Problem stamping GIF image with transparent background on a PDF

Hello,


I have the following code:

	       //Open document
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(inputPdfFile);
           <span style="color:green;">//Create image stamp</span>
           Aspose.Pdf.<span style="color:#2b91af;">ImageStamp</span> imageStamp = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> Aspose.Pdf.<span style="color:#2b91af;">ImageStamp</span>(imageFile);
           imageStamp.Background = background;
           imageStamp.XIndent = lowerLeftX;
           imageStamp.YIndent = lowerLeftY;
           imageStamp.Height = upperRightY - lowerLeftY;
           imageStamp.Width = upperRightX - lowerLeftX;
           <span style="color:green;">//Add stamp to particular page</span>
           pdfDocument.Pages[pageNumber].AddStamp(imageStamp);

           <span style="color:green;">//Save output document</span>
           pdfDocument.Save(outputPdfFile);</pre><pre style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: 13px; background: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;">My problem is that when the GIF has transparent background, this code puts a BLACK background on the image.</span></pre><pre style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: 13px; background: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;">Stamping the same files with iTextSharp does the job perfectly.</span></pre><pre style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: 13px; background: white;"><br></pre></div>

What about this??

Hi Nir,


Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid the issue is still not resolved as product team was busy in resolving other high priority issues. However, I have raised your issue priority and requested our team to complete the issue investigation and share an ETA at their earliest. We will notify you as soon as we get a feedback.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Well, it’s been over two years now…
by the way, PNG images with transparent background works fine.

Hi Nir,

Please also note that adding a image with transparent background using the Aspose.Pdf.Document object, also does not work. Here, PNG and GIF both render with black background

Hi Nir,


Thanks for sharing the sample image. I have tested the scenario with Aspose.Pdf for .NET 16.11.0 and unable to notice black background issue. I will appreciate it if you please try the scenario with latest version and share the results. If the issue persist then please share your sample code here as well, so we will look into it and will guide you accordingly.

//Open document<o:p></o:p>

Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(myDir + "Lenovo_Tablet_2_Pag1.pdf");

//Create image stamp

Aspose.Pdf.ImageStamp imageStamp = new Aspose.Pdf.ImageStamp(myDir + "TOC.png");

imageStamp.Background = false;

imageStamp.XIndent = 400;

imageStamp.YIndent = 400;

imageStamp.Height = 100;

imageStamp.Width = 100;

//Add stamp to particular page

pdfDocument.Pages[1].AddStamp(imageStamp);

//Save output document

pdfDocument.Save(myDir + "transparenttest.pdf");
