Hi.
I want to use PDFBox to draw PDFs in a swing application.
I already created a new issue for a problem I had on Linux (PDFBOX-4581). But
unrelated to that I had another problem (on windows and linux), and I wanted
to ask first if I'm doing something wrong before I create a new issue.
I want to draw only a portion of the PDF. As far as I know, the way to do this
in swing is with the "clip"-method on the Graphics object. However, no matter
what clip I set, the wohle PDF is drawn. I believe that PDFRenderer calls
"setClip", when it probably should use "clip". The latter sets the current clip
to the intersection of the old current clip and the provided shape, wheras the
former resets the current clip.
My code is essentially the following:
@Override
public void paint(final Graphics g) {
final Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
try {
PDDocument pdDocument =
PDDocument.load(App.class.getResourceAsStream("somepdf.pdf"));
g2.clip(new Rectangle(20, 20));
final PDFRenderer pdfRenderer = new
org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PDFRenderer(pdDocument);
pdfRenderer.renderPageToGraphics(0, g2);
} catch (final IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
