When the resolution of a source image is significantly lower than that of the output device, each source sample covers many device pixels. As a result, images can appear jaggy or blocky. These visual artifacts can be reduced by applying an image interpolation algorithm during rendering. Instead of painting all pixels covered by a source sample with the same color, image interpolation attempts to produce a smooth transition between adjacent sample values.
A conforming Reader may choose to not implement this feature of PDF, or may use any specific implementation of interpolation that it wishes.
The default value is false .
Interpolation flag is prohibited by PDF/A compliance. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A.
Examples:
Shows how to perform interpolation on images while saving a document to PDF.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png"));
builder.insertImage(img);
// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
// Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "true" to get the reader that opens this document to interpolate images.
// Their resolution should be lower than that of the device that is displaying the document.
// Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "false" to make it so that the reader does not apply any interpolation.
saveOptions.setInterpolateImages(interpolateImages);
// When we open this document with a reader such as Adobe Acrobat, we will need to zoom in on the image
// to see the interpolation effect if we saved the document with it enabled.
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.InterpolateImages.pdf", saveOptions);
Returns: boolean - The corresponding boolean value.
getJpegQuality()
public int getJpegQuality()
Gets a value determining the quality of the JPEG images inside PDF document.
Remarks:
The default value is 100.
This property is used in conjunction with the getImageCompression() / setImageCompression(int) option.
Has effect only when a document contains JPEG images.
Use this property to get or set the quality of the images inside a document when saving in PDF format. The value may vary from 0 to 100 where 0 means worst quality but maximum compression and 100 means best quality but minimum compression.

// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
// Since our document contains a custom font, embedding in the output document may be desirable.
// Set the "EmbedFullFonts" property to "true" to embed every glyph of every embedded font in the output PDF.
// The document's size may become very large, but we will have full use of all fonts if we edit the PDF.
// Set the "EmbedFullFonts" property to "false" to apply subsetting to fonts, saving only the glyphs
// that the document is using. The file will be considerably smaller,
// but we may need access to any custom fonts if we edit the document.
options.setEmbedFullFonts(embedFullFonts);
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts.pdf", options);
if (embedFullFonts)
Assert.assertTrue(new File(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts.pdf").length() < 571000);

The default value is PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.AUTO.
If PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK value is specified, getImageCompression() / setImageCompression(int) option is ignored and Flate compression is used for all images in the document.
PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK value is not supported when saving to PDF/A. PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.AUTO value will be used instead.
Examples:
Shows how to set a different color space for images in a document as we export it to PDF.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Jpeg image:");
builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
builder.insertParagraph();
builder.writeln("Png image:");
builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");
// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
// Set the "ImageColorSpaceExportMode" property to "PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.Auto" to get Aspose.Words to
// automatically select the color space for images in the document that it converts to PDF.
// In most cases, the color space will be RGB.
// Set the "ImageColorSpaceExportMode" property to "PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SimpleCmyk"
// to use the CMYK color space for all images in the saved PDF.
// Aspose.Words will also apply Flate compression to all images and ignore the "ImageCompression" property's value.
pdfSaveOptions.setImageColorSpaceExportMode(pdfImageColorSpaceExportMode);
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageColorSpaceExportMode.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | int | The corresponding int value. The value must be one of PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode constants. |
setImageCompression(int value)
public void setImageCompression(int value)
Specifies compression type to be used for all images in the document.
Remarks:
Default is PdfImageCompression.AUTO.
Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG lets you control the quality of images in the output document through the getJpegQuality() / setJpegQuality(int) property.
Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG provides the fastest conversion speed when compared to the performance of other compression types, but in this case, there is lossy JPEG compression.
Using PdfImageCompression.AUTO lets to control the quality of Jpeg in the output document through the getJpegQuality() / setJpegQuality(int) property, but for other formats, raw pixel data is extracted and saved with Flate compression. This case is slower than Jpeg conversion but lossless.
Examples:
Shows how to specify a compression type for all images in a document that we are converting to PDF.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Jpeg image:");
builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
builder.insertParagraph();
builder.writeln("Png image:");
builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");
// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
// Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Auto" to use the
// "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of the Jpeg images that end up in the output PDF.
// Set the "ImageCompression" property to "PdfImageCompression.Jpeg" to use the
// "ImageCompression" property to control the quality of all images that end up in the output PDF.
pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(pdfImageCompression);
// Set the "JpegQuality" property to "10" to strengthen compression at the cost of image quality.
pdfSaveOptions.setJpegQuality(10);
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | int | The corresponding int value. The value must be one of PdfImageCompression constants. |
setImlRenderingMode(int value)
public void setImlRenderingMode(int value)
Sets a value determining how ink (InkML) objects are rendered.
Remarks:
The default value is ImlRenderingMode.INK_ML.
This property is used when the document is exported to fixed page formats.
Examples:
Shows how to render Ink object.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Ink object.docx");
// Set 'ImlRenderingMode.InkML' ignores fall-back shape of ink (InkML) object and renders InkML itself.
// If the rendering result is unsatisfactory,
// please use 'ImlRenderingMode.Fallback' to get a result similar to previous versions.
ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.JPEG);
{
saveOptions.setImlRenderingMode(ImlRenderingMode.INK_ML);
}
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "ImageSaveOptions.RenderInkObject.jpeg", saveOptions);
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | int | A value determining how ink (InkML) objects are rendered. The value must be one of ImlRenderingMode constants. |
setInterpolateImages(boolean value)
public void setInterpolateImages(boolean value)
A flag indicating whether image interpolation shall be performed by a conforming reader. When false is specified, the flag is not written to the output document and the default behaviour of reader is used instead.
Remarks:
When the resolution of a source image is significantly lower than that of the output device, each source sample covers many device pixels. As a result, images can appear jaggy or blocky. These visual artifacts can be reduced by applying an image interpolation algorithm during rendering. Instead of painting all pixels covered by a source sample with the same color, image interpolation attempts to produce a smooth transition between adjacent sample values.
A conforming Reader may choose to not implement this feature of PDF, or may use any specific implementation of interpolation that it wishes.
The default value is false .
Interpolation flag is prohibited by PDF/A compliance. false value will be used automatically when saving to PDF/A.
Examples:
Shows how to perform interpolation on images while saving a document to PDF.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png"));
builder.insertImage(img);
// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
// Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "true" to get the reader that opens this document to interpolate images.
// Their resolution should be lower than that of the device that is displaying the document.
// Set the "InterpolateImages" property to "false" to make it so that the reader does not apply any interpolation.
saveOptions.setInterpolateImages(interpolateImages);
// When we open this document with a reader such as Adobe Acrobat, we will need to zoom in on the image
// to see the interpolation effect if we saved the document with it enabled.
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.InterpolateImages.pdf", saveOptions);
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | boolean | The corresponding boolean value. |
setJpegQuality(int value)
public void setJpegQuality(int value)
Sets a value determining the quality of the JPEG images inside PDF document.
Remarks:
