Problem replacing BMP images with JPG image

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

   Hi All,
I am having issues when trying to replace BMP images in a PDF with JPG Images.  I am extracting the images details from the PDF fine but when I replace the images with JPG versions of the same image the image is not being replaced.  The replace code I'm using is as follows (VBScript)

                        DPL.ReplaceImage ImageID, DPL.AddImageFromFile(NewImageFileName,0)
                        DPL.ClearImage(ImageID)

If I extract the original images to disc and then replace the images in the PDF with exactly the same BMP images from disc it's working fine.  It's just when I replace with JOG images that it doesn't work.

I'm new to QP so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

	Hi Bob, i'm wondering what's in ImageID after your ReplaceImage... Still the replaced image or the new one? if it's then the new one and you're doing the ClearImage then there's still the old one... perhaps ;-) I think you should try first the ReplaceImage alone to see if there's success. Before the ClearImage a new SelectImage could be necessary... perhaps ;-) http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/ReplaceImage.php Perhaps it's better using the new imageid as second parameter... Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo, Thanks for your reply. It's still the old image in ImageID. I think your suggestion of trying SelectImage before I use ClearImage may help so I will try that first. I appreciate the help. Thanks Bob
