How to draw a transparent png

[Jeff Gilbert]

Hello,

I am trying to draw a png that has a transparent background on a page using ASP.NET pdf.  The transparent pixels come out black. Here is what I'm trying:

_______________________________________________________________________

            bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap("c:\\Temp\\Bitmap3.png");

            var g = (page as PdfPageBase).Graphics;

            PdfImage pdfImg = new PdfBitmap(bmp);
            g.DrawImage(pdfImg, location.X, location.Y);
_______________________________________________________________________

Do I need to create a PdfImageMask or a PdfColorMask to make this work?

I've been looking at your documentation here and here

The attachment contains the png I am working with and the pdf after I've inserted the png on page 8.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Jeff

I figured out the problem.  This works to create a transparent png:

private PdfImage DrawImage(PdfPageBase page, Bitmap bmp, RectangleF location)

{

    var ms = new MemoryStream();

    bmp.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Png);

    var pdfImg = new PdfBitmap(ms);

    var g = (page as PdfPageBase).Graphics;

    g.DrawImage(pdfImg, location.X, location.Y);

This is the way I was doing it before.  It creates an image with a white background:

private PdfImage DrawImage(PdfPageBase page, Bitmap bmp, RectangleF location)

{

    var g = page.Graphics;

    PdfImage pdfImg = new PdfBitmap(bmp);

    g.DrawImage(pdfImg, location.X, location.Y);

 

Cheers,

Jeff
