Print PDF that contains JBIG2 images

问题:

Please, suggest me some libraries that will help me print PDF files that contain JBIG2 encoded images. PDFRenderer, PDFBox don't help me. These libs can print simple PDF, but not PDF containing JBIG2 images. PDFRenderer tries to fix it (according to bug issue on PDFRedndrer's bug tracker), but some pages still (especially where barcodes exist) don't want to print.

P.S. I use javax.print API within applet

Thanks!

UPDATE: also tried ICEPdf, is too don't want to work.

I came to the conclusion that all these libraries(PDFRenderer, ICEPdf, PDFBox) use JPedals jbig2 decoder. Bug (some pages didn't print) come from this decoder library. The open source version of this decoder (which is used in PDFRenderer, ICEPdf, PDFBox) is no longer supported, but JPedal has a new commercial branch of the project, and they wrote that the bug has been fixed in new commercial release, which costs $9k.

Any ideas?

UPDATE 2: yesterday I tried to replace JPedal's free library with other open-source jbig2-imageio libraries. But yet I don't get any successful results, so I created a new topic on their project's page (google-code's forum - here ). Would be grateful for any help.

I also found some helpfull discussions on Apache PDFBox bug-tracker: here and here.

回答1:

There is a fork of the JPedal library by Borisvl located at

https://github.com/Borisvl/JBIG2-Image-Decoder#readme

which contains speed improvements and I believe it should also fix your bug.

EDIT : The bug is related to simple range checking. Basically you need to prevent GetPixel from accessing x,y values outside of the bitmap extents.

You need to make sure the following conditions are met before calling getPixel

col >= 0 and col < bitmap.width row >= 0 and row < bitmap.height

Here is some Delphi code with a couple of small range checks. I cannot test the Java code myself but you need to make changes to src/org/jpedal/jbig2/image/JBIG2Bitmap.java

procedure TJBIG2Bitmap.combine(bitmap: TJBIG2Bitmap; x, y: Integer; combOp: Int64);
...
...
var
begin
  srcWidth := bitmap.width;
  srcHeight := bitmap.height;
  srcRow := 0;
  srcCol := 0;

  if (x < 0) then x := 0;
  if (y < 0) then y := 0;

  for row := y to Min(y + srcHeight - 1, Self.height - 1) do   // <<<<<<<<  HERE
  begin
    for col := x to x + srcWidth - 1 do
    begin
      srcPixel := bitmap.getPixel(srcCol, srcRow);

As going through your comment in yms answer ie. " but what library I can use to extract images and (more importantly) put them back in PDF?"

Here is a simple demonstration of
1 ) Extracting jbig2 or you can say all images from pdf.
2 ) Converting jbig2 image to any other format, in my case its jpeg.
3 ) Creating new pdf containing the jpeg.

Using libraries jbig2-imageio and itext.

In the below example please change the resources and the directories path as per your need.
For this I had to go through several resources that I will attach in the end. Hope this helps.

回答3:

How about using AcrobatReader itself? It's a bit muddy getting it to work, and not a robust solution I guess. But will probably print all of it perfectly. And be free

Some info about this route;

回答4:

You have tools as ImageMagick which handle images and convert them to a lot of formats. I used it some years ago so I can't tell you if the jbig2 format is properly handled by default or if you have to install some plugin. You can try the following to have a list of supported formats beginning with J like the JBIG2 you are searching for:

$ convert -list format | grep -i J

It is really obvious to convert to pdf with with tool too, coupled with gs tool aka GhostScript.

If fact nothing prevent you to display a PNG/JPEG version of the image and provide a download link to the original JBIG2 file with its own metadatas.

回答5:

As an alternative, you could try doing this server-side:

Approach 1:
Convert the PDF files to raster images using an external application and print that instead.

Approach 2:
Adjust your PDF files by recompressing JBIG2 images:

1- Extracting the images compressed as JBIG2 from your files.

2- Re-compress them with some other algorithm (jpeg, png, etc). In order to do this you might need to go outside of Java using either JNI or calling an external application. You can try with jbig2dec or ImageMagic for example if the GPL lincense suits your needs.

3- Put the recompressed images back in your PDF.


This approach will imply some quality loss on those images, but at least you will be able to print the files.

You can do this in Java with iText, there is a chapter about resizing images in the book iText in Action (with sample code). The idea there is to extract the image, resize it (including recompression) and put it back. You can use this as starting point. Be aware that iText is an AGPL project, hence you cannot use it for free in commercial closed-source applications.

If you are using a Windows-based server and you can afford a commercial tool, you can also achieve this with Amyuni PDF Creator either with C#/VB.Net or C++ (Usual disclaimer applies for this suggestion). You just need to go though all objects of type acObjectTypePicture and set the attribute Compression to acJPegHigh, this approach does not require any external JBIG2 decoder, (I can include some sample code here if you are interested).

If you are using an applet just to print your PDF files, you could also try generating a PDF file that shows the print dialog when opened
