pdfimage transparency lost when inserted in pdf

[fff]

Hi,

I am using this basic code to insert an image that is generated on-the-fly, with some transparency added with a common wpf transparency function

Bitmap myBitmap = somegenerationfunctionhere();
myBitmap.MakeTransparent(System.Drawing.Color.White); // yes, my image does have some white !
PdfBitmap myPdfBitmap = new PdfBitmap(myBitmap);
page.Graphics.DrawImage(myPdfBitmap, ...);

.. and instead of having some transparency all the white becomes black. I am not doing any other manipulation mon myBitmap between the transpoarency and passing it to pdfimage

What is wrong in the code above ? or bug ?

Thanks,

F

Hi Fabrice, 

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.  

On analyzing your code snippet, we came to know that you have directly passed Bitmap image to PdfBitmap. You have to save the bitmap into memory stream before passing it to PdfBitmap. 

 

Please find the below code snippet, 

Bitmap bitmap = somegenerationfunctionhere(); 

 

bitmap.MakeTransparent(System.Drawing.Color.White); 

 

MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(); 

 

bitmap.Save(imageStream,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png); 

 

PdfBitmap image = new PdfBitmap(imageStream);    

       

Please find the sample from the below link,

Hi Gayathri,

(My code was not passing "directly", but initially using an Image as some SF examples ; this was a simplified version here, but it was not working either anyway)

But your method with a Stream, permitting to force a png format supporting transparency, works perfectly. Job done!

Thanks a lot,

Fabrice
