Extracting Image

Extracting images from a PDF document can be useful in many cases. With Aspose.PDF for .NET, you can extract images easily using the following source code:

Step 1: Import required libraries

Before you begin, you need to import the necessary libraries for your C# project. Here are the necessary import directives:

using Aspose.Pdf;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

Step 2: Set path to documents folder

In this step, you need to specify the path to the folder containing the PDF file from which you want to extract the image. Replace "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY" in the following code with the actual path to your documents folder:

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
string input = dataDir + @"ExtractingImage.pdf";

Step 3: Extract image from PDF document

Now we will extract the image from the PDF document using the following code:

using (Document pdfDocument = new Document(input))
{
foreach(Field field in pdfDocument.Form)
{
SignatureField sf = field as SignatureField;
if (sf != null)
{
string outFile = dataDir + @"output_out.jpg";
using (Stream imageStream = sf.ExtractImage())
{
if (imageStream != null)
{
using (Image image = Bitmap.FromStream(imageStream))
{
image.Save(outFile, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
}
}
}
}
}

In this example, we loop through each field of the form in the PDF document. If a signature field is found, we extract the associated image and save it to a JPEG file.

Sample source code for Extracting Image using Aspose.PDF for .NET

// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
string input = dataDir+ @"ExtractingImage.pdf";
using (Document pdfDocument = new Document(input))
{
	foreach (Field field in pdfDocument.Form)
	{
		SignatureField sf = field as SignatureField;
		if (sf != null)
		{
			string outFile = dataDir+ @"output_out.jpg";
			using (Stream imageStream = sf.ExtractImage())
			{
				if (imageStream != null)
				{
					using (System.Drawing.Image image = Bitmap.FromStream(imageStream))
					{
						image.Save(outFile, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
