Hi Tilman,
> Did you understand them?
sort of...
(please be patient, I think I'm making some confusion :-)
following your suggestion, I was able to create and add another Inline
Image with the desired resolution into my pdf (I check with "pdfimages
-list" from poppler-utils):
PDImageXObject helper_img = LosslessFactory.createFromImage(document,
scaledImage);
InputStream img_data_stream = helper_img.createInputStream();
byte [] img_data = IOUtils.toByteArray(img_data_stream);
PDInlineImage replacement_img = new PDInlineImage(operator.getImageParameters(),
img_data,
resources);
I'm not sure about the "filters" you mentioned...
I used the same parameters as the original (operator.getImageParameters()).
Then I appended my new image to the page stream but this way I get two
inline images... (if I use Appended.OVERWRITE I end up removing all
other operators from the stream)
PDPageContentStream pageContentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document,
currentPage,
AppendMode.APPEND,
false,
true);
pageContentStream.drawImage(replacement_img, 0, 0);
pageContentStream.close();
I tried other approaches:
. (right after creating my replacement_img)
take the content stream of the current page,
parse it, get a list of tokens
run through the list of tokens
and build a new list
omitting "BI" operator & co.
create a new stream from the tokens
and set it to the page
(BUT: I have an error about some not-closed stream when saving)
. adapt example RemoveAllText.java
similar to the above: run through the tokens and modify those
related to images
(BUT: I'm not sure how to get to the image XObject from the token)
. extend GraphicsOperatorProcessor
(copying from operator.graphics.BeginInlineImage)
i.e. create a StreamEngine to process my adapted "BeginInlineImage" operator
(BUT: I get a ClassCastException on the StreamEngine I use)
I think some of the problems are because I've used java ~15 years ago
and forgot about it until now :-)
Since I think I don't really get the hang of the library,
I have a different (exploratory) proposition.
Let's say that I generally want to
"change resolution of raster images"
would you (or anyone else) be interested in writing the appropriate
code under compensation?
I think that the code could be added to the examples in the source.
At the moment I do not have any budget, but if we can come up with a
sum I could try and ask my boss...
I like this kind of approach because I would be able to:
. get what I want in the short term,
. learn the best way to do it (so that next time I can do it myself),
. contribute materially to pdfbox
. and add valuable piece of "documentation" (the example) to the library.
. (bonus) have someone else maintain that code
(I just hope my boss will feel the same :-)
If you (or anyone else) feel this proposal is inappropriate, please
let me know it and just forget about this.
