I just tried the same test with 4 microsoft icon files, just to make sure it isn't my icons that are causing the issue. The same problem occurs with the microsoft icons. This is pretty conclusive that the problem is somewhere in the GdPicture.NET PDF non-OCR methods when using ICO input files. Let m...

Here is a screenshot of what the PDF output looks like. I am using the code I sent you earlier for the PDF on the right. I'm using almost the same code with the PDF OCR methods for the PDF on the left. I added the two .ICO files that I attached, then a 2 page TIF, then a JPG to the PDF output. Notic...

The only major difference I see is that you hardcoded the values 1 and 2 in the PdfDrawImage() methods where I used the returned IDs from the PdfAddImageFromGdPictureImage() methods. I don't think you can count on those values always being 1 and 2. The documentation says that you should use "va...

Great, thanks!

Thanks for the information.

Using GdPicture.NET 6.5.0 Ultimate, it seems that setting loop count to 0
using GifSetLoopCount() doesn't cause an infinite animated loop.
It appears to only loop once and stop (using IE8 to view the GIF).

Setting loop count to any other number seems to work ok.

Thanks, let me know if you need anything else.

I had typed up two huge code blocks with lots of detail but I was logged out and lost all of it. :( Here is a summary: I use a large 24bpp two-page TIF for input. It doesn't matter if you use OCR or not. The output pdf opens and looks fine (black and white) but has original 24bpp TIF uncompressed si...

As I said before, adding any other image type to a PDF using the exact same code below works fine. Also using the PDF OCR methods to add these same icons will work fine. (Adding these icons to a multipage TIF works now in 6.5.0.) This leads me to believe it is a problem with the methods, not the fil...

It's the least I can do. I am making a killer app using your product. It will be infinitely useful to us and our clients.

I actually tried all of the different PDFOCR compression types after converting a source image to 1bpp.
The filesize was always the same as the original 24bpp TIF with no compression.
Using the exact same files and code with color compression works perfect.

I'm using the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, which is what most people who view TIFs will use since it comes with Windows. Is JPEG compression in TIFFs some thing that is not standard?

GdPicture.NET version 6.5.0 was released 11/30/2009. Also if you discovered the issue of reused ImageIDs that I pointed out and are still having trouble, look at the CreateClonedGdPictureImageI() method. I sometimes use that method to ensure a new ImageID from the original input file and save all of...

Good news for color compression with GdPicture 6.5.0! If I use the color compression options when creating PDF OCR, it now works the same as when using non-OCR methods. However, if I convert to 1bpp the filesize is always the same as using no compression for PDF or PDF OCR, regardless of the compres...

Good and bad news with GdPicture version 6.5.0...

Converting ICO to multipage TIF now works correctly!

Converting ICO to PDF or PDFA without OCR still does not work.
