AddImageFromGdPictureImage(Int32,PdfAdvancedImageCompression) Method
                In This Topic
            
            Adds an image resource, specified by its unique image identifier, and then subsequently draws this image onto a newly created page within the currently loaded PDF document. You can obtain this identifier, for example, using methods of the 
GdPictureImaging class when you create the image resource using an object of the type GdPictureImage. You can also specify an advanced compression mechanism such as color detection or mixed raster content (MRC) compression when drawing an image. The dimensions of the newly added page are the same as the original dimensions of the inserted image and the page is inserted as the last page in the document.
Syntax
            
        
            Parameters
- ImageID
- The unique image identifier of the GdPictureImage object representing the required image. You need to add the image resource into the currently loaded PDF document, for example, using methods of the GdPictureImaging class, whose returned value is the unique image identifier.
- AvancedCompression
- A member of the PdfAdvancedImageCompression enumeration. Specifies the advanced compression mechanism.
Return Value
A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. 
We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
