 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Since our document contains a custom font, embedding in the output document may be desirable.
 // Set the "EmbedFullFonts" property to "true" to embed every glyph of every embedded font in the output PDF.
 // The document's size may become very large, but we will have full use of all fonts if we edit the PDF.
 // Set the "EmbedFullFonts" property to "false" to apply subsetting to fonts, saving only the glyphs
 // that the document is using. The file will be considerably smaller,
 // but we may need access to any custom fonts if we edit the document.
 options.setEmbedFullFonts(embedFullFonts);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts.pdf", options);

 if (embedFullFonts)
     Assert.assertTrue(new File(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts.pdf").length() < 571000);
 else
     Assert.assertTrue(new File(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts.pdf").length() < 25000);

Using PdfImageCompression.AUTO lets to control the quality of Jpeg in the output document through the getJpegQuality() / setJpegQuality(int) property, but for other formats, raw pixel data is extracted and saved with Flate compression. This case is slower than Jpeg conversion but lossless.

Examples:

Shows how to specify a compression type for all images in a document that we are converting to PDF.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Jpeg image:");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
 builder.insertParagraph();
 builder.writeln("Png image:");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Auto" to use the
 // "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of the Jpeg images that end up in the output PDF.
 // Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Jpeg" to use the
 // "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of all images that end up in the output PDF.
 pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(pdfImageCompression);

 // Set the "JpegQuality" property to "10" to strengthen compression at the cost of image quality.

 // If the rendering result is unsatisfactory,
 // please use 'ImlRenderingMode.Fallback' to get a result similar to previous versions.
 ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.JPEG);
 {
     saveOptions.setImlRenderingMode(ImlRenderingMode.INK_ML);
 }

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "ImageSaveOptions.RenderInkObject.jpeg", saveOptions);
 

Returns: int - A value determining how ink (InkML) objects are rendered. The returned value is one of ImlRenderingMode constants.

getInterpolateImages()

public boolean getInterpolateImages()

A flag indicating whether image interpolation shall be performed by a conforming reader. When false is specified, the flag is not written to the output document and the default behaviour of reader is used instead.

Remarks:

When the resolution of a source image is significantly lower than that of the output device, each source sample covers many device pixels. As a result, images can appear jaggy or blocky. These visual artifacts can be reduced by applying an image interpolation algorithm during rendering. Instead of painting all pixels covered by a source sample with the same color, image interpolation attempts to produce a smooth transition between adjacent sample values.

A conforming Reader may choose to not implement this feature of PDF, or may use any specific implementation of interpolation that it wishes.

The default value is false .

Interpolation flag is prohibited by PDF/A compliance. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A.

Examples:

Shows how to perform interpolation on images while saving a document to PDF.

setImageCompression(int value)

public void setImageCompression(int value)

Specifies compression type to be used for all images in the document.

Remarks:

Default is PdfImageCompression.AUTO.

Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG lets you control the quality of images in the output document through the getJpegQuality() / setJpegQuality(int) property.

Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG provides the fastest conversion speed when compared to the performance of other compression types, but in this case, there is lossy JPEG compression.

Using PdfImageCompression.AUTO lets to control the quality of Jpeg in the output document through the getJpegQuality() / setJpegQuality(int) property, but for other formats, raw pixel data is extracted and saved with Flate compression. This case is slower than Jpeg conversion but lossless.

Examples:

Shows how to specify a compression type for all images in a document that we are converting to PDF.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Jpeg image:");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
 builder.insertParagraph();
 builder.writeln("Png image:");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Auto" to use the
 // "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of the Jpeg images that end up in the output PDF.
 // Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Jpeg" to use the
 // "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of all images that end up in the output PDF.
 pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(pdfImageCompression);

 // Set the "JpegQuality" property to "10" to strengthen compression at the cost of image quality.
 pdfSaveOptions.setJpegQuality(10);

Examples:

Shows how to render Ink object.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Ink object.docx");

 // Set 'ImlRenderingMode.InkML' ignores fall-back shape of ink (InkML) object and renders InkML itself.
 // If the rendering result is unsatisfactory,
 // please use 'ImlRenderingMode.Fallback' to get a result similar to previous versions.
 ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.JPEG);
 {
     saveOptions.setImlRenderingMode(ImlRenderingMode.INK_ML);
 }

setInterpolateImages(boolean value)

public void setInterpolateImages(boolean value)

A flag indicating whether image interpolation shall be performed by a conforming reader. When false is specified, the flag is not written to the output document and the default behaviour of reader is used instead.

Remarks:

When the resolution of a source image is significantly lower than that of the output device, each source sample covers many device pixels. As a result, images can appear jaggy or blocky. These visual artifacts can be reduced by applying an image interpolation algorithm during rendering. Instead of painting all pixels covered by a source sample with the same color, image interpolation attempts to produce a smooth transition between adjacent sample values.

A conforming Reader may choose to not implement this feature of PDF, or may use any specific implementation of interpolation that it wishes.

The default value is false .

Interpolation flag is prohibited by PDF/A compliance. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A.

Examples:

Shows how to perform interpolation on images while saving a document to PDF.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png"));
 builder.insertImage(img);

 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "true" to get the reader that opens this document to interpolate images.
 // Their resolution should be lower than that of the device that is displaying the document.
 // Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "false" to make it so that the reader does not apply any interpolation.
 saveOptions.setInterpolateImages(interpolateImages);

 // When we open this document with a reader such as Adobe Acrobat, we will need to zoom in on the image
 // to see the interpolation effect if we saved the document with it enabled.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.InterpolateImages.pdf", saveOptions);
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valuebooleanThe corresponding boolean value.

setJpegQuality(int value)

public void setJpegQuality(int value)

Sets a value determining the quality of the JPEG images inside PDF document.

Remarks:

The default value is 100.

This property is used in conjunction with the getImageCompression() / setImageCompression(int) option.

Has effect only when a document contains JPEG images.

Use this property to get or set the quality of the images inside a document when saving in PDF format. The value may vary from 0 to 100 where 0 means worst quality but maximum compression and 100 means best quality but minimum compression. If quality is 100 and source image is JPEG, it means no compression - original bytes will be saved.

Examples:

Shows how to specify a compression type for all images in a document that we are converting to PDF.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Jpeg image:");

setPreblendImages(boolean value)

public void setPreblendImages(boolean value)

Sets a value determining whether or not to preblend transparent images with black background color.

Remarks:

Preblending images may improve PDF document visual appearance in Adobe Reader and remove anti-aliasing artifacts.

In order to properly display preblended images, PDF viewer application must support /Matte entry in soft-mask image dictionary. Also preblending images may decrease PDF rendering performance.

The default value is false .

Examples:

Shows how to preblend images with transparent backgrounds while saving a document to PDF.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "PreblendImages" property to "true" to preblend transparent images
 // with a background, which may reduce artifacts.
 // Set the "PreblendImages" property to "false" to render transparent images normally.
 options.setPreblendImages(preblendImages);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.PreblendImages.pdf", options);
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valuebooleanA value determining whether or not to preblend transparent images with black background color.

setPreserveFormFields(boolean value)

public void setPreserveFormFields(boolean value)

Specifies whether to preserve Microsoft Word form fields as form fields in PDF or convert them to text. Default is false .

Remarks:

Microsoft Word form fields include text input, drop down and check box controls.

When set to false , these fields will be exported as text to PDF. When set to true , these fields will be exported as PDF form fields.

When exporting form fields to PDF as form fields, some formatting loss might occur because PDF form fields do not support all features of Microsoft Word form fields.

Also, the output size depends on the content size because editable forms in Microsoft Word are inline objects.

Editable forms are prohibited by PDF/A compliance. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A.

Form fields are not supported when saving to PDF/UA. false value will be used automatically.

Examples:

Shows how to save a document to the PDF format using the Save method and the PdfSaveOptions class.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.write("Please select a fruit: ");

 // Insert a combo box which will allow a user to choose an option from a collection of strings.
 builder.insertComboBox("MyComboBox", new String[]{"Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"}, 0);

 // Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
 // to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
 PdfSaveOptions pdfOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "PreserveFormFields" property to "true" to save form fields as interactive objects in the output PDF.
 // Set the "PreserveFormFields" property to "false" to freeze all form fields in the document at
 // their current values and display them as plain text in the output PDF.

 PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();

 // Set the "UseBookFoldPrintingSettings" property to "true" to arrange the contents
 // in the output PDF in a way that helps us use it to make a booklet.
 // Set the "UseBookFoldPrintingSettings" property to "false" to render the PDF normally.
 options.setUseBookFoldPrintingSettings(renderTextAsBookfold);

 // If we are rendering the document as a booklet, we must set the "MultiplePages"
 // properties of the page setup objects of all sections to "MultiplePagesType.BookFoldPrinting".
 if (renderTextAsBookfold)
     for (Section s : doc.getSections()) {
         s.getPageSetup().setMultiplePages(MultiplePagesType.BOOK_FOLD_PRINTING);
     }

 // Once we print this document on both sides of the pages, we can fold all the pages down the middle at once,

Core PDF fonts, or their font metrics and suitable substitution fonts, are required to be available to any PDF viewer application.

This setting works only for the text in ANSI (Windows-1252) encoding. Non-ANSI text will be written with embedded TrueType font regardless of this setting.

PDF/A and PDF/UA compliance requires all fonts to be embedded. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A and PDF/UA.

Core fonts are not supported when saving to PDF 2.0 format. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF 2.0.

This option has a higher priority then getFontEmbeddingMode() / setFontEmbeddingMode(int) option.

Examples:

Shows how enable/disable PDF Type 1 font substitution.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
