PDFBox: Problem with converting pdf page into image
Solution 1:
Convert PDF file 04-Request-Headers.pdf to image using pdfbox.
Download this file and paste it in Documents folder.
Example:
package com.pdf.pdfbox.test;
import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
import org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFImageWriter;
public class ConvertPDFPageToImageWithoutText {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String oldPath = "C:/Documents/04-Request-Headers.pdf";
File oldFile = new File(oldPath);
if (oldFile.exists()) {
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(oldPath);
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<PDPage> list = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
String fileName = oldFile.getName().replace(".pdf", "");
String imageFormat = "png";
String password = "";
int startPage = 1;
int endPage = list.size();
String outputPrefix = "C:/Documents/PDFCopy/";//converted images saved here
File file = new File(outputPrefix);
if (!file.exists()) {
file.mkdirs();
}
int imageType = 24;
String color = "rgb";
int resolution;
try {
resolution = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenResolution();
} catch (HeadlessException e) {
resolution = 96;
}
if ("bilevel".equalsIgnoreCase(color)) {
imageType = BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY;
} else if ("indexed".equalsIgnoreCase(color)) {
imageType = BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED;
} else if ("gray".equalsIgnoreCase(color)) {
imageType = BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY;
} else if ("rgb".equalsIgnoreCase(color)) {
imageType = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB;
} else if ("rgba".equalsIgnoreCase(color)) {
imageType = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB;
} else {
System.err.println("Error: the number of bits per pixel must be 1, 8 or 24.");
}
PDFImageWriter pdfImageWriter = new PDFImageWriter();
boolean imageWriter = pdfImageWriter.writeImage(document, imageFormat, password, startPage, endPage, outputPrefix + fileName, imageType, resolution);
if (!imageWriter) {
throw new Exception("No writer found for format '" + imageFormat + "'");
}
document.close();
} else {
System.err.println(oldPath +" File Can't be found");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
