PdfWriter Class

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. This format was developed by Adobe® Systems® Incorporated for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and nowadays this formats became standard de facto in this field. In general this formats contains not only raster images, but also vector data and texts. However Graphics Mill for .NET can only embed raster images to PDF file.

You can create multiple pages in the PDF file. Bitmaps stored in the frame can be of most all the pixel format.

The same, but using PdfWriter class. This class provides more flexible file saving support. In particular, you can use asynchronous mode, etc.

Dim bitmap As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap("c:\Mountain.jpg")

Dim writer As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfWriter("C:\Mountain.pdf")

Dim frame As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfFrame
frame.Quality = 70
frame.SetBitmap(bitmap)

bitmap.Dispose()

writer.AddFrame(frame)

frame.Dispose()

writer.Dispose()

using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap bitmap = 
           new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap(@"c:\Mountain.jpg"))
{
    using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfWriter writer = 
               new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfWriter(@"C:\Mountain.pdf"))
    {
        using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfFrame frame = 
                   new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.PdfFrame())
        {
            frame.Quality = 70;
            frame.SetBitmap(bitmap);
        
            writer.AddFrame(frame);                    
        }
    }        
}
