Extract images from document page area Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Parser provides the functionality to extract images from document page area by the GetImages(PageAreaOptions) and GetImages(int, PageAreaOptions) methods:

IEnumerable<PageImageArea> GetImages(PageAreaOptions options);
IEnumerable<PageImageArea> GetImages(int pageIndex, PageAreaOptions options);

The methods return a collection of PageImageArea objects:

ImageOptions class is used to define the image format into which the image is converted. The following image formats are supported:

• Bmp
• Gif
• Jpeg
• Png
• WebP

PageAreaOptions parameter is used to customize text areas extraction process. This class has the following members:

Here are the steps to extract images from the upper-left corner:

• Instantiate Parser object for the initial document;
• Instantiate PageAreaOptions with the rectangular area;
• Call GetImages(PageAreaOptions) method and obtain collection of PageImageArea objects;
• Check if collection isn’t null (images extraction is supported for the document);
• Iterate through the collection and get sizes, image types and image contents.

The following example shows how to extract only images from the upper-left corner:

// Create an instance of Parser class
using (Parser parser = new Parser(filePath))
{
    // Create the options which are used for images extraction
    PageAreaOptions options = new PageAreaOptions(new Rectangle(new Point(0, 0), new Size(300, 100)));
    // Extract images from the upper-left corner of a page:
    IEnumerable<PageImageArea> images = parser.GetImages(options);
    // Check if images extraction is supported
    if (images == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Page images extraction isn't supported");
        return;
    }
    // Iterate over images
    foreach (PageImageArea image in images)
    {
        // Print a page index, rectangle and image type:
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Page: {0}, R: {1}, Type: {2}", image.Page.Index, image.Rectangle, image.FileType));
    }
}
