Method Detail

createFromImage

public static PDImageXObject createFromImage(PDDocument document,
                                             BufferedImage image)
                                      throws IOException

Creates a new lossless encoded image XObject from a BufferedImage.

New for advanced users from 2.0.12 on:
If you created your image with a non standard ICC colorspace, it will be preserved. (If you load images in java using ImageIO then no need to read this segment) However a new colorspace will be created for each image. So if you create a PDF with several such images, consider replacing the colorspace with a common object to save space. This is done with PDImageXObject.getColorSpace() and PDImageXObject.setColorSpace()

Parameters:

document - the document where the image will be created

image - the BufferedImage to embed

Returns:

a new image XObject

Throws:

IOException - if something goes wrong
