Re: insert png image into pdf

Based on this and other similar threads you've started about adding images

to PDF files, you should know by now that you cannot do this with just

changing one line in your code that reads JPEG images. It does not work

this way, as was explained to you again and again.

 

You need to stop trying to come up with a change to your code and start

reading the documentation. You need to read (and understand!) the PDF

specification - not once, but multiple times until you can look at the

structure of a PDF file and know why things are where they are. You cannot

write software that modifies PDF files without a solid understanding of how

PDF works. And once you've done that, start reading the documentation for

the plug-in interface. Again, reading this stuff once is not sufficient,

it's an ongoing effort.

 

Yes, this is hard, and it takes a long time to get familiar with just the

basis concepts of working with PDF documents. This is why it's in most

cases cheaper and faster to not even attempt to write your own plug-in, but

to hire somebody with who did invest that time to learn how to do this.

 

So, again: With the exception of JPEG files, you have to extract the bitmap

data from our images outside of the  Acrobat SDK. You need to either

be familiar with how these files are composed, or you need to use 3rd party

software to extract that information. Once you've done that, you can then

pass the image size, bit depth, color space and bitmap information to the

Acrobat SDK functions to create your image in the PDF data structure. What

you need to provide does not make any sense until you have a good

understanding of the PDF structure and the API.
