Add image to PDF File with "DAOpenFile"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hi,

Delphi : I access a PDF file with "DAOpenFile" . I want to add an image to this PDF file then save it with another name with "DASaveAsFile". I wrote the following code but it creates a PDF file with an empty page with the image. 
Here is my code:

var
  QuickPDF: TDebenuPDFLibrary;
  FileHandle  : Integer;
begin
try
  QuickPDF := TDebenuPDFLibrary.Create ;
  QuickPDF.UnlockKey(edtLicenseKey.Text)    ;
 FileHandle := QuickPDF.DAOpenFile('D:\MyPDF_file.pdf', '');

 QuickPDF.AddImageFromFile('D:\Myimage.png',2);

 QuickPDF.DrawImage(380, 200, 120, 120);

QuickPDF.DASaveAsFile( FileHandle , 'D:\PDF_With_image.pdf' );

  finally
    QuickPDF.Free;
  end;

//---------------------

how to do please?
thanks

	Hi Amelie :) Don't mix ... NEVER mix DA-functions with non-DA-functions - This won't work. Take the normal open- and the normal save-function and it will work as expected. Cheers, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 02 Jun 23 at 9:23PM

	Hi Ingo, thank you for help. I have a big file of 600mb, when I open it with ''LoadFromFile'', my application consumes a lot of resources, but, if I open this file with 'DAOpenFile', there is no consumption of resources. - if I use 'DAOpenFile' + 'SaveToFile', the application creates an empty page with the image. - if I use 'LoadFromFile' + 'SaveToFile', it's ok, but a lot of memory consumption. How to solve this problem please? THANKS Edited by Amelie - 03 Jun 23 at 7:39AM

	There's nothing to solve ;-) Don't mix DA- with non-DA-functions. Try the "normal" functions and do a complete refresh after the call.
	Cheers, Ingo

	Provided that your program does not crash on 'out of memory', there should be no problem with using the 'non-DA' functions, other that it being slower to process your very large file. If the other parts of your program give it a very big memory requirement, and the process memory exceeds 2GB, then you can try increasing this by adding {$SETPEFLAGS IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE} immediately above the 'begin' in your Delphi DPR file. Or of course you could also build it as a 64-bit process, which might also speed it up a little.
