  • Method Details

    • getImage

      BufferedImage getImage() throws IOException
      Returns the content of this image as an AWT buffered image with an (A)RGB color space. The size of the returned image is the larger of the size of the image itself or its mask.
      Returns:
      content of this image as a buffered image.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getRawRaster

      WritableRaster getRawRaster() throws IOException
      Return the image data as WritableRaster. You should consult the PDColorSpace returned by getColorSpace() to know how to interpret the data in this WritableRaster. Use this if e.g. want access to the raw color information of a PDDeviceN image.
      Returns:
      the raw writable raster for this image
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getRawImage

      BufferedImage getRawImage() throws IOException
      Try to get the raw image as AWT buffered image with it's original colorspace. No color conversion is performed. You could use the returned BufferedImage for draw operations. But this would be very slow as the color conversion would happen on demand. You rather should use getImage() for that. This method returns null if it is not possible to map the underlying colorspace into a java.awt.ColorSpace. Use this method if you want to extract the image without loosing any color information, as no color conversion will be performed. You can alwoys use getRawRaster(), if you want to access the raw data even if no matching java.awt.ColorSpace exists
      Returns:
      the raw image with a java.awt.ColorSpace or null
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getImage

      BufferedImage getImage(Rectangle region, int subsampling) throws IOException
      Returns the content of this image as an AWT buffered image with an (A)RGB colored space. Only the subregion specified is rendered, and is subsampled by advancing the specified amount of rows and columns in the source image for every resulting pixel. Note that unlike the unparameterized version, this method does not cache the resulting image.
      Parameters:
      region - The region of the source image to get, or null if the entire image is needed. The actual region will be clipped to the dimensions of the source image.
      subsampling - The amount of rows and columns to advance for every output pixel, a value of 1 meaning every pixel will be read
      Returns:
      subsampled content of the requested subregion as a buffered image.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getStencilImage

      BufferedImage getStencilImage(Paint paint) throws IOException
      Returns an ARGB image filled with the given paint and using this image as a mask.
      Parameters:
      paint - the paint to fill the visible portions of the image with
      Returns:
      a masked image filled with the given paint
      Throws:
      IOException - if the image cannot be read
      IllegalStateException - if the image is not a stencil.
    • createInputStream

      InputStream createInputStream() throws IOException
      Returns an InputStream containing the image data, irrespective of whether this is an inline image or an image XObject.
      Returns:
      Decoded stream
      Throws:
      IOException - if the data could not be read.
    • createInputStream

      InputStream createInputStream(List<String> stopFilters) throws IOException
      Returns an InputStream containing the image data, irrespective of whether this is an inline image or an image XObject. The given filters will not be decoded.
      Parameters:
      stopFilters - A list of filters to stop decoding at.
      Returns:
      Decoded stream
      Throws:
      IOException - if the data could not be read.
    • createInputStream

      InputStream createInputStream(DecodeOptions options) throws IOException
      Returns an InputStream, passing additional options to each filter. As a side effect, the filterSubsampled flag is set in DecodeOptions.
      Parameters:
      options - Additional decoding options passed to the filters used
      Returns:
      Decoded stream
      Throws:
      IOException - if the data could not be read
    • isEmpty

      boolean isEmpty()
      Returns true if the image has no data.
    • isStencil

      boolean isStencil()
      Returns true if the image is a stencil mask.
    • setStencil

      void setStencil(boolean isStencil)
      Sets whether or not the image is a stencil. This corresponds to the ImageMask entry in the image stream's dictionary.
      Parameters:
      isStencil - True to make the image a stencil.
    • getBitsPerComponent

      int getBitsPerComponent()
      Returns bits per component of this image, or -1 if one has not been set.
    • setBitsPerComponent

      void setBitsPerComponent(int bitsPerComponent)
      Set the number of bits per component.
      Parameters:
      bitsPerComponent - The number of bits per component.
    • getColorSpace

      PDColorSpace getColorSpace() throws IOException
      Returns the image's color space.
      Throws:
      IOException - If there is an error getting the color space.
    • setColorSpace

      void setColorSpace(PDColorSpace colorSpace)
      Sets the color space for this image.
      Parameters:
      colorSpace - The color space for this image.
    • getHeight

      int getHeight()
      Returns height of this image, or -1 if one has not been set.
    • setHeight

      void setHeight(int height)
      Sets the height of the image.
      Parameters:
      height - The height of the image.
    • getWidth

      int getWidth()
      Returns the width of this image, or -1 if one has not been set.
    • setWidth

      void setWidth(int width)
      Sets the width of the image.
      Parameters:
      width - The width of the image.
    • setDecode

      void setDecode(COSArray decode)
      Sets the decode array.
      Parameters:

    • getDecode

      COSArray getDecode()
      Returns the decode array.
    • getInterpolate

      boolean getInterpolate()
      Returns true if the image should be interpolated when rendered.
    • setInterpolate

      void setInterpolate(boolean value)
      Sets the Interpolate flag, true for high-quality image scaling.
    • getSuffix

      String getSuffix()
      Returns the suffix for this image type, e.g. "jpg"
