Hi,
Basically you'll scan the image into an Image object and then use ImageMan.Net to save that object as a PDF file.
There are several options for saving the file, the high level approach is to call the ImageCollection Save method and specify a filename to save with a .PDFextension. The low level approach would be to create an instance of the PDFEncoder class and then call the Save method.
Here's some info on saving files from the help:
ImageMan.Net supports saving images to files or .Net streams. Images can be
saved using the Viewer control, the ImageCollection class
or using an encoder class.
Using the Viewer Control
The overloaded Save method of
the Viewer control provides the ability to save all or some of the images in
the Images collection to a file or a stream.
Saving a File using a default extension
This method tries to determine the image Encoder to use by looking at the
filename's extension. The extension specified must match that of one of the
encoders in the RegisteredEncoders
collection or an exception will be thrown.
[C#]
viewer1.Save( "file.png");
[Visual Basic]
viewer1.Save "file.png"
Saving a File using a non standard extension or with custom
attributes
By creating a specific image Encoder you can control how the image is saved
by setting any format specific properties such as the Quality factor in JPG or
the Compression type in TIFF or PNG images.
This method also allows you to save images into files using a non standard
image extension.
[C#]
JpgEncoder jpg = new JpgEncoder(50); // Set the JPG Quality
factor to 50
viewer1.Save("image.jpg", jpg);
[Visual Basic]
Dim jpg As JpgEncoder = New JpgEncoder(50) ' Set the JPG Quality
factor to 50
viewer1.Save("image.jpg", jpg)
Saving specific pages of a multi page image
This overload of the Save method allows you to specify the range of pages to
be saved. The parameter after the filename is the starting page index (0-based)
and the next parameter is the number of pages to write. If the image format
doesnt support multi page images then an exception will be thrown if you try to
write > 1 page to a file.
[C#]
viewer1.Save( "image.png", 0, 2);
[Visual Basic]
viewer1.Save "image.png", 0, 2
Using the ImageCollection
The overloaded Save method of
the ImageCollection class provides the ability to save all or some of the images
in the collection to a file or a stream just like the Save method of the Viewer
class..
Saving a File using a default extension
This method tries to determine the image Encoder to use by looking at the
filename's extension. The extension specified must match that of one of the
encoders in the RegisteredEncoders
collection.
[C#]
imageCollection1.Save( "file.png");
[Visual Basic]
imageCollection.Save "file.png"
Saving a File using a non standard extension or with custom
attributes
By creating a specific image Encoder you can control how the image is saved
by setting any format specific properties such as the Quality factor in JPG or
the Compression type in TIFF or PNG images.
This method also allows you to save images into files using a non standard
image extension.
[C#]
JpgEncoder jpg = new JpgEncoder(50); // Set the JPG Quality
factor to 50
imageCollection.Save("fimage.jpg", jpg);
[Visual Basic]
Dim jpg As JpgEncoder = New JpgEncoder(50) ' Set the JPG Quality
factor to 50
imageCollection.Save("fimage.jpg", jpg)
Saving a page of a multi page image
This overload of the Save method allows you to specify the range of pages to
be saved. The parameter after the filename is the starting page index (0-based)
and the next parameter is the number of pages to write. If the image format
doesnt support multi page images then an exception will be thrown if you try to
write > 1 page to a file.
[C#]
viewer1.Save( "file.png", 0, 2);
[Visual Basic]
viewer1.Save "file.png", 0, 2
Using an Image Encoder
Saving images using an encoder object provides the most control over the
image writing process. All encoders support the ImEncoder interface and
those that support writing multi page files also support the ImMultiPageEncoder
interface.
In addition to the properties of the ImEncoder interface many encoders will
include additional properties to support format specific options such as
compression, types, etc.
[C#]
ImImage image;
...
JpgEncoder jpg = new JpgEncoder(50); // Create Jpeg Encoder with
Quality Factor of 50
FileStream stream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read);
jpg.Save( stream, image, null ); // Save the image to the
stream with no ProcessCallBack handler
[Visual Basic]
Dim image As ImImage
...
Dim jpg As JpgEncoder = New JpgEncoder(50) ' Create Jpeg Encoder
with Quality Factor of 50
Dim stream As FileStream = New FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read)
jpg.Save(stream, image, Nothing) ' Save the
image to the stream with no ProcessCallBack handler
Saving all the images in an ImageCollection using an
encoder
[C#]
FileStream stream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read);
TifEncoder tif = new TifEncoder();
tif.Compression = DTI.ImageMan.Codecs.Tif.Compression.Group4;
foreach( ImImage img in Images ) {
stream.Seek( 0, SeekOrigin.Begin ); // Seek back to 0 for each page of the
image
tif.Save( stream, img, null );
}
[Visual Basic]
Dim stream As FileStream = New FileStream(filename,
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read)
Dim tif As TifEncoder = New TifEncoder()
tif.Compression = DTI.ImageMan.Codecs.Tif.Compression.Group4
For Each img As ImImage In Images
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin) ' Seek back to 0 for each page
of the image
tif.Save(stream, img, Nothing) ' Save the image to the
stream with no ProcessCallBack handler
Next img
