How to save WIA acquired image(s) to a PDF document?
In This Topic
Image, which is acquired from WIA device, can be saved to a new PDF document or added to an existing PDF document.
Here is an example that demonstrates how to acquire an image from WIA device and save acquired image to a PDF file:
/// <summary>
/// Acquires images from WIA device and saves images to a PDF file.
/// </summary>
public void AcquireImagesFromWiaDeviceAndSaveImagesToPdfFile()
{
// create WIA device manager
using (Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager())
{
// open WIA device manager
deviceManager.Open();
// get count of WIA devices
int deviceCount = deviceManager.Devices.Count;
if (deviceCount == 0)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.");
return;
}
// select the first WIA device
Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDevice device = deviceManager.Devices[0];
// open WIA device
device.Open();
Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaAcquiredImage acquiredImage = null;
do
{
try
{
// acquire image from WIA device
acquiredImage = device.AcquireImageSync();
// if image is received
if (acquiredImage != null)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Image is acquired.");
// create TIFF encoder settings
Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.ImageEncoders.WiaPdfEncoderSettings pdfEncoderSettings =
new Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.ImageEncoders.WiaPdfEncoderSettings();
// specify that image must be added to a PDF file
pdfEncoderSettings.PdfMultiPage = true;
// specify image must be compressed with ZIP compression
pdfEncoderSettings.PdfImageCompression = Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.ImageEncoders.WiaPdfImageCompression.ZIP;
// process acquired image
acquiredImage.Save("test.pdf", pdfEncoderSettings);
}
// if image is not received
else
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Scan is completed.");
break;
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Scan is failed: {0}", ex.Message));
break;
}
}
// while image is acquired
while (acquiredImage != null);
// close WIA device
device.Close();
// close WIA device manager
deviceManager.Close();
}
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
