Hello, I am trying to place a photo on a one page PDF. I want the image to be placed inside an absolute position box (top,left,bottom,right) and be centered. How do I get this done? I am thinking of placing the images inside a floating box as described below.
public void InsertPhoto( Document doc, string photoPath )
{
Page page = doc.Pages[1];
FloatingBox photoBox = new Aspose.Pdf.FloatingBox();
photoBox.ZIndex = 10;
photoBox.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 0, 0, 0);
photoBox.Top = 72;
photoBox.Left = 72;
photoBox.Height = 150;
photoBox.Width = 150;
photoBox.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Black;
photoBox.VertialAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
photoBox.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
page.Paragraphs.Add( photoBox );
}

Please use below code snippet to add an image in a floating box and align it as per your requirements.
public static void InsertPhoto(Document doc, string photoPath)
{
Page page = doc.Pages[1];
FloatingBox photoBox = new Aspose.Pdf.FloatingBox();
photoBox.ZIndex = 10;
photoBox.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 0, 0, 0);
photoBox.Top = 72;
photoBox.Left = 72;
photoBox.Height = 150;
photoBox.Width = 150;
photoBox.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Black;
Aspose.Pdf.Image img = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
img.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
img.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
img.File = photoPath;
img.FixWidth = 100;
img.FixHeight = 100;
photoBox.Paragraphs.Add(img);
page.Paragraphs.Add(photoBox);
}
We hope this will be helpful. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.
Hello Farhan,
Thanks for you patience. I have been working on the problem a few days and I have my solution below. I am posting the solution to share. It works as is but I am open for any programming refactoring to make the code more succinct and efficient.
public void InsertPhoto( Document doc )
{
Page page = doc.Pages[1];
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- Absolute Positioned Bounding Box
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FloatingBox photoBox = new Aspose.Pdf.FloatingBox();
photoBox.ZIndex = 10;
photoBox.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 0, 0, 0);
photoBox.Top = photoConfig.top;
photoBox.Left = photoConfig.left;
photoBox.Height = photoConfig.height;
photoBox.Width = photoConfig.width;
photoBox.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Black;
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- Fast Method to get Image Dimension without leaking and locking
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
double fotoHeight = 0;
double fotoWidth = 0;
using (System.Drawing.Image sourceImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile( photoPath ))
{
fotoWidth = sourceImage.Width;
fotoHeight = sourceImage.Height;
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- Resizer to fit within bounding box with aspect ratio integrity
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ((fotoHeight > photoConfig.height) || (fotoWidth > photoConfig.width))
{
double maxWidth = 900; // 3.00 Inches
double maxHeight = 675; // 2.25 Inches
var ratioX = maxWidth / fotoWidth;
var ratioY = maxHeight / fotoHeight;
var ratio = Math.Min(ratioX, ratioY);
var newWidth = (int)(fotoWidth * ratio);
var newHeight = (int)(fotoHeight * ratio);
fotoWidth = newWidth;
fotoHeight = newHeight;
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- Insert Image with pixel to point conversion
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aspose.Pdf.Image img = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
img.File = photoPath;
img.FixHeight = (fotoHeight / 300) * 72 ; // Convert to Points
img.FixWidth = (fotoWidth / 300) * 72 ; // Convert to Points
img.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
img.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
photoBox.Paragraphs.Add( img );
page.Paragraphs.Add ( photoBox );
}
