Hi,
I'm copying pages from one document into another. My script can take a A3
pdf and scale it down to a A4 by using the following:
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader reader = new
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(inPDF);
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter writer =
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, new FileStream(outPDF,
FileMode.Create));
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage oriPage = writer.GetImportedPage(reader,
i);
image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(oriPage);
image.ScaleToFit(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4.Width,
iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4.Height);
image.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
image.Border = iTextSharp.text.Rectangle.BOX;
image.BorderColor = iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.GREEN;
image.BorderWidth = 1f;
directcontent.AddImage(image);
pdfDoc.NewPage();
}
This is works great on most of my pdfs. However there are some pdf's where I
want to only use the content within the cropbox. When I use the above script
it done not use the crop box for the size, therefore any trim marking and
anything else outside the cropbox are shown. I've been trying for hours now
to try and get it to use the dimensions of the cropbox.
After a lot of digging around I thought I had found a solution:
In the itextsharp source file
"itextsharp-5.0.0\iTextSharp\text\pdf\PdfImportedPage.cs" and in the class "
PdfImportedPage"
I changed:
"bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetPageSize(pageNumber)"
To
"bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetCropBox(pageNumber);"
Thinking this would work, but it does not see too. I think I'm starting to
go round in circles now. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks
Ric
