I follow ItextSharp example for getting a graphical structure, to get the rectangle coordinates, using code:
class VectorGraphicsListener : IExtRenderListener
{
public void ModifyPath(PathConstructionRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
if (renderInfo.Operation == PathConstructionRenderInfo.RECT)
{
float x = renderInfo.SegmentData[0];
float y = renderInfo.SegmentData[1];
float w = renderInfo.SegmentData[2];
float h = renderInfo.SegmentData[3];
...
I tried the renderInfo.GetFillColor();
but there is no such a method.
I want to get additional rectangle properties :
like rectangle fill color,( some analog to DIV style="background: blue; border:black;" tag in html)
how I get it ?
TextRenderInfo
has the method you are looking for for PathConstructionRenderInfo
does not.
Where did you get the example from? You are probably using a different version than the version documentation used.
This article explains what you need to do but it provides Java source code which should be pretty easy to port to C#: http://techqa.info/programming/question/41728853/how-to-extract-the-color-of-a-rectangle-in-a-pdf,-with-itext
To summarize the relevant portions, it uses GraphicsState
to get the fill color. To achieve this you will need parse all of the PDF's content with a PdfReaderContentParser
passing a derived ExtRenderListener
to the processContent
method as follows (taken from the Java Code above):
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(resource);
ExtRenderListener extRenderListener = new ExtRenderListener();
for (int page = 1; page <= pdfReader.getNumberOfPages(); page++)
{
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(pdfReader);
parser.processContent(page, extRenderListener);
}
The ExtRenderListener will need to override renderPath:
public override Path renderPath(PathPaintingRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
Field gsField = PathPaintingRenderInfo.class.getDeclaredField("gs");
gsField.setAccessible(true);
GraphicsState graphicsState = (GraphicsState) gsField.get(renderInfo);
if ((renderInfo.getOperation() & PathPaintingRenderInfo.FILL) != 0)
{
var fillColor = graphicsState.getFillColor();
bool filledRect= false;
for (PathConstructionRenderInfo pathConstructionRenderInfo in pathInfos)
{
if(pathConstructionRenderInfo.getOperation()==PathConstructionRenderInfo.RECT)
{
filledRect=true;
break;
}
if (filledRect && fillColor!=null)
Console.WriteLine("{0},{1},{2}",
fillColor.getRed(), fillColor.getGreen(), fillColor.getBlue());
}
}
}
The page Alexander in his answer posted a link to is a copy of an earlier answer by me here on stack overflow.
Thus, I simply ported the code from that answer (which was using iText / Java) to iTextSharp / C#:
The custom IExtRenderListener
implementation
class ExtRenderListener : IExtRenderListener
{
public void BeginTextBlock() { }
public void RenderText(TextRenderInfo renderInfo) { }
public void EndTextBlock() { }
public void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo) { }
public void ModifyPath(PathConstructionRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
pathInfos.Add(renderInfo);
}
public iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.Path RenderPath(PathPaintingRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
GraphicsState graphicsState = getGraphicsState(renderInfo);
Matrix ctm = graphicsState.GetCtm();
if ((renderInfo.Operation & PathPaintingRenderInfo.FILL) != 0)
{
Console.Write("FILL ({0}) ", toString(graphicsState.FillColor));
if ((renderInfo.Operation & PathPaintingRenderInfo.STROKE) != 0)
Console.Write("and ");
}
if ((renderInfo.Operation & PathPaintingRenderInfo.STROKE) != 0)
{
Console.Write("STROKE ({0}) ", toString(graphicsState.StrokeColor));
}
Console.Write("the path ");
foreach (PathConstructionRenderInfo pathConstructionRenderInfo in pathInfos)
{
switch (pathConstructionRenderInfo.Operation)
{
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.MOVETO:
Console.Write("move to {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.CLOSE:
Console.Write("close {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.CURVE_123:
Console.Write("curve123 {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.CURVE_13:
Console.Write("curve13 {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.CURVE_23:
Console.Write("curve23 {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.LINETO:
Console.Write("line to {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData)));
break;
case PathConstructionRenderInfo.RECT:
Console.Write("rectangle {0} ", toString(transform(ctm, expandRectangleCoordinates(pathConstructionRenderInfo.SegmentData))));
break;
}
}
Console.WriteLine();
pathInfos.Clear();
return null;
}
String toString(IList<float> coordinates)
{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
result.Append("[ ");
for (int i = 0; i < coordinates.Count; i++)
{
result.Append(coordinates[i]);
result.Append(' ');
}
result.Append(']');
return result.ToString();
}
List<float> transform(Matrix ctm, IList<float> coordinates)
{
List<float> result = new List<float>();
for (int i = 0; i + 1 < coordinates.Count; i += 2)
{
Vector vector = new Vector(coordinates[i], coordinates[i + 1], 1);
vector = vector.Cross(ctm);
result.Add(vector[Vector.I1]);
result.Add(vector[Vector.I2]);
}
return result;
}
List<float> expandRectangleCoordinates(IList<float> rectangle)
{
if (rectangle.Count < 4)
return new List<float>();
return new List<float>
{
rectangle[0], rectangle[1],
rectangle[0] + rectangle[2], rectangle[1],
rectangle[0] + rectangle[2], rectangle[1] + rectangle[3],
rectangle[0], rectangle[1] + rectangle[3]
};
}
String toString(BaseColor baseColor)
{
if (baseColor == null)
return "DEFAULT";
return String.Format("{0},{1},{2}", baseColor.R, baseColor.G, baseColor.B);
}
GraphicsState getGraphicsState(PathPaintingRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
System.Reflection.FieldInfo gsField = typeof(PathPaintingRenderInfo).GetField("gs", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
return (GraphicsState) gsField.GetValue(renderInfo);
}
public void ClipPath(int rule)
{
}
List<PathConstructionRenderInfo> pathInfos = new List<PathConstructionRenderInfo>();
}
The required reflection required to retrieve the GraphicsState
takes place in the method getGraphicsState
.
Using the ExtRenderListener
class
using (var pdfReader = new PdfReader([FILE TO PARSE]))
{
IExtRenderListener extRenderListener = new ExtRenderListener();
// Loop through each page of the document
for (var page = 1; page <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++)
{
Console.Write("\nPage {0}\n====\n", page);
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(pdfReader);
parser.ProcessContent(page, extRenderListener);
}
}
Output
For the PDF that former question was about, this code returns
