Impossible to remove all images from page

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,

I need to remove images from .pdf by condition. When I remove only 1 image everything is fine but even with two images it fails.
Demo which shows that it’s not possible to remove all (two) images from the second page of a test document:

Aspose version: 17.9.0.0

Code which is used to remove images:

Public Shared Sub RemoveImages(ByVal pathToDocument As String, ByVal pathToOutputDocument As String)
        Dim ImagesToRemove As New List(Of Tuple(Of Integer, Integer)) 'Item1=PageNumber, Item2=ImageIndex

        Dim AsposeLicense As New Aspose.Pdf.License()
        AsposeLicense.SetLicense("Aspose.Total.lic")

        Using PdfDocument As New Aspose.Pdf.Document(pathToDocument)
            For i As Integer = 1 To PdfDocument.Pages.Count
                Using Page As Aspose.Pdf.Page = PdfDocument.Pages(i)
                    Dim ImagePlacementAbsorber As New Aspose.Pdf.ImagePlacementAbsorber
                    Page.Accept(ImagePlacementAbsorber)
                    If ImagePlacementAbsorber IsNot Nothing AndAlso ImagePlacementAbsorber.ImagePlacements IsNot Nothing AndAlso ImagePlacementAbsorber.ImagePlacements.Count > 0 Then
                        For j As Integer = 1 To ImagePlacementAbsorber.ImagePlacements.Count
                            Dim ImagePlacement As Aspose.Pdf.ImagePlacement = ImagePlacementAbsorber.ImagePlacements(j)
                            If i = 2 Then 'i is number of Page
                                ImagesToRemove.Add(New Tuple(Of Integer, Integer)(i, j))
                            End If
                        Next
                    End If
                End Using
            Next
        End Using

        RemoveImagesFromPdf(pathToDocument, ImagesToRemove, pathToOutputDocument)
    End Sub

    Private Shared Sub RemoveImagesFromPdf(ByVal pathToDocument As String, _
                                           ByVal imagesToRemove As List(Of Tuple(Of Integer, Integer)), _
                                           ByVal pathToOutputDocument As String)
        If imagesToRemove IsNot Nothing AndAlso imagesToRemove.Count > 0 Then
            Using PdfDocument As New Aspose.Pdf.Document(pathToDocument)
                For i As Integer = 0 To imagesToRemove.Count - 1
                    PdfDocument.Pages(imagesToRemove(i).Item1).Resources.Images.Delete(imagesToRemove(i).Item2)
                Next

                PdfDocument.Save(pathToOutputDocument)
            End Using
        End If
    End Sub

@tak,

Please modify the code of method RemoveImagesFromPdf as follows:

[VB.NET]

Private Sub RemoveImagesFromPdf(ByVal pathToDocument As String,
                                   ByVal imagesToRemove As List(Of Tuple(Of Integer, Integer)),
                                   ByVal pathToOutputDocument As String)
    If imagesToRemove IsNot Nothing AndAlso imagesToRemove.Count > 0 Then
        Using PdfDocument As New Aspose.Pdf.Document(pathToDocument)
            Dim count As Integer = 0
            For i As Integer = 0 To imagesToRemove.Count - 1                    
 PdfDocument.Pages(imagesToRemove(i).Item1).Resources.Images.Delete(imagesToRemove(i).Item2 - count)
        count = count + 1
    Next

    PdfDocument.Save(pathToOutputDocument)
End Using
        End If
    End Sub

This is the output PDF with version 17.10: Processed.pdf (346.9 KB)

Thank you, modified version is able to remove all images from the second page.
But after attempt to remove images from both first and second page I have another problem: updated .pdf is saved but Adobe shows error after opening it and scrolling to the second page:
“An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF to correct the problem.”

Demo project which shows new problem:
