Add and remove pages in an existing PDF
This sample shows how to insert and delete pages of an existing PDF document. Since PDF pages can't be edited in place, it reopens the source file with PdfReader and rebuilds it page by page with PdfWriter: copying each page's content with GetContent and Graphics.DrawContainer, skipping the page to remove, and adding a brand-new page where one should be inserted.
Combine multiple PDF files into one document
This sample shows how to combine the pages of several existing PDF files into a single multi-page PDF document. It opens each source file with PdfReader, copies every page's vector content into a new document with PdfWriter and Graphics.DrawContainer, preserving each source page's own size and resolution.
Convert And Write JPEG
Converts to PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb to and saves to JPEG format.
Copy Clipping Path
Copies all Adobe resources including clipping path.
Copy Clipping Path (Memory Friendly)
Copies clipping path using memory-friendly Pipeline API.
Crop Image And Preserve Clipping Path
Crops image and preserves clipping path.
Crop Jpeg Losslessly
Crops JPEG image losslessly.
Enum Container Elements
Enumerates the elements of a graphics container.
Flip Jpeg Losslessly
Flips JPEG image losslessly.
Get embedded profile using memory-friendly Pipeline API
Gets and displays information about the embedded profile using the memory-friendly Pipeline API.
Get EXIF Thumbnail
Gets thumbnail of image from its EXIF metadata.
Load Multiframe Image
Loads multiframe image.
Load Save Stream
Loads and saves image to stream.
Modify Clipping Path Explicitly
Modifies clipping path explicitly.
Modify Clipping Path Explicitly (Memory Friendly)
Modifies clipping path explicitly using memory-friendly Pipeline API.
Overlay one PDF's graphics onto another
This sample shows how to overlay the vector content of one PDF file, such as a seal or logo, onto every page of another PDF file. It reads the stamp from "Seal.pdf" and the page content from "GraphicsContainer.pdf" with PdfReader, shrinks the stamp's GraphicsContainer to a fixed size with Scale, then draws the page content and the stamp together onto each output page with PdfWriter and Graphics.DrawContainer.
Process Complex EXIF Types
Reads and writes complex EXIF tags.
Read and Write JPEG
Reads and writes image in JPEG format.
Read and write PDF page boxes
This sample shows how to define print production page boundaries (MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, and ArtBox) when writing a 300 DPI PDF, and how to read them back afterwards. It builds a bleed-aware business card layout with PdfWriter and PdfPage, converting real-world sizes to pixels with UnitConverter, then reopens the file with PdfReader to show that CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, and ArtBox always come back in points regardless of the page's DPI.
