Follow these steps to use a PdfImageContent object:

1. Load the image into a System.Drawing.Image object. For example:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Load the image
   System.Drawing.Image image = 
       System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("c:\\hello.gif");

   'Load the image
   Dim image As System.Drawing.Image = _
       System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("c:\hello.gif")

2. Create a PdfImage object using the System.Drawing.Image object:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Create a new PdfImage object
   EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage pdfImage = new EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage(image);

   'Create a new PdfImage object
   Dim pdfImage As New EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage(image)

3. Create a PdfImageContent object using the PdfImage object:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Create a new PdfImageContent object
   EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent content = new EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent(pdfImage);

   'Create a new PdfImageContent object
   Dim content As New EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent(pdfImage)

4. Adjust the PdfImageContent's GfxMatrix to move the image to the desired location:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Move the image
   content.GfxMatrix.Translate(100, 100);

   'Move the image
   content.GfxMatrix.Translate(100, 100)

5. Call the PdfImageContent's AutoScale to scale the image to its original size:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Scale the image
   content.AutoScale();

   'Scale the image
   content.AutoScale()

   Without scaling, PDF always renders an image inside a 1 by 1 (1/72 inch by 1/72 inch) block in the user space. AutoScale automatically scales the image to its original size based on the image's pixel width/height and horizontal/vertical DPI value.

   Optionally, you can call Scale method on the PdfMatrix class to scale the image directly.

6. Add the PdfImageContent into the page's Contents collection:

   C#

   Visual Basic.NET

   Copy

   //Place the image on the page
   page.Contents.Add(content);

   'Place the image on the page
   page.Contents.Add(content)

Below is the full code:

//Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

//Create a new page
PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();

//Load the image
System.Drawing.Image image = 
    System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("c:\\hello.gif");

//Create a new PdfImage object
EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage pdfImage = new EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage(image);

//Create a new PdfImageContent object
EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent content = new EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent(pdfImage);

//Move the image
content.GfxMatrix.Translate(100, 100);

//Scale the image
content.AutoScale();

//Place the image on the page
page.Contents.Add(content);

'Create a new PDF document
Dim doc As New PdfDocument()

'Create a new page
Dim page As PdfPage = doc.Pages.Add()

'Load the image
Dim image As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("c:\hello.gif")

'Create a new PdfImage object
Dim pdfImage As New EO.Pdf.Drawing.PdfImage(image)

'Create a new PdfImageContent object
Dim content As New EO.Pdf.Contents.PdfImageContent(pdfImage)

'Move the image
content.GfxMatrix.Translate(100, 100)

'Scale the image
content.AutoScale()

'Place the image on the page
page.Contents.Add(content)
