Thanks, it works!

On an example I receive a horizontal 96dpi, but for some reason on the vertical I get 96.000121something... However if I ROUND it my software works fine.

Am I right to assume that when I load a PDF file it's current zoom level is its actual size = 100%?

Chopinke,

PDF files do not have a DPI value which is why they can be scaled and zoomed.

It is possible to extract the DPI of the images in the PDF but a PDF could have multiple images with various DPI values.

Here is some code to extract the DPI values from the images on a page.

// This will extract the DPI of the image at the size it is drawn onto the PDF page.

// Now that the image is draw we can calculate the number of pixels per inch that it was drawn at.

int id = QP.GetPageImageList(0);

for (int i = 1; i <= QP.GetImageListCount(id); i++)

{

int widthInPixels = QP.GetImageListItemIntProperty(id, i, 401);

int heightInPixels = QP.GetImageListItemIntProperty(id, i, 402);

// Default measurement units are in points. 72points = 1 inch.

double imageWidth = Math.Abs(QP.GetImageListItemDblProperty(id, i, 503) - QP.GetImageListItemDblProperty(id, i, 501));

double imageHeight = Math.Abs(QP.GetImageListItemDblProperty(id, i, 508) - QP.GetImageListItemDblProperty(id, i, 502));

double dpix = widthInPixels / imageWidth * 72;

double dpiy = heightInPixels / imageHeight * 72;

MessageBox.Show("DPIX = " + dpix.ToString() + " DPIY = " + dpiy.ToString());

}

Andrew.

Hi,

I have an app which creates a PDF with exactly one image / page (like scanned PDF) using RenderPageToStream/AddImageFromStream. Now when somebody adds some text/annotation/etc to it, I want to 're-render' the page into a new one image / page PDF.

However I don't know the DPI of the current PDF or the image embedded to it. Can that somehow be retrieved from PDF information (media box, dropbox, etc)?

Your help is appreciated!
