Image Example

This example shows how to create a simple PDF displaying an image.

First we create an ABCpdf Image object and we assign our image file.

[C#]
XImage theImg = new XImage();
theImg.SetFile(Server.MapPath("../mypics/pic.jpg"));

[Visual Basic]
Dim theImg As XImage = New XImage()
theImg.SetFile(Server.MapPath("../mypics/pic.jpg"))


Next we create an ABCpdf Doc object.

When we add our image it will be scaled to fit the current rect so it is important that we adjust the rect to reflect the dimensions of our image. Here we assume a one to one ratio between pixels and points which will give us a 72 dpi result when printed.

[C#]
Doc theDoc = new Doc();
theDoc.Rect.Left = 100;
theDoc.Rect.Bottom = 100;
theDoc.Rect.Width = theImg.Width;
theDoc.Rect.Height = theImg.Height;
theDoc.AddImageObject(theImg, false);
theDoc.Save(Server.MapPath("image.pdf"));
theDoc.Clear();

[Visual Basic]
Dim theDoc As Doc = New Doc()
theDoc.Rect.Left = 100
theDoc.Rect.Bottom = 100
theDoc.Rect.Width = theImg.Width
theDoc.Rect.Height = theImg.Height
theDoc.AddImageObject(theImg, false)
theDoc.Save(Server.MapPath("image.pdf"))
theDoc.Clear()
