That way has some drawbacks: * You iterate over all image XObjects present in the PDF without knowing their use. Thus, in general you do not know whether the data you read are relevant for your current page or not: The image might be located only on some other page or even not be used at all. * You miss inline images. * You examine way more objects than necessary. If on the other hand you can be sure that your PDFs are quite small, they contain only one image each, and that respective image is encoded as an XObject, that code may work for you. Regards, Michael PS: The code is somewhat inelegant. E.g.: pdfStream and tg are the same object (PdfStream is derived from PdfDictionary and pdfStream is already a direct object), and for getting values from a PdfDictionary, resolving them if indirect, and casting them to some distinguished PDF object class, PdfDictionary offers convenience methods getAsXXX (getAsName, getAsNumber, ...). -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/How-to-skip-text-rendering-when-parsing-image-on-text-pdf-file-tp4655822p4657301.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
