DynaPDFMBS.RenderPageToPicture(PageNum as integer, pic as picture, DefScale as integer = 2, matrix as DynaPDFMatrixMBS = nil, RenderWithAlpha as boolean = false) as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method DynaPDF MBS DynaPDF Plugin 11.1 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Renders the page into the given picture.
Example
dim pdf as new MyDynaPDFMBS

// For this example you can use a Pro or Enterprise License
pdf.SetLicenseKey "Pro"

// create in memory
call pdf.CreateNewPDF nil

// set import flags
call pdf.SetImportFlags pdf.kifImportAsPage

// open the PDF file
dim f as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.pdf")
call pdf.OpenImportFile(f, 0, "")

// import all the pages
call pdf.ImportPDFFile(1, 1.0, 1.0)

// create picture
dim out as new Picture(800, 600, 32)

// render first page in the existing picture
call pdf.RenderPageToPicture(1, out)

// display in window
Backdrop = out

Please note that for most cases RenderPageToImage and RenderPDFFile are better choices for rendering. Especially if you plan to compress images later anyway. And you avoid trouble with color matching. For this function to work correct you have to initialize DynaPDF with right color space for screen (Generic RGB on Mac and screen profile for Windows).

This method draws into an existing picture. The PDF page is scaled to fit size. You can use the constants kpsFitBest, kpsFitHeight or kpsFitWidth for the DefScale parameter. The matrix allows you to move, rotate or scale the PDF inside the picture.

Returns nil on any error.

This does not work on Linux desktop targets as the plugin can't write into a picture there.

If you render a lot of pages from the same PDF, consider using DynaPDFRasterizerMBS class as it's faster when you reuse the rasterizer.
Requires DynaPDF Pro license.

Added RenderWithAlpha parameter in plugin version 19.0.
If RenderWithAlpha is true, we render with alpha channel. If the destination is a picture has alpha channel, you should get the alpha there. Otherwise for picture without alpha channel, we only copy RGB channels.

DynaPDFMBS.RenderPDFFile(OutFile as folderitem, Resolution as UInt32, Flags as UInt32, PixFmt as UInt32, Filter as UInt32, Format as UInt32) as boolean   Deprecated

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method DynaPDF MBS DynaPDF Plugin 11.2 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
This item is deprecated and should no longer be used. You can use RenderPDFFileEx instead.
The function renders all PDF pages which are currently in memory and stores the result in a proprietary image format.
Example
dim file as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.pdf")
dim pdf as new MyDynaPDFMBS

call pdf.CreateNewPDF nil
call pdf.OpenImportFile(file, 0, "")
call pdf.ImportPDFFile(1, 1.0, 1.0)

// create a TIFF file:

dim outfile as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.tif")

dim Flags as Integer = DynaPDFRasterImageMBS.krfDefault
dim PixFmt as Integer = DynaPDFRasterizerMBS.kpxfRGB
dim Format as Integer = DynaPDFMBS.kifmTIFF // use kifm* constants
dim Filter as Integer = DynaPDFMBS.kcfLZW // pick a compression scheme for the file format

call pdf.RenderPDFFile(outfile, 300, Flags, PixFmt, Filter, Format)

// create a folder of JPEG file:

dim outfolder as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test files")
outfolder.CreateAsFolder

Flags = DynaPDFRasterImageMBS.krfDefault
PixFmt = DynaPDFRasterizerMBS.kpxfRGB
Format = DynaPDFMBS.kifmJPEG // use kifm* constants
Filter = DynaPDFMBS.kcfJPEG

call pdf.RenderPDFFile(outfolder, 300, Flags, PixFmt, Filter, Format)

One page PDF can go to e.g. a JPEG file.
Multi page PDF file can go to a TIFF file with several images.
Or you specify a folder and get a folder of JPEG/PNG/TIFF files.

DynaPDFMBS.RenderPDFFileEx(OutFile as folderitem, Resolution as UInt32, Width as Integer, Height as Integer, Flags as UInt32, PixFmt as UInt32, Filter as UInt32, Format as UInt32) as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method DynaPDF MBS DynaPDF Plugin 18.0 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Renders all PDF pages which are currently in memory and stores the result in a proprietary image format.

The pages in memory could be imported from one or more external PDF files, e.g. with ImportPDFFile(), created with DynaPDF functions, or a combination of both.

The parameter OutFile can be a path to an existing directory or the file name of the output image. The latter type can be used with TIFF images because this format supports multi-page output. When a file path is used with a single page image format only the first page will be rendered.

The function checks whether the path is a directory or a file name.
The function can render pages in a specific resolution, or scale them to a given width or height.

Depending on which parameters are set the image size is calculated as follows:

  • Resolution > 0 and Width == 0 and Height == 0: Pages are rendered according to the given resolution. Note that PDF pages can be very large. Therefore, it is maybe not possible to render all pages in the whished resolution.
  • Resolution > 0 and Width < 0 and or Height < 0: Pages are rendered according to the given resolution. Negative values of Width and Height are interpreted as maximum width or height if Resolution is greater zero. Since PDF pages can be very large, it is recommended to set the maximum width and height to a value that is low enough so that no out of memory exception occurs, e.g. 5000 x 5000 pixels.
  • Resolution == 0 and Width > 0 or Height > 0: Pages are scaled to the given Width or Height. If Width and Height are greater zero then pages are scaled to that size independent of the original page format (not recommended). It is usually best to set the width or height to zero so that the function can calculate the missing value to preserve the aspect ratio.

On a 32 bit system it is possible to render PDF pages in RGB with up to around 1200 DPI, depending on the page format and available memory. The resolution of gray images can be higher but the encoder must be able to handle such large images. The PNG and bitmap encoders accept images in almost arbitrary resolutions but all other encoders can fail when the resolution is larger than about 2000 DPI.

The function calls the progress events.
Returns true on success or false on failure.

DynaPDFMBS.ReplaceImage(ImageToReplace as DynaPDFImageMBS, ImageFile as FolderItem, Index as Integer = 1, ColorSpace as Integer = 0, CSHandle as Integer = -1, Flags as Integer = 0) as Boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method DynaPDF MBS DynaPDF Plugin 17.5 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Replaces an image with another image.

The parameter ImageToReplace must be a valid pointer of an image object which is retrieved by functions like GetImageObj() or ParseContent().
The resolution, aspect ratio, color space and so on can be freely chosen. However, note that this function does not change the output position or size. If the aspect ratio of the new image is different, then it will be stretched or shrinked to fit into the output rectangle.
The parameter ColorSpace specifies the destination color space into which the image should be converted or saved, if the image is already defined in that color space. CSHandle must be the handle of that color space if a non-device space is used. The will be ignored for devices spaces.

The function works in the very same way as InsertImageEx() with the following differences:
• The color of an image mask cannot be set or changed because this would require changes on the content stream in which the image is used. An image mask will be created if the image color depth is 1 bit and if color key masking is enabled (see SetUseTransparency()). SetUseTransparency() should normally be set to false before calling this function.
• The image will never be downscaled, independent of the current resolution, because the size of the output rectangle is not known.

If the image that should be replaced is a soft mask of another base image, then make sure that the destination color space is set to kesDeviceGray, kesCalGray, or to a one channel ICC based color space because a soft mask must not contain more than one color channel.
The flags kgfUseImageColorSpace, kgfIgnoreICCProfiles, kgfRealPassThrough, and kfNoBitmapAlpha are all supported. See SetGStateFlags() for further information.

If the function succeeds the return value is true. If the function fails the return value is false.

See also ReplaceImage function in DynaPDF manual.
