MRC image manipulation

Post by rlagrange » Fri Sep 14, 2018 7:22 pm

Hello,

We are scanning a document, and we add the image in a pdf with a MRC compressio using GdPicturePdf :

Code: Select all

pdf.AddImageFromGdPictureImage(imageID, PdfAdvancedImageCompression.PdfAdvancedImageCompressionMRC);
Now later in my GdViewer interface, I want to convert the actual page to Grayscale.
Before MRC, I was looping the images of the pages, and convert each using GdPictureImaging.FxGrayScale :

Code: Select all

GdPictureImaging oGdPictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging();
            // Convertir chaque image de la page en Degradé de gris
            for (int image = 1; image <= _nativePdf.GetPageImageCount(); image++)
            {
                int imageID = _nativePdf.ExtractPageImage(image);
                // Conversion de l'image en dégradé
                oGdPictureImaging.FxGrayscale(imageID);
                // degrade B&W to bitonal
                //oGdPictureImaging.ColorDetection(imageID, true, true, true);
                // Remplacer l'image dans le PDF
                _nativePdf.ReplaceImage(_nativePdf.GetPageImageResName(image), imageID, false);
                oGdPictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
            }
            oGdPictureImaging.Dispose();
Result : the colored parts of the picture are removed.
I am unable to find a way, even when using the imageMask parameter of the replaceImage function.

Can you please review my code, and give me a tip ?
I've attached my sample.

Thanks

Hi,

Your approach is not correct. What I suggest is to rasterize the image in a new bitmap, then convert the rasterized bitmap to grayscale.

Please let me know if you need further information.

WIth best regards,

Hi Loïc,

While it could be okay for this specific sample, it will be counter productive for all others cases : mixed content text/image, etc, the result will be way bigger.
As my interface take scanned document, but also mixed files (word, pdf...), I need to have something which work in every case.

As your interface didn't allow us to manage MRC pictures as a single object, or alternatively to fully manage each MRC layers, we can't use MRC for now.

Ideally, the GdViewer could have a public method to manage all this complexity, and convert the selected pages to bitonal or grayscale while keeping the quality & compression choice.

Hello,

Here we can offer you a new method ReplaceImageMRC() introduced in the 14.1.1 version of the toolkit:

It can be useful for image-based pages.
