You will need to add code to the TIFF reading component of iText to identify, read, and parse the clipping path information into something that can be used in other parts of iText. Then you’ll need to use that information to actually “draw” the clipping path in the PDF as part of the creation (either explicitly or added an option to the image handling).
NOTE – clipping paths in TIFF are compatible with other formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.) so you might want to support all images… Leonard From: Dean Krueger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 2:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [iText-questions] Tiff Clipping paths Hi, I am using iText to build a flat of tiff images. Some of these tiff images have clipping paths, how can I activate the clipping path when I place it on the pdf? I have checked the book and itext mail groups, and have come up with only reference to creating shapes. The clipping path I need is in the tiff file its self, if I place this image in inDesign the clipping path shows up correctly, but when I place it on the PDF its just the square image. Thanks Dean Krueger
