Interface PDFImage

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractImageAdapter, AlphaRasterImage, BitmapImage, ImageRawCCITTFaxAdapter, ImageRawJPEGAdapter, ImageRawPNGAdapter, ImageRenderedAdapter

public interface PDFImage

Interface for a PDF image. This is used for inserting an image into PDF.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getBitsPerComponent() Get the bits per color component for this image.
PDFDeviceColorSpace	getColorSpace() Get the color space for this image.
String	getFilterHint() Returns a hint in form of a String (Possible values from PDFFilterList) indicating which filter setup should be used to encode the object.
int	getHeight() Get the image height in pixels.
PDFICCStream	getICCStream() Get the ICC stream for this image.
String	getKey() Key to look up XObject.
String	getMask() Get the PDF reference for a bitmap mask.
PDFFilter	getPDFFilter() Get the PDF Filter to be applied to the image.
PDFReference	getSoftMaskReference() Get the PDF reference for a soft mask.
PDFColor	getTransparentColor() Get the transparent color.
int	getWidth() Get the image width in pixels.
boolean	isInverted()
boolean	isPS() Check if this image is a PostScript image.
boolean	isTransparent() Check if this image has a transparent color transparency.
boolean	multipleFiltersAllowed() Indicates whether multiple image filters are allowed; this is implemented because Adobe Reader does not like multiple FlateDecode filters applied to an image even though that allowed by the PDF spec; this is probable due to security concerns since many PDF malware exploits, like zip bombs, make use of a chain of FlateDecode filters.
void	outputContents(OutputStream out) Writes the raw, unencoded contents of the image to a given output stream.
void	populateXObjectDictionary(PDFDictionary dict) Populates the XObject's dictionary with additional values.
void	setup(PDFDocument doc) Setup the PDF image for the current document.

Method Detail

getKey

String getKey()

Key to look up XObject. This should be a unique key to refer to the image.

Returns:

the key for this image

setup

void setup(PDFDocument doc)

Setup the PDF image for the current document. Some image formats may need to access the document (for example to add an ICC profile to the document).

Parameters:

doc - the PDF parent document (todo) Remove this and delegate to the XObject

getWidth

int getWidth()

Get the image width in pixels.

Returns:

the image width

getHeight

int getHeight()

Get the image height in pixels.

Returns:

the image height

getColorSpace

PDFDeviceColorSpace getColorSpace()

Get the color space for this image. Possible results are: DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, or DeviceCMYK

Returns:

the color space

getBitsPerComponent

int getBitsPerComponent()

Get the bits per color component for this image.

Returns:

the bits per component

isPS

boolean isPS()

Check if this image is a PostScript image.

Returns:

true if this is a PostScript image

isTransparent

boolean isTransparent()

Check if this image has a transparent color transparency. Classes such as PDFImageXObject rely on this simple binary model of transparency (e.g. compare to Transparency) in order to render color key masking (see PDF Spec 1.7 Chapter 8.9.6.4). Therefore only return true if image has fully transparent colors.

Returns:

true if it has at least one fully transparent color

getTransparentColor

PDFColor getTransparentColor()

Get the transparent color.

Returns:

the transparent color for this image

getMask

String getMask()

Get the PDF reference for a bitmap mask.

Returns:

the PDF reference for the mask image

getSoftMaskReference

PDFReference getSoftMaskReference()

Get the PDF reference for a soft mask.

Returns:

the PDF reference for a soft mask image (or null if there's no soft mask)

isInverted

boolean isInverted()

Returns:

true for CMYK images generated by Adobe Photoshop

getPDFFilter

PDFFilter getPDFFilter()

Get the PDF Filter to be applied to the image.

Returns:

the PDF Filter or null

outputContents

void outputContents(OutputStream out)
                    throws IOException

Writes the raw, unencoded contents of the image to a given output stream.

Parameters:

out - OutputStream to write to

Throws:

IOException - if there creating stream

populateXObjectDictionary

void populateXObjectDictionary(PDFDictionary dict)

Populates the XObject's dictionary with additional values. The values are added to the dictionary after all the values obtained from other methods from this interface have been put into the dictionary. That allows to override certain values.

Parameters:

dict - the dictionary to fill

getICCStream

PDFICCStream getICCStream()

Get the ICC stream for this image.

Returns:

the ICC stream for this image if any

getFilterHint

String getFilterHint()

Returns a hint in form of a String (Possible values from PDFFilterList) indicating which filter setup should be used to encode the object.

Returns:

the filter setup hint

multipleFiltersAllowed

boolean multipleFiltersAllowed()

Indicates whether multiple image filters are allowed; this is implemented because Adobe Reader does not like multiple FlateDecode filters applied to an image even though that allowed by the PDF spec; this is probable due to security concerns since many PDF malware exploits, like zip bombs, make use of a chain of FlateDecode filters.
