File Formats: LEADTOOLS PDF with Mixed Raster Content (PDF)

LEADTOOLS provides support for PDF compression with MRC segmentation. MRC segmentation can be used to break a page/image into smaller segments, saving each segment using the compression appropriate for that segment. Thus, one page of a PDF file may have an image JPEG-compressed, some text JBIG2-compressed, and another area CCITT-compressed. This whole process works to provide a PDF file with better compression and better quality than just a standard raster PDF file.

The default extension used by this format is: PDF.

LEADTOOLS supports Load and save for this format.

The LEADTOOLS license must unlock the following RasterSupportTypes: Document and PdfAdvanced.

Multipage is supported if the PDF file is created by using the PdfCompressor. For more information, refer to PdfCompressor.Insert(RasterImage,PdfCompressorOptions) and tutorials. As an example, you can create a multipage file as shown in the following code:

PdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new PdfCompressor();  
pdfCompressor.SetCompression //set the compressions you need              
pdfCompressor.Insert //insert 1st page 
pdfCompressor.Insert //insert 2nd page        
…       
pdfCompressor.Insert // and so on 
…  
pdfCompressor.Write // write the pdf documentpdfCompressor.InsertPdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new PdfCompressor();  
PdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new PdfCompressor(); 

Use the Insert command for each page being added.
