Images

DynamicPDF™ Generator for COM/ActiveX has support for 9 image types and transparent images. It can read images from a file, Byte Array. This section explains how to use images in a document.

Images can be added to a page using the Image Page Element or the BackgroundImage Page Element:

[VBScript]
' Adds a background image and image to a page.
MyPage.AddBackgroundImage Server.MapPath( "Images/ceTeSoftware_top.gif" )
MyPage.AddImage Server.MapPath( "Images/ceTeSoftware_top.gif" ), 0, 0

NOTE: The examples in this topic show how to add an image when it is not going to be reused multiple times. For details on how to most efficiently handle images that will be used multiple times, see the Image Reuse topic.

Adding Images From A File

Images can be created from a file as follows:

[VBScript]
' Adds an image to a page.
MyPage.AddImage Server.MapPath( "Images/ceTeSoftware_top.gif" ), 0, 0

Adding Images From A Byte Array

Images can be created from a byte array as follows:

[ASP - VBScript]
<!-- METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="{DF9225FE-94A4-490D-8CAD-E8366CE621D3}"-->
<%
    ' Adds an image from a byte array.
    Dim MyDocument
    Set MyDocument = Server.CreateObject( "DynamicPDF.Document" )
    Dim MyStream
    Set MyStream = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Stream" )
    MyStream.Open
    MyStream.Type = 1
    MyStream.LoadFromFile( Server.MapPath( "Images/ceTeSoftware_top.gif" ) )
    Dim strMyPath
    MyFilePath = MyDocument.AddRawImageData( "Home.jpg", MyStream.Read )
    MyStream.Close
    Set MyStream = Nothing
    Dim MyPage
    Set MyPage = MyDocument.AddPage()
    ' Scale value is 24
    Set MyImage = MyPage.AddImage( MyFilePath, 20, 100,75 )
    MyDocument.DrawToWeb
    Set MyPage = Nothing
    Set MyDocument = Nothing
%>

The Variable MyFilePath can be used as FilePath parameter in Page AddImage method.
