How to extract the shape from the pdf ?
do we need to use operators to get the shape ?
Can you please share what kind of shape your PDF has? Are these images? If possible, can you please share your sample PDF with us and explain how you want to process the extracted shape/image further?
We added a new functionality for interacting with graphic elements. Elements can be absorbed by GraphicAbsorber class :
var source = new Document(input1);
var ga = new GraphicsAbsorber();
ga.Visit(source.Pages[1]);
You can position of each element (SuppressUpdate and ResumeUpdate are needed to avoid contents stream updates after each position change):
va.SuppressUpdate();
foreach (var el in va.Elements)
{
var position = el.Position;
el.Position = new Point(position.X - 150, position.Y - 100);
}
va.ResumeUpdate();
You can delete delete elements from the page’s content one by one:
va.SuppressUpdate();
var rectangle = new Rectangle(500, 0, 600, 200);
foreach (var el in va.Elements)
{
if (!rectangle.Contains(element.Position))
{
el.Remove();
}
}
va.ResumeUpdate();
or collect items into GraphicElementCollection and delete them at once (better performance):
var rectangle = new Rectangle(500, 0, 600, 200);
var elems = new GraphicElementCollection();
foreach (var element in ga.Elements)
{
if (!rectangle.Contains(element.Position))
{
elems.Add(element);
}
}
source.Pages[1].DeleteGraphics(elems);
And also you can add graphic elements to another page:
destinationDoc.Pages[1].Contents.SuppressUpdate();
foreach (var el in elems)
{
el.AddOnPage(destinationDoc.Pages[1]);
}
destinationDoc.Pages[1].Contents.ResumeUpdate();
or by using:
destinationDoc.Pages[1].AddGraphics(ga.Elements);
If you don’t find any function to process the extracted graphics as per your desire, please let us know so that we can further proceed accordingly.
Will check this and get back to you for any clarification.Thank you
