resolution of 300.0.

spaces: java.util.List< SeparationColorSpace >

A collection of SeparationColorSpace objects. This parameter is used to specify page's inks to be drawn. Each SeparationColorSpace must be constructed from an ink and a page. Their tint transforms and alternates will be ignored.

Returns:

Image

Export a region of a PDF page to an Image object.

This version of GetImage can be used to specify a particular size in pixels for the exported image by setting ImageParams.PixelWidth and/or ImageParams.PixelHeight.

It renders specified page's inks and ignores colorSpace parameter from ImageParams. This function always renders the page in DeviceN colorspace.

If the exportRect is smaller than the PDF page and ImageParams.PixelWidth and ImageParams.PixelHeight are set, then the resulting image will be of the size ImageParams.PixelWidth x ImageParams.PixelHeight and contain the area of the page inside the exportRect, scaled to fit.

It is also possible to use this function by specifying only ImageParams.PixelWidth or only ImageParams.PixelHeight. When only one is specified, the function will calculate the other.

Parameters

exportRect: Rect

A Rect describing the region of the page to export, specified in user space coordinates. One user unit corresponds to 1/72 inch. To export the entire page, set this parameter to the page's CropBox. User space coordinates correspond to the unrotated page; the rotation specified in Page.Rotation is not taken into account with these coordinates.

ImageParams: PageImageParams

A PageImageParams containing additional parameters for the exported image, including the exported image's pixel width, pixel height, and resolution. If these parameters are not specified, the pixel width and pixel height of the image are calculated using the exportRect and a resolution of 300.0.

This version of GetImage can be used to specify a particular size in pixels for the exported image by setting ImageParams.PixelWidth and/or ImageParams.PixelHeight.

If the exportRect is smaller than the PDF page and ImageParams.PixelWidth and ImageParams.PixelHeight are set, then the resulting image will be of the size ImageParams.PixelWidth x ImageParams.PixelHeight and contain the area of the page inside the exportRect, scaled to fit.

It is also possible to use this function by specifying only ImageParams.PixelWidth or only ImageParams.PixelHeight. When only one is specified, the function will calculate the other.

Note: To determine whether a page uses transparency, the resources of the page must be enumerated (though the page contents do not need to be parsed). The page resources may not be optimized for slow (browser-based) connections, so calling Page.HasTransparency() before the page has been downloaded may cause unpleasant read behavior and performance problems.
