SetCompressionForColorImage Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Sets the scheme to be used to compress color image data within the currently loaded PDF document. The default value is PdfCompression.PdfCompressionJPEG.

Please note that firstly you need to create or load the PDF document to allow this setting to work properly. Secondly, you need to set the compression scheme before adding the required image to the current document.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
Delphi
JScript
Managed Extensions for C++
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Sub SetCompressionForColorImage( _
   ByVal Compression As PdfCompression _
)

public void SetCompressionForColorImage( 
   PdfCompression Compression
)

public procedure SetCompressionForColorImage( 
    Compression: PdfCompression
);

public function SetCompressionForColorImage( 
   Compression : PdfCompression
);

public: void SetCompressionForColorImage( 
   PdfCompression Compression
)

public:
void SetCompressionForColorImage( 
   PdfCompression Compression
)

Parameters

Compression: A member of the PdfCompression enumeration. The new compression scheme to be used.

Remarks

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any. Please ensure that you have successfully created or loaded a PDF document, otherwise the method does nothing.

Be aware that if you select the PdfCompression.PdfCompressionCCITT4 or PdfCompression.PdfCompressionJBIG2, the deflate compression will be used instead.
