Hey Senior: Should not be a problem. You could convert the PDF to TIFF: For nPage = 1 To oGdViewer.PageCount oGdViewer.DisplayFrame (nPage) If nPage = 1 Then oImaging.SetNativeImage (oImaging.CreateClonedImage(oGdViewer.GetNativeImage)) Call oImaging.SetHorizontalResolution(PDFDPI) Call oImaging.Set...

Hey Senior:

Glad that helped.

My suggestion would be to first scan the entire document as a TIFF file. Then open the multipage TIFF for editing and loop through each page stamping each page in the loop.

When the loop is finished then save the modified TIFF as a PDF file.

Hi Senior: I had a need to do something very similar, recently. The method I used was a three step process. 1. Create a new blank image: Here you use the CreateNewImage method. The size properties would be the same as the original image plus the height and width needed to display your new text or ba...

Hi Varcarme: Actually you are going to reduce the colour depth of the TIFF Native Image. You will need to do this for each page of the image. Let's say you want to reduce each page to 16 colours (4bitperpixel) which is usually a good trade off for documents that are largely text with few colours. In...

Hi Varcarme: Remember, once you've converted the file to TIFF or back to PDF your pages are now basically image files. The result is these will almost always be significantly larger than native PDF files. The only real way to control the size that I found would be the colour depth of the image page....

That's great, Loic. Many thanks!

Good Morning Loic: I notice that with the latest version of GdPicture you can scroll pages of a multiple page image using the scroll bar and mouse wheel. This is terrific! Thank you for adding that feature. There are times when I would like the user to be able to only scroll to the top and bottom of...

Hi Loic: I've run into the problem of losing the mousewheel function (scroll or zoom) in VB6. This happens when you call another form with a gdviewer or gdviewercnt control and then unload that form with a keypress or keyup or keydown event. You can duplicate the problem in your global demo sample c...

Hi Leo: I had need for a similar technique. The way I ended up doing it was to create a temporary area imaging object using the clone image array function, (ImagingTemp.CreateClonedImageArea (nimageID, nSrcLeft, nSrcTop, nWidth, nHeight)). 1. Create the temporary image using the ROI properties. 2. P...

Thank you, Loic. I appreciate that.

Hi Loic: I've been working with the gif animation features you added. They are great! Thank you for adding them so quickly. There is one gif animated feature that is missing. This is the "Undraw Method" also called the "Remove Method". This setting tells the browser how to dispos...

Hi Loic: Thanks for the info. That makes sense regarding the 32bpp for working on images. Regarding EXIF... gif89a format can contain a comment block. I thought this may be a user comment exif tag and it must be pretty close. I loaded your gateau.gif file and then wrote a comment block using an old ...

Hi Loic: A couple of things with animated GIF files: 1. The GetPixelFormatString returns 32bpp for animated GIF''s even though they are 8bpp. A single GIF image does return the correct format it is only with animated GIF's. You can see this by loading any of your animated GIF's in your global demo p...

Hi Loic:

WOW! As always, your response is terrific. I'm looking forward to the next release.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi Loic:

I know we can display animated gif images... any chance you can add the ability to create, edit and save image pages/frames (like you can with tiff files) to an animated gif file?

Thanks, Loic!

Best regards,

Tom
