Inserting images

[Chris Lowe]

I'm trying to insert an image into a PDF file but I am struggling.

The sample suggests I can just supply the path to the image file to PdfBitmap however, PdfBitmap expects a Stream.

I have tried supplying a File Stream and a Memory stream but I end up with the same result, no image is displayed on the PDF (although a box is drawn for it), and if the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader there is a pop up box that says:

An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.

I have also tried to use PdfImage.FromStream(stream) however this has the same result. Upon debugging, the stream appears to be populated with the file information, however, PdfImage doesnot appear to be populated.

Code below.

public async Task CreateQuotationPDF(Quotation Quotation)

{

   // create document

   PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

   PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();

   // set font

   PdfFont font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12);

   // create Header

   float pageWidth = doc.Pages[0].GetClientSize().Width;

   doc.Template.Top = CreateHeader("Quotation", pageWidth);

   PdfGraphics imageGraphics = page.Graphics;

   string webrootPath = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath.ToString();

   string imagePath = "images\\documents\\logo.jpg";

   string fullPath = Path.Combine(webrootPath, imagePath);

   // get logo

   using (var fileStream = new FileStream(fullPath, FileMode.Open))

   {

      PdfImage image = PdfImage.FromStream(fileStream);

      headerImageGraphics.DrawImage(image, new PointF(10, 0), new SizeF(100, 40));

   }

   

   // create footer

   PdfPageTemplateElement footer = await CreateFooter("", pageWidth);

   return doc;

}

We do have support only for loading image as Stream in  Asp.net Core platform at present and we have tried to reproduce the issue which you have mentioned using the code snippet which you have provided in the last update, but we are unable to reproduce the issue. Can you please provide us the image file in which the issue is reproduced so that we can help you better. 

Please find the sample which we tried to reproduce the issue from below link:

What exactly was the issue? I have the exact same problem.  However, I have images that show the blank block. I also have jpeg images that throw System.IndexOutOfRangeException.  Is there someplace that lists the supported encodings?

Hi Kevin, 

 

At present we have support for drawing only JPEG image with JPEG encoding in Asp.Net Core platform and the issue which you have mentioned may be image specific issue. So, can you please provide us the image in which the issue is reproduced so that we can help you better in this. 

 

Please let us know if you need any further information.

i got my images to print this morning after opening them and exporing them again in jpeg format.  i'm dumbfounded as to why one works and the others fail. the 1493200727-69050095.jpg image displays a blank image. the 1499896354-8132571.jpg image usually throws an outofrangeexception.  the jpeg versions of those file, surprisingly, work just fine.

I just figured this out this morning and have started to compare the files.
