Core API SDK

Hello, I'm trying to use Core API SDK to substitute code of PDFXChange SDK.
I can’t realize on how to place an EMF image (HENHMETAFILE) ( Actually, any image )
on to the PDF page. This aspect is not covered in the only sample which is provided in the setup.

I found the “IPXC_Document::AddImageFromStream”, which looks to be the substitution of the v4 PDFXChange SDK , and I found the “IPXC::ContentCreator::PlaceImage”,
Questions:
1. PlaceImage does not allow me to specify X,Y , WIDTH, HEIGHT for the placing image. How can I do this?
2. Can I add HENHMETAFILE instead of converting the image too stream?
Thanks in advance,

Yury

Hi Yury,

I or my colleagues will prepare a sample code and will post it here soon.

Here is code to load an image from the file and place it on the page. I broke it on several functions that can be used in different situations:

Code: Select all

HRESULT PlaceImage(IPXC_ContentCreator* pCC, IPXC_Image* pImg, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	PXC_Matrix im = {0};
	im.a = rc.right - rc.left;
	im.d = rc.top - rc.bottom;
	im.e = rc.lef;
	im.f = rc.bottom;
	
	pCC->SaveState();
	pCC->ConcatCS(&im);
	pCC->PlaceImage(pNewImage);
	pCC->RestoreState();
	
	return S_OK;
}

HRESULT PlaceImage(IPXC_Page* page, IPXC_Image* pImage, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	HRESULT hr = S_OK;

	CComPtr<IPXC_Document> pRDoc;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Content> pContent;
	CComPtr<IPXC_ContentCreator> pCC;

	page->get_Doc(&pRDoc);
	page->GetContent(CAccessMode_WeakClone, &pContent);

	pRDoc->CreateContentCreator(&pCC);
	pCC->Attach(pContent);
	PlaceImage(pCC, pImage, rc);

	page->PlaceContent(pContent, PlaceContent_Replace);
	
	return hr;
} 

HRESULT PlaceImage(IPXC_Document* pRDoc, DWORD nPageIdx, LPCWSTR sImageFileName, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	HRESULT hr = S_OK;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Pages> pages;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Page> page;
	pRDoc->get_Pages(&pages);
	pages->get_Item(nPageIdx, &page);


	CComPtr<IPXC_Image> pNewImage;
	hr = pRDoc->AddImageFromFile(sImageFileName, 0, 0, &pNewImage);
	if (FAILED(hr))
		return hr;

	return PlaceImage(page, pNewImage, rc);
}
With metafiles the code will be very similar, except that metafiles are loaded into IPXC_XForm object, not into IPXC_Image. Will post that code soon.

Placing XForm in content requires a bit of matrix arithmetic and in the current build of Core API, corresponding method are not published, so, I post some here:

Code: Select all

void Transform(const PXC_Matrix& m, double& x, double& y)
{
	double tx = x;
	x = tx * m.a + y * m.c + m.e;
	y = tx * m.b + y * m.d + m.f;
}

void UpdateMinMax(double v, double& vMin, double& vMax)
{
	if (vMin > v)
		vMin = v;
	if (vMax < v)
		vMax = v;
}

void TransformRect(const PXC_Matrix& m, double& l, double& b, double& r, double& t)
{
	double x = l;
	double y = b;
	Transform(m, x, y);
	double x1 = x;
	double x2 = x;
	double y1 = y;
	double y2 = y;
	x = l;
	y = t;
	Transform(m, x, y);
	UpdateMinMax(x, x1, x2);
	UpdateMinMax(y, y1, y2);
	x = r;
	y = t;
	Transform(m, x, y);
	UpdateMinMax(x, x1, x2);
	UpdateMinMax(y, y1, y2);
	x = r;
	y = b;
	Transform(m, x, y);
	UpdateMinMax(x, x1, x2);
	UpdateMinMax(y, y1, y2);
	l = x1;
	r = x2;
	b = y1;
	t = y2;
}

void TransformRect(const PXC_Matrix& m, PXC_Rect& r)
{
	TransformRect(m, r.left, r.bottom, r.right, r.top);
}

PXC_Matrix Rect2Rect(const PXC_Rect& from, const PXC_Rect& to)
{
	PXC_Matrix m = {0};
	m.a = m.d = 1;
	if ((to.right == to.left) || (to.top == to.bottom) ||
		(from.left == from.right) || (from.top == from.bottom))
	{
		m.a = m.d = 1.0;
	}
	else
	{
		m.a = (to.right - to.left) / (from.right - from.left);
		m.d = (to.top - to.bottom) / (from.top - from.bottom);
	}
	m.e = to.left - from.left * m.a;
	m.f = to.bottom - from.bottom * m.d;
	return m;
}
Now, here is the code to place HENHMETAFILE on a page:

Code: Select all

HRESULT PlaceXForm(IPXC_ContentCreator* pCC, IPXC_XForm* pXForm, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	PXC_Matrix im = {0};
	PXC_Matrix fm = {0};
	PXC_Rect bbox;
	pXForm->get_BBox(&bbox);
	pXForm->get_Matrix(&fm);
	
	TransformRect(fm, bbox);
	im = Rect2Rect(bbox, rc);
	
	pCC->SaveState();
	pCC->ConcatCS(&im);
	pCC->PlaceXForm(pXForm, L"");
	pCC->RestoreState();
	
	return S_OK;
}

HRESULT PlaceXForm(IPXC_Page* page, IPXC_XForm* pXForm, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	HRESULT hr = S_OK;

	CComPtr<IPXC_Document> pRDoc;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Content> pContent;
	CComPtr<IPXC_ContentCreator> pCC;

	page->get_Doc(&pRDoc);
	page->GetContent(CAccessMode_WeakClone, &pContent);

	pRDoc->CreateContentCreator(&pCC);
	pCC->Attach(pContent);
	PlaceXForm(pCC, pXForm, rc);

	page->PlaceContent(pContent, PlaceContent_Replace);
	
	return hr;
} 

HRESULT PlaceMetafile(IPXC_Document* pRDoc, DWORD nPageIdx, HENHMETAFILE hMeta, const PXC_Rect& rc)
{
	HRESULT hr = S_OK;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Pages> pages;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Page> page;
	pRDoc->get_Pages(&pages);
	pages->get_Item(nPageIdx, &page);


	CComPtr<IPXC_XForm> pXForm;
	hr = pRDoc->ConvertMetafile((HANDLE_T)hMeta, 0, nullptr, &pXForm);
	if (FAILED(hr))
		return hr;

	return PlaceXForm(page, pXForm, rc);
}
In new build IPXC_ContentCreator object has methods PlaceXFormEx and PlaceImageEx that has rect as parameter and hides all math.

Thanks Ivan. I could make EMF inserted. So I continue transfer from PDFX4 to CoreAPI and I have more questoins which I could not find in the documentation/sample/source

1. We used call like this : "PXC_AddGotoAction( pageOn->_page, &rcLink,IndexOf( pageTo->_page), Dest_Page, 0,0,0,0,&ai );" to place the link to the desired page.
In current implementation I could find something similar, but not sure on how to use it correctly

CComPtr< PXC::IPXC_ActionsList> pActions(0);
CComPtr< PXC::IPXC_Action> pAction(0);
page->get_Actions( PXC::PXC_TriggerType::Trigger_Unknown, &pActions );
PXC::PXC_Destination dst;
pActions->AddGoto( dst, &pAction );

So, page has a list of actions. I need just place the GoTo to another page. I'm not sure which PXC_TriggerType to use and how to specify the rectangle/path of the link.

2. we used PXC_AddOutlineEntryW method for creating the table of content at the left side. Where can I find the substitution and how to use it? I need place outlines for each page I create.

Thanks in advance.
Yury.

Hi, Yury.

If I understood you correctly, you need to create a Link annotation on the desired page which points to the entered page with GoTo action. And also, you want to use this GoTo action to create bookmark with it.

If you can wait for a little bit, I'll write you a code sample.

Here's the code on the Core level. If you need to use the undo/redo data you'll need to use operations for creating link annotations and bookmarks.

Code: Select all

	ULONG nLink = 0;
	pSInst->StrToAtom(L"Link", &nLink); //IPXS_Inst
	CComPtr<IPXC_Annotation> pAnnot;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Page> pPage;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Pages> pPages;
	CComPtr<IPXC_ActionsList> pAList;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Action> pAction;
	HRESULT hr = S_OK;
	do
	{
		hr = pDoc->get_Pages(&pPages); //IPXC_Document
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		hr = pPages->get_Item(0, &pPage);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		//Link rectangle parameters
		PXC_Rect rcBoundRect;
		rcBoundRect.left = 0;
		rcBoundRect.bottom = 0;
		rcBoundRect.right = 100;
		rcBoundRect.top = 100;
		hr = pPage->InsertNewAnnot(nLink, &rcBoundRect, -1, &pAnnot);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		//Adding action to the link not to the page
		hr = pDoc->CreateActionsList(&pAList);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		PXC_Destination dest;
		dest.nPageNum = 1;
		dest.nNullFlags = 0xF;
		dest.nType = Dest_XYZ;
		hr = pAList->AddGoto(dest, &pAction);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		hr = pAnnot->put_Actions(Trigger_Up, pAList);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		
		//Now adding bookmark with same action list
		CComPtr<IPXC_Bookmark> pRoot;
		hr = pDoc->get_BookmarkRoot(&pRoot);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		CComPtr<IPXC_Bookmark> pBookm;
		hr = pRoot->AddNewChild(VARIANT_TRUE, &pBookm);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		hr = pBookm->put_Actions(pAList);
		if (hr != S_OK)
			break;
		
		pDoc->WriteToFile(L"D:\\YourNewFile.pdf");

	} while (false);

Sorry, Sasha, still not clear

I have 2 pages:

CComPtr<IPXC_Page> pPageOn;
CComPtr<IPXC_Page> pPageTo;

I have
PXC_Rect rcBoundRect on pPage1

How do I make a GoTo, so if I click on rcBoundRect in pPage1, it'd move me to pPage2.

IPXC_Document m_pDoc; // created

void AddGoToAction( CComPtr<IPXC_Page> pPageOn, CComPtr<IPXC_Page> pPageTo, PXC_Rect rcBoundRect )
{
/// ???? I need this implementation. Please help.
}

In your example, I'm not completely clear about this:
///////////////////////////////////////////////
ULONG nLink = 0;
pSInst->StrToAtom(L"Link", &nLink); //IPXS_Inst
hr = pPage->InsertNewAnnot(nLink, &rcBoundRect, -1, &pAnnot);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What is this nLink, and why is it for?


Thanks for quick unswers!

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

void AddGoToAction(IPXC_Page* pPageOn, IPXC_Page* pPageTo, PXC_Rect rcBoundRect)
{
	// step 1 - lets create new link annot on pPageOn
	ULONG_T nLinkAnnotType;
	g_COS->StrToAtom(L"Link", &nLinkAnnotType);		// g_COS - pointer to IPXS_Inst
	CComPtr<IPXC_Annotation> pNewAnnot;
	// add new annotation with type nLinkAnnotType and rect rcBoundRect at the end of page's annotation's list (-1)
	pPageOn->InsertNewAnnot(nLinkAnnotType, &rcBoundRect, -1 /* at the end */, &pNewAnnot);
	
	// step 2 - create an action list with goto action
	CComPtr<IPXC_ActionsList> aList;
	CComPtr<IPXC_Document> pDoc;
	pPageOn->get_Document(&pDoc);
	pDoc->CreateActionsList(&aList);
	// fill destination position for Goto action
	PXC_Destination dest = {0};
	// page number
	pPageTo->get_Number(&dest.nPageNum);
	// type;
	dest.nType = Dest_XYZ;		// goto to the point [X = dest.dValues[0]; Y = dest.dValues[1]] on page [dest.nPageNum] and Zoom dest.dValues[2]
	// position
	PXC_Rect pageRect;
	pPageTo->get_Box(PBox_CropBox, &pageRect);
	dest.dValues[0]				= pageRect.left;
	dest.dValues[1]				= pageRect.top;
	dest.dValues[2]				= 0;			// 0 means to keep zoom level unchanged; the same effect would be if bit 2 (zero based index) in field dest.nNullFlags set to 1
	aList->AddGoto(dest, nullptr);	// we don't need returned value
	// step 3 - set this action list to our link annotation
	pNewAnnot->put_Actions(Trigger_Up, aList);
}
Please note, if you don't use raw_only import, the code may be written in more 'clear' way:

Code: Select all

void AddGoToAction(IPXC_Page* pPageOn, IPXC_Page* pPageTo, PXC_Rect rcBoundRect)
{
   // step 1 - lets create new link annot on pPageOn
   IPXC_AnnotationPtr pNewAnnot = pPageOn->InsertNewAnnot(g_COS->StrToAtom(L"Link"), &rcBoundRect, -1);
   
   // step 2 - create an action list with goto action
   IPXC_ActionsListPtr aList = pPageOn->Document->CreateActionsList();
   // fill destination position for Goto action
   PXC_Destination dest = {0};
   // page number
   dest.nPageNum        = pPageTo->Number;
   // type;
   dest.nType           = Dest_XYZ;      // goto to the point [X = dest.dValues[0]; Y = dest.dValues[1]] on page [dest.nPageNum] and Zoom dest.dValues[2]
   // position
   PXC_Rect pageRect    = pPageTo->BBox;
   dest.dValues[0]      = pageRect.left;
   dest.dValues[1]      = pageRect.top;
   dest.dValues[2]      = 0;         // 0 means to keep zoom level unchanged; the same effect would be if bit 2 (zero based index) in field dest.nNullFlags set to 1
   aList->AddGoto(dest);
   // step 3 - set this action list to our link annotation
   pNewAnnot->Actions[Trigger_Up] = aList;
}
but you have to handle exceptions.

Hi, looks like working...

Quick question:
Annotations. How can I get read of border around it?
I tried several ways, but they not working... This is what I was trying to do, still think black rectangle around it:
CComPtr<PXC::IPXC_Annotation> pNewAnnot;
// add new annotation with type nLinkAnnotType and rect rcBoundRect at the end of page's annotation's list (-1)
m_hLastError = pPageOn->InsertNewAnnot(nLinkAnnotType, &rcBoundRect, -1 /* at the end */, &pNewAnnot);
if (IS_DS_FAILED(m_hLastError))
return false;

CComPtr< PXC::IPXC_AnnotData> data;
PXC::PXC_AnnotBorder border;
pNewAnnot->get_Data( &data );
data->get_Border(&border);
memset( (void*)&border, 0, sizeof( PXC::PXC_AnnotBorder ) );
data->put_Border( &border );
double opacity;
data->get_Opacity(&opacity);
data->put_Opacity( 0.0 );

OK. great. everything is working...

More questions:

1. I was using PXC_AddLink( (_PXCContent*)(pageItem->_page), &rc, (LPCSTR)str.c_str() , NULL ); to output the external URLs like http://someweb.com/s/d/
What is the substitution method for this? I could not find.
2. There were the document optimization APIs
m_hLastError = PXCp_ReadDocumentW( hDocument, strPath.c_str(), 0 );
m_hLastError = PXCp_OptimizeFonts( hDocument, 0 );
m_hLastError = PXCp_OptimizeStreamCompression( hDocument );
m_hLastError = PXCp_WriteDocumentW( hDocument, strPath.c_str(), PXCp_CreationDisposition_Overwrite, PXCp_Write_Release);

Are there any substs?

Thank you!

The code is very similar to one above that adds GoTo link. The only difference is in the action associated with created link annotation.

Code: Select all

void AddLinkAction(IPXC_Page* pPageOn, PXC_Rect rcBoundRect, LPCWSTR sURL)
{
   // step 1 - lets create new link annot on pPageOn
   ULONG_T nLinkAnnotType;
   g_COS->StrToAtom(L"Link", &nLinkAnnotType);      // g_COS - pointer to IPXS_Inst
   CComPtr<IPXC_Annotation> pNewAnnot;
   // add new annotation with type nLinkAnnotType and rect rcBoundRect at the end of page's annotation's list (-1)
   pPageOn->InsertNewAnnot(nLinkAnnotType, &rcBoundRect, -1 /* at the end */, &pNewAnnot);
   
   // step 2 - create an action list with goto action
   CComPtr<IPXC_ActionsList> aList;
   CComPtr<IPXC_Document> pDoc;
   pPageOn->get_Document(&pDoc);
   pDoc->CreateActionsList(&aList);
   // fill destination position for Goto action
   aList->AddURI((BSTR)sURL, nullptr);
   // step 3 - set this action list to our link annotation
   pNewAnnot->put_Actions(Trigger_Up, aList);
}
2. There were the document optimization APIs.
Currently optimization is available only in Editor SDK. Replacement for old PXCp_OptimizeXXX function will be added in future builds of the Core API.

Ok. thank you.
We looks have issue with the Arabic text in EMF insertion.
See the attached archive.

File arabic.txt contains the original arabic text.
The PDFs are produced from the EMF & from BITMAP of the same output image.
Look, that text in the EMF version is different from what is in Bitmap & Original text.

Could you please let me know if your EMF parser correctly works with the Arbic texts?

Thank you!

m_hLastError = PlaceMetafile( pageItem, hEnhMetaFile, rcPxc );

Hi Yury,

It was Thanksgiving in Canada yesterday, so Ivan was not in the office. I will ask him to take a look again today when he comes to work (it's still 5:17 AM where he is) and post back if he has any further comments.

And I've actually spoken with a colleague from the European office - and they've suggested that we will probably also need the emf file tot est - as this could be file specific.

Hello Yury,

1) This should be already implemented in the 317.1 version.
2) The PXCp_OptimizeFonts and PXCp_OptimizeStreamCompression methods' analogy is not yet available.

Hello, seems I have another issue. Could you please research and let me know what to do with the following:

I have one machine ( screen resolution is 1920x108) at my office and I connect to it from home machine using the Remote Desktop. Home machine has 2500x1400 (QHD) resolution.
I do PDF publishing from our product, and have the resulted pdf name "Chart 1-2500x1400.pdf".
Then I disconnect RD connection and reconnect from another machine (home notebook), which has screen resolution 1920x1080.
I do same publish ( even not restarting our program) and have result named "Chart 1-1920x1080.pdf".

In both cases PDF page has one EMF image inserted. The bounds of the image are marked with blue rectangle.
You see that for the first image is scaled and shifted.

I did debugging with both cases ( when connected with 2500x1400 and 1920x1080 machines). And I didn't find any bugs in my code. For both case I'm adding the PDF page of the same size and I'm placing the same sized EMF image on to the same rectangle.
See the "Result.pdf". Unfortunately I could not attach excel or ms word file, so, I converted to pdf.
Left most column describes operations : Adding page & inserting image. columns "2500x1400" & "1920x108" reflects the parameters.

So the question is: why under the 2500x1400 connection the resulted PDF looks so different? I'll provide all the necessary information to resolve this.
This is rather critical for us.

Best regards,
Yury

Is it crucial to use the EMF file types? If that cannot be avoided please provide the sample files that we can investigate with.

Cheers,
Alex

Try this, however, I'm not sure that MS allows save metafile on to the HD properly.
This operation is prohibited in GDI+. I used workaround and just saved memory stream
(rename pdf ext to emf. looks this is the only extension which is allowed to attach)

Hi Yuri.
We need emf files for both cases.
And you can attach any type of file to post if you archive it using zip/rar/7z format.

Hi Yury,

Thanks for the files. I will check what can I do here, but as I see most applications having issue with that 2500 file.
For example, it is screenshots of EMF Parser application with these two files opened:

On the other hand, MS Paint shows it correctly, but I'm afraid it is because these files contains GDI+ version of the metafile which we cannot handle as it is absolutely undocumented.

Hello, any updates? May be we could use some workaround?
Also, here is emf parser ( source code ), which seems parses it correctly.

Actually it does not render this file correctly. Just download their .exe and open two of your files - "output-2500.emf" causes problems.

Well, yes, I see it now.
However, these parsers are rather old. The one which you show on the screenshot - EMFParser.exe looks dated 2006 year. Right?

I'm not specialist in EMF structure, but this parser does not even distinguish EMR_HEADER Record Types
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230635.aspx

You mentioned that GDI+ EMF is not documented.
Here is what I found:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230514.aspx

Isn't it what you need?

Is it possible to fix the sizing with this? We also had the texture issue early. Does this doc describe it?

Regards,
