Save(Stream,WiaImageEncoderSettings) Method (WiaAcquiredImage)
In This Topic
Saves this image to a specified stream in the specified format and with specified encoder settings.
Syntax
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
Thrown if stream is null or encoderSettings is null.
Remarks

Image can be:
- saved as image file (BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF)
- added to multipage TIFF file
- saved into new PDF or PDF/A document
- added to existing PDF or PDF/A document

Available compressions for images saved into TIFF file:
- without compression
- CCITT Group 4 Fax compression
- LZW compression
- ZIP compression
- JPEG compression

Available compressions for images saved into PDF document:
- without compression
- CCITT Group 4 Fax compression
- LZW compression
- ZIP compression
- JPEG compression

Image can be added to a PDF document compatible with version 1.4 or earlier of PDF standard.


Image will be saved as BMP file if encoderSettings is not null and encoderSettings is an /// instance of type WiaBmpEncoderSettings.

Image will be saved as JPEG file if encoderSettings is not null and encoderSettings is an instance of type WiaJpegEncoderSettings.

Image will be saved as PDF file if encoderSettings is not null and encoderSettings is an instance of type WiaPdfEncoderSettings.

Image will be saved as PNG file if encoderSettings is not null and encoderSettings is an instance of type WiaPngEncoderSettings.

Image will be saved as TIFF file if encoderSettings is not null and encoderSettings is an instance of type WiaTiffEncoderSettings.

Example

This C#/VB.NET code shows how to acquire images from WIA device and save images to a PDF file.
