How to extract all pages and attachments from PDF to PNG

I am trying to create a process in .NET to convert a PDF and all it's pages + attachments to PNGs. I am evaluating libraries and came across PDFiumSharp but it is not working for me. Here is my code:
string Inputfile = "input.pdf";
string OutputFolder = "Output";
string fileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Inputfile);
using (PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(Inputfile))
{
for (int i = 0; i < doc.Pages.Count; i++)
{
var page = doc.Pages[i];
using (var bitmap = new PDFiumBitmap((int)page.Width, (int)page.Height, false))
{
page.Render(bitmap);
var targetFile = Path.Combine(OutputFolder, fileName + "_" + i + ".png");
bitmap.Save(targetFile);
}
}
}
When I run this code, I get this exception:
screenshot of exception
Does anyone know how to fix this? Also does PDFiumSharp support extracting PDF attachments? If not, does anyone have any other ideas on how to achieve my goal?

PDFium does not look like it supports extracting PDF attachments. If you want to achieve your goal, then you can take a look at another library that supports both extracting PDF attachments as well as converting PDFs to PNGs.
I am an employee of the LEADTOOLS PDF SDK which you can try out via these 2 nuget packages:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Leadtools.Pdf/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Leadtools.Document.Sdk/
Here is some code that will convert a PDF + all attachments in the PDF to separate PNGs in an output directory:
SetLicense();
cache = new FileCache { CacheDirectory = "cache" };
List<LEADDocument> documents = new List<LEADDocument>();
if (!Directory.Exists(OutputDir))
Directory.CreateDirectory(OutputDir);
using var document = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile("attachments.pdf", new LoadDocumentOptions { Cache = cache, LoadAttachmentsMode = DocumentLoadAttachmentsMode.AsAttachments });
if (document.Pages.Count > 0)
documents.Add(document);
foreach (var attachment in document.Attachments)
documents.Add(document.LoadDocumentAttachment(new LoadAttachmentOptions { AttachmentNumber = attachment.AttachmentNumber }));
ConvertDocuments(documents, RasterImageFormat.Png);
And the ConvertDocuments method:
static void ConvertDocuments(IEnumerable<LEADDocument> documents, RasterImageFormat imageFormat)
{
using var converter = new DocumentConverter();
using var ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD);
ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, null);
converter.SetOcrEngineInstance(ocrEngine, false);
converter.SetDocumentWriterInstance(new DocumentWriter());
foreach (var document in documents)
{
var name = string.IsNullOrEmpty(document.Name) ? "Attachment" : document.Name;
string outputFile = Path.Combine(OutputDir, $"{name}.{RasterCodecs.GetExtension(imageFormat)}");
int count = 1;
while (File.Exists(outputFile))
outputFile = Path.Combine(OutputDir, $"{name}({count++}).{RasterCodecs.GetExtension(imageFormat)}");
var jobData = new DocumentConverterJobData
{
Document = document,
Cache = cache,
DocumentFormat = DocumentFormat.User,
RasterImageFormat = imageFormat,
RasterImageBitsPerPixel = 0,
OutputDocumentFileName = outputFile,
};
var job = converter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData);
converter.Jobs.RunJob(job);
}
}

Extract Image and its name from pdf using iTextSharp

I am using iTextSharp c# to extract images and its name from catalog pdf. I Am able to extract images from pdf, but struggling with extracting its corresponding image name as per the attached screenshot and save the file with that name. Please find the code below and let me know your suggestions.
Sample PDF: https://docdro.id/PwBsNR9
Code:
private static List<System.Drawing.Image> ExtractImages(String PDFSourcePath)
{
List<System.Drawing.Image> ImgList = new List<System.Drawing.Image>();
iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray RAFObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader PDFReaderObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfObject PDFObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStream PDFStremObj = null;
try
{
RAFObj = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray(PDFSourcePath);
PDFReaderObj = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(RAFObj, null);
for (int i = 0; i <= PDFReaderObj.XrefSize - 1; i++)
{
PDFObj = PDFReaderObj.GetPdfObject(i);
if ((PDFObj != null) && PDFObj.IsStream())
{
PDFStremObj = (iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStream)PDFObj;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfObject subtype = PDFStremObj.Get(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfName.SUBTYPE);
if ((subtype != null) && subtype.ToString() == iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfName.IMAGE.ToString())
{
}
if ((subtype != null) && subtype.ToString() == iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfName.IMAGE.ToString())
{
try
{
iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.PdfImageObject PdfImageObj =
new iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.PdfImageObject((iTextSharp.text.pdf.PRStream)PDFStremObj);
System.Drawing.Image ImgPDF = PdfImageObj.GetDrawingImage();
ImgList.Add(ImgPDF);
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
}
}
PDFReaderObj.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Message);
}
return ImgList;
}

Unfortunately the example PDF is not tagged. Thus, one has to otherwise try and associate title text and image, either by analyzing the location in respect to each other or by exploiting a pattern in the content streams.
In the case at hand analyzing the location in respect to each other is feasible as the title always is (at least partially) drawn on the matching image or is the text right beneath it. Thus, one could in a first pass extract the text with position from a page and in a second one the images, at the same time looking for a title in the previously extracted text in the image area or right beneath. Alternatively one could first extract images with position and size and then extract the text in these areas.
But there also is a certain pattern in the content streams: The titel is always drawn in a single text drawing instruction right after the corresponding image is drawn. Thus, one can also go ahead and in one pass extract images and the next drawn text as associated title.
Either approach can be implemented using the iText parser API. For example in case of the latter approach as follows: first, one implements a render listener that behaves as described, i.e. saves images and the following text:
internal class ImageWithTitleRenderListener : IRenderListener
{
int imageNumber = 0;
String format;
bool expectingTitle = false;
public ImageWithTitleRenderListener(String format)
{
this.format = format;
}
public void BeginTextBlock()
{ }
public void EndTextBlock()
{ }
public void RenderText(TextRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
if (expectingTitle)
{
expectingTitle = false;
File.WriteAllText(string.Format(format, imageNumber, "txt"), renderInfo.GetText());
}
}
public void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
imageNumber++;
expectingTitle = true;
PdfImageObject imageObject = renderInfo.GetImage();
if (imageObject == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Image {0} could not be read.", imageNumber);
}
else
{
File.WriteAllBytes(string.Format(format, imageNumber, imageObject.GetFileType()), imageObject.GetImageAsBytes());
}
}
}
Then one parses the document pages using that render listener:
using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(#"EVERMOTION ARCHMODELS VOL.78.pdf"))
{
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);
ImageWithTitleRenderListener listener = new ImageWithTitleRenderListener(#"EVERMOTION ARCHMODELS VOL.78-{0:D3}.{1}");
for (var i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
parser.ProcessContent(i, listener);
}
}

I hope this would help.
I am doing this type of thing but if this would help.
// existing pdf path
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(path);
PRStream pst;
PdfImageObject pio;
PdfObject po;
// number of objects in pdf document
int n = reader.XrefSize;
//FileStream fs = null;
// set image file location
//String path = "E:/";
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
// get the object at the index i in the objects collection
po = reader.GetPdfObject(i);
// object not found so continue
if (po == null || !po.IsStream())
continue;
//cast object to stream
pst = (PRStream)po;
//get the object type
PdfObject type = pst.Get(PdfName.SUBTYPE);
//check if the object is the image type object
if (type != null && type.ToString().Equals(PdfName.IMAGE.ToString()))
{
//get the image
pio = new PdfImageObject(pst);
// fs = new FileStream(path + "image" + i + ".jpg", FileMode.Create);
//read bytes of image in to an array
byte[] imgdata = pio.GetImageAsBytes();
try
{
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(imgdata);
FileStream fs = stream as FileStream;
if (fs != null) Console.WriteLine(fs.Name);
}
catch
{
}
}
}
Now you can save your stream.
public void SaveStreamToFile(string fileFullPath, Stream stream)
{
if (stream.Length == 0) return;
// Create a FileStream object to write a stream to a file
using (FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.Create(fileFullPath, (int)stream.Length))
{
// Fill the bytes[] array with the stream data
byte[] bytesInStream = new byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(bytesInStream, 0, (int)bytesInStream.Length);
// Use FileStream object to write to the specified file
fileStream.Write(bytesInStream, 0, bytesInStream.Length);
}
}

Performance issue when using old iText for .NET version when splitting a huge PDF

My goal here is to split a huge PDF (over 1000 pages).
I tried the example below :
public void ExtractPages(string sourcePdfPath, string outputPdfPath,
int startPage, int endPage)
{
PdfReader reader = null;
Document sourceDocument = null;
PdfCopy pdfCopyProvider = null;
PdfImportedPage importedPage = null;
try
{
// Intialize a new PdfReader instance with the contents of the source Pdf file:
reader = new PdfReader(sourcePdfPath);
// For simplicity, I am assuming all the pages share the same size
// and rotation as the first page:
sourceDocument = new Document(reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(startPage));
// Initialize an instance of the PdfCopyClass with the source
// document and an output file stream:
pdfCopyProvider = new PdfCopy(sourceDocument,
new System.IO.FileStream(outputPdfPath, System.IO.FileMode.Create));
sourceDocument.Open();
// Walk the specified range and add the page copies to the output file:
for (int i = startPage; i <= endPage; i++)
{
importedPage = pdfCopyProvider.GetImportedPage(reader, i);
pdfCopyProvider.AddPage(importedPage);
}
sourceDocument.Close();
reader.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
It works but it takes more than 10 min.
My question here is there any way to skip the for loop and getting all the pages quickly ??

Read more than one file

I am writing a pdf to word converter which works perfectly fine for me. But I want to be able to convert more than one file.
What happens now is that it read the first file and does the convert process.
public static void PdfToImage()
{
try
{
Application application = null;
application = new Application();
var doc = application.Documents.Add();
string path = #"C:\Users\Test\Desktop\pdfToWord\";
foreach (string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, "*.pdf"))
{
using (var document = PdfiumViewer.PdfDocument.Load(file))
{
int pagecount = document.PageCount;
for (int index = 0; index < pagecount; index++)
{
var image = document.Render(index, 200, 200, true);
image.Save(#"C:\Users\chnikos\Desktop\pdfToWord\output" + index.ToString("000") + ".png", ImageFormat.Png);
application.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(#"C:\Users\chnikos\Desktop\pdfToWord\output" + index.ToString("000") + ".png");
}
string getFileName = file.Substring(file.LastIndexOf("\\"));
string getFileWithoutExtras = Regex.Replace(getFileName, #"\\", "");
string getFileWihtoutExtension = Regex.Replace(getFileWithoutExtras, #".pdf", "");
string fileName = #"C:\Users\Test\Desktop\pdfToWord\" + getFileWihtoutExtension;
doc.PageSetup.PaperSize = WdPaperSize.wdPaperA4;
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.InlineShape inline in doc.InlineShapes)
{
if (inline.Height > inline.Width)
{
inline.ScaleWidth = 250;
inline.ScaleHeight = 250;
}
}
doc.PageSetup.TopMargin = 28.29f;
doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin = 28.29f;
doc.PageSetup.RightMargin = 30.29f;
doc.PageSetup.BottomMargin = 28.29f;
application.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(fileName, WdSaveFormat.wdFormatDocument);
doc.Close();
}
}
I thought that with my foreach that problem should not occur. And yes there are more than one pdf in this folder

The line
var doc = application.Documents.Add();
is outside the foreach loop. So you only create a single word document for all your *.pdf files.
Move the above line inside the foreach loop to add a new word document for each *.pdf file.

Extract image from PDF using itextsharp

I am trying to extract all the images from a pdf using itextsharp but can't seem to overcome this one hurdle.
The error occures on the line System.Drawing.Image ImgPDF = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(MS); giving an error of "Parameter is not valid".
I think it works when the image is a bitmap but not of any other format.
I have this following code - sorry for the length;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(#"reader.pdf");
byte[] data = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(data, 0, (int)fs.Length);
List<System.Drawing.Image> ImgList = new List<System.Drawing.Image>();
iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray RAFObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader PDFReaderObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfObject PDFObj = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStream PDFStremObj = null;
try
{
RAFObj = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray(data);
PDFReaderObj = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(RAFObj, null);
for (int i = 0; i <= PDFReaderObj.XrefSize - 1; i++)
{
PDFObj = PDFReaderObj.GetPdfObject(i);
if ((PDFObj != null) && PDFObj.IsStream())
{
PDFStremObj = (iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStream)PDFObj;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfObject subtype = PDFStremObj.Get(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfName.SUBTYPE);
if ((subtype != null) && subtype.ToString() == iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfName.IMAGE.ToString())
{
byte[] bytes = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader.GetStreamBytesRaw((iTextSharp.text.pdf.PRStream)PDFStremObj);
if ((bytes != null))
{
try
{
System.IO.MemoryStream MS = new System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes);
MS.Position = 0;
System.Drawing.Image ImgPDF = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(MS);
ImgList.Add(ImgPDF);
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
}
}
}
PDFReaderObj.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Message);
}
} //Form1_Load

Resolved...
Even I got the same exception of "Parameter is not valid" and after so much of
work with the help of the link provided by der_chirurg
(http://kuujinbo.info/iTextSharp/CCITTFaxDecodeExtract.aspx ) I resolved it
and following is the code:
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser;
using Dotnet = System.Drawing.Image;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
namespace PDF_Parsing
{
partial class PDF_ImgExtraction
{
string imgPath;
private void ExtractImage(string pdfFile)
{
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(files[fileIndex]);
for (int pageNumber = 1; pageNumber <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; pageNumber++)
{
PdfReader pdf = new PdfReader(pdfFile);
PdfDictionary pg = pdf.GetPageN(pageNumber);
PdfDictionary res = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(pg.Get(PdfName.RESOURCES));
PdfDictionary xobj = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(res.Get(PdfName.XOBJECT));
foreach (PdfName name in xobj.Keys)
{
PdfObject obj = xobj.Get(name);
if (obj.IsIndirect())
{
PdfDictionary tg = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(obj);
string width = tg.Get(PdfName.WIDTH).ToString();
string height = tg.Get(PdfName.HEIGHT).ToString();
ImageRenderInfo imgRI = ImageRenderInfo.CreateForXObject(new Matrix(float.Parse(width), float.Parse(height)), (PRIndirectReference)obj, tg);
RenderImage(imgRI);
}
}
}
}
private void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
PdfImageObject image = renderInfo.GetImage();
using (Dotnet dotnetImg = image.GetDrawingImage())
{
if (dotnetImg != null)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
dotnetImg.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Tiff);
Bitmap d = new Bitmap(dotnetImg);
d.Save(imgPath);
}
}
}
}
}
}

You need to check the stream's /Filter to see what image format a given image uses. It may be a standard image format:
DCTDecode (jpeg)
JPXDecode (jpeg 2000)
JBIG2Decode (jbig is a B&W only format)
CCITTFaxDecode (fax format, PDF supports group 3 and 4)
Other than that, you'll need to get the raw bytes (as you are), and build an image using the image stream's width, height, bits per component, number of color components (could be CMYK, indexed, RGB, or Something Weird), and a few others, as defined in section 8.9 of the ISO PDF SPECIFICATION (available for free).
So in some cases your code will work, but in others, it'll fail with the exception you mentioned.
PS: When you have an exception, PLEASE include the stack trace every single time. Pretty please with sugar on top?

Works for me like this, using these two methods:
public static List<System.Drawing.Image> ExtractImagesFromPDF(byte[] bytes)
{
var imgs = new List<System.Drawing.Image>();
var pdf = new PdfReader(bytes);
try
{
for (int pageNumber = 1; pageNumber <= pdf.NumberOfPages; pageNumber++)
{
PdfDictionary pg = pdf.GetPageN(pageNumber);
List<PdfObject> objs = FindImageInPDFDictionary(pg);
foreach (var obj in objs)
{
if (obj != null)
{
int XrefIndex = Convert.ToInt32(((PRIndirectReference)obj).Number.ToString(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
PdfObject pdfObj = pdf.GetPdfObject(XrefIndex);
PdfStream pdfStrem = (PdfStream)pdfObj;
var pdfImage = new PdfImageObject((PRStream)pdfStrem);
var img = pdfImage.GetDrawingImage();
imgs.Add(img);
}
}
}
}
finally
{
pdf.Close();
}
return imgs;
}
private static List<PdfObject> FindImageInPDFDictionary(PdfDictionary pg)
{
var res = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(pg.Get(PdfName.RESOURCES));
var xobj = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(res.Get(PdfName.XOBJECT));
var pdfObgs = new List<PdfObject>();
if (xobj != null)
{
foreach (PdfName name in xobj.Keys)
{
PdfObject obj = xobj.Get(name);
if (obj.IsIndirect())
{
var tg = (PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(obj);
var type = (PdfName)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(tg.Get(PdfName.SUBTYPE));
if (PdfName.IMAGE.Equals(type)) // image at the root of the pdf
{
pdfObgs.Add(obj);
}
else if (PdfName.FORM.Equals(type)) // image inside a form
{
FindImageInPDFDictionary(tg).ForEach(o => pdfObgs.Add(o));
}
else if (PdfName.GROUP.Equals(type)) // image inside a group
{
FindImageInPDFDictionary(tg).ForEach(o => pdfObgs.Add(o));
}
}
}
}
return pdfObgs;
}

In newer version of iTextSharp, the 1st parameter of ImageRenderInfo.CreateForXObject is not Matrix anymore but GraphicsState. #der_chirurg's approach should work. I tested myself with the information from the following link and it worked beautifully:
http://www.thevalvepage.com/swmonkey/2014/11/26/extract-images-from-pdf-files-using-itextsharp/

To extract all Images on all Pages, it is not necessary to implement different filters. iTextSharp has an Image Renderer, which saves all Images in their original image type.
Just do the following found here: http://kuujinbo.info/iTextSharp/CCITTFaxDecodeExtract.aspx You don't need to implement HttpHandler...

I added library on github which, extract images in PDF and compress them.
Could be useful, when you are going to start play with very powerful library ITextSharp.
Here the link: https://github.com/rock-walker/PdfCompression

This works for me and I think it's a simple solution:
Write a custom RenderListener and implement its RenderImage method, something like this
public void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo info)
{
PdfImageObject image = info.GetImage();
Parser.Matrix matrix = info.GetImageCTM();
var fileType = image.GetFileType();
ImageFormat format;
switch (fileType)
{//you may add more types here
case "jpg":
case "jpeg":
format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;
break;
case "pnt":
format = ImageFormat.Png;
break;
case "bmp":
format = ImageFormat.Bmp;
break;
case "tiff":
format = ImageFormat.Tiff;
break;
case "gif":
format = ImageFormat.Gif;
break;
default:
format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;
break;
}
var pic = image.GetDrawingImage();
var x = matrix[Parser.Matrix.I31];
var y = matrix[Parser.Matrix.I32];
var width = matrix[Parser.Matrix.I11];
var height = matrix[Parser.Matrix.I22];
if (x < <some value> && y < <some value>)
{
return;//ignore these images
}
pic.Save(<path and name>, format);
}

I have used this library in the past without any problems.
