Hi,

I'm using GM for .NET and need to identify whether or not an image has a clipping path.

The product page on the website mentions that this is possible (8BIM resources) but I can't find any documentation to help me locate clipping paths.

Can you show me the way?

Thanks, Paul.

Hello Paul,

Yes, of course. If your task is only get answer "yes, clipping path is present" or "no, there is no clipping path" - you should retrieve Adobe resource block dictionary from the reader and check whether it contains blocks related to clipping path.

I am really not a big specialist in Adobe 8BIM format, but I think that it worth trying to check for blocks with IDs in a range from 0x07D0 to 0x0BB6. Specification says that these block contains path information.

Feel free to post message here in case of any additional questions. I will try to assist you with this task.


Best wishes, Alex.
