ERROR: Unhalded exception: type 'PdfReferenceHolder' is not a subtype of type 'PdfDictionary?' in type cast

[Ruben Donat]

Hello,

I'm trying to put an image on a PDF. I have this code:

page1.graphics.drawImage(PdfBitmap(firma.readAsBytesSync()),

        const Rect.fromLTWH(450, 356, 75, 20));

But when I try to initialize the PDF I get the error:

E/flutter ( 1231): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(198)] Unhandled Exception: type 'PdfReferenceHolder' is not a subtype of type 'PdfDictionary?' in type cast

The var "firma" is a File variable. What can I do?

Thanks!

Hi Ruben,

Syncfusion Flutter Pdf provide support to load the image in JPG and PNG format. So we cannot able to load image using the file stream. We request to follow the below steps to load and draw the image to the pdf document:

//Draw an image.

graphics.drawImage(PdfBitmap(await _readImageData('photo.jpg')),  Rect.fromLTWH(107, 50, 300, 300));

Please follow the below links for more information,

If this does not satisfy your requirement, we request you share the image file with us. So that will be helpful for us to assist you further in this.

Hi Irfana,

It seems that the problem is the version of the SDK. I'm looking to upgrade my project's SDK and see if this was the problem. As soon as I can I'll tell you something

Hello again. I have found the problem. The problem was that I had a PDFDocument.fromBase64String. I don't know if you take into account the reason for the failure, but it would be interesting that just as you can enter text in a preloaded PDF, you can also enter images.
