Extract Image from PDF using Java

I need to extract bar-code from PDF only (using rectangle), not converting the whole PDF into image.

The image format can be jpg/png.

回答1:

With PDF Box, without coding:

"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.2.jar PDFToImage foo.pdf

To do a batch processing:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Observer;

import org.apache.pdfbox.PDFToImage;

public class Main {

   static {
      System.setProperty(
         "org.apache.commons.logging.Log",
         "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog" );
   }

   public static int extract( List< File > files, File jpegDir, Observer observer ) {
      jpegDir.mkdirs();
      int done = 0;
      for( final File file : files ) {
         try {
            final File   target   = new File( jpegDir, file.getName());
            final String trgtPath = target.getPath();
            final String prefix   = trgtPath.substring( 0, trgtPath.lastIndexOf( '.' ));
            PDFToImage.main( new String[]{ "-outputPrefix", prefix, file.getPath() });
            final double percent  = (100.0 * ++done ) / files.size();
            System.out.printf( "%6.2f %%: %s\n", percent, file.getName());
            if( observer != null ) {
               observer.update( null, file );
            }
         }
         catch( final Throwable t ) {
            System.err.println( file.getPath());
            t.printStackTrace();
         }
      }
      return done;
   }

   public static void main( String[] args ) {
      if( args.length != 2 ) {
         System.err.println(
            "usage: java -jar pdf2img.jar <PDF directory> <JPEG directory>" );
         System.exit(1);
      }
      final File   pdfDir  = new File( args[0] );
      final File   jpegDir = new File( args[1] );
      final File[] files   = pdfDir.listFiles( new FilenameFilter() {
         @Override public boolean accept( File dir, String name ) {
            return name.toLowerCase().endsWith( ".pdf" );
         }});
      if( files != null ) {
         final int done = extract( Arrays.asList( files ), jpegDir, null );
         System.out.printf(
            "\n%d file%s processed.", done, ( done > 1 ) ? "s" : "" );
      }
   }
}

This utility may be associated with a GUI (french localized):

public final class GUI extends Application {

   @Override
   public void start( Stage primaryStage ) throws Exception {

回答2:

You can use Pdfbox

List pages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
Iterator iter = pages.iterator();
while( iter.hasNext() )
{
    PDPage page = (PDPage)iter.next();
    PDResources resources = page.getResources();
    Map images = resources.getImages();
    if( images != null )
    {
        Iterator imageIter = images.keySet().iterator();
        while( imageIter.hasNext() )
        {
            String key = (String)imageIter.next();
            PDXObjectImage image = (PDXObjectImage)images.get( key );
            String name = getUniqueFileName( key, image.getSuffix() );
            System.out.println( "Writing image:" + name );
            image.write2file( name );
        }
    }
}

Try jpedal, that will work. It can extract almost any type of objects (images, text..)

jpedal-Java developer library

回答4:

PDFDecoder API from JPedal will help you extract the words.

// Decode the page              
decodePdf.decodePage(page);

// Create the grouping object to apply grouping to the data
PdfGroupingAlgorithms currentGrouping = decodePdf.getGroupingObject();

// Bounding box for the whole page
PdfPageData currentPageData = decodePdf.getPdfPageData();
int x1 = currentPageData.getMediaBoxX(page);
int x2 = currentPageData.getMediaBoxWidth(page)+x1;
int y2 = currentPageData.getMediaBoxX(page);
int y1 = currentPageData.getMediaBoxHeight(page)-y2;

// Extract words
List words = currentGrouping.extractTextAsWordlist(x1, y1, x2, y2, page, true, "&:=()!;.,\\/\"\"\'\'");

Now, iterate through the list for the words in PDF. Hope it works. Thanks!
