How to add an image to a pdf file using PDFClown

Question

I use the PDFClown.jar library to convert jpeg images to pdf files. However, I get the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.EOFException

Here you will find the code:

org.pdfclown.documents.contents.entities.Image image = org.pdfclown.documents.contents.entities.Image.get("c:" + java.io.File.separator + "bg.jpg"); org.pdfclown.documents.contents.xObjects.XObject imageXObject = image.toXObject(document); composer.showXObject(imageXObject); composer.flush(); document.getFile().save("c:\\test.pdf" , SerializationModeEnum.Standard); 

Please let me know what is wrong?

Answer 1

I just tried to reproduce your problem:

 public void testAddPicture() throws IOException { org.pdfclown.files.File file = new org.pdfclown.files.File(); Page page = new Page(file.getDocument()); file.getDocument().getPages().add(page); PrimitiveComposer primitiveComposer = new PrimitiveComposer(page); Image image = Image.get("src\\test\\resources\\mkl\\testarea\\pdfclown0\\content\\Willi-1.jpg"); XObject imageXObject = image.toXObject(file.getDocument()); primitiveComposer.showXObject(imageXObject, new Point2D.Double(100,100), new Dimension(300, 300)); primitiveComposer.flush(); file.save(new File(RESULT_FOLDER, "PdfWithImage.pdf"), SerializationModeEnum.Standard); file.close(); } 

( ShowImage.java )

I am not getting an EOFException , instead the result looks as expected:

So the problem seems to be related to your JPG file, its contents are probably broken or outside of PdfClown JPG support, or it could be a file system permissions issue.
