Add 300dpi image to PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Thanks for your answer.  Here is the procedure I use:
- An example of image is a jpg: 1013x1500 px with 300 dpi and 24 bits color.
- If I print this image directly from windows, it's about 85mm x 125mm.
- I have a PDF with only one A4 page. 
- I want to add this image to the page, but I must fit the real dimension when printed, that is, 85x123mm.

I use the next Delphi code:

PDFLibrary.LoadFromFile('c:\tmp\mypdf.pdf','');
idx:=PDFLibrary.AddImageFromFile('c:\tmp\myimage.jpg',0);
PDFLibrary.SelectImage(idx);
PDFLibrary.SetImageResolution(300,300,2);
hr:=((jpg.width*2.54)/10);
vr:=((jpg.Height*2.54)/10);
PDFLibrary.FitImage(0, PDFLibrary.PageHeight, hr, vr, 1, 1, 0);
PDFLibrary.SaveToFile(filename);

I'll try with PDFLibrary.DrawImage(0, PDFLibrary.PageHeight, hr, vr); too.
The image is added and render good and I open pdf and see its size is correctly on A4 page.
But the problem is If I print the image with full quality and see difference from printing the jpg image directly to printer. 
I think the problem is FitImage or Draw image reduce dpi resolution when draw.
Or pheraps I have a mistake.
Any help?

	Some sample code would be helpful. Here is a link that shows the correct way to add an image to a PDF and size it correctly based on the imageWidth/Height and DPI. http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/creating-a-multi-page-pdf-from-a-multipage-tiff_topic2125.html The trick is to call int dpix = QP.ImageHorizontalResolution(); and int dpiy = QP.ImageVerticalResolution(); as QP.ImageWidth and QP.ImageHeight return values in pixels whereas QP.DrawImage requires values in points by default (72 points = 1 inch) Andrew.

	Hello. I want to add a jpg image to a PDF with AddImageFromFile. This image is about 1400x1200 px but with 300dpi. When I print this image is about 10x10 cm long, but If I add this image to pdf it takes all the page. The problem is how I say the resolution of image when adding it to pdf. I try with FitImage and SetImageResolution, but I cann't do it. Some help? thanks.
