Convert image file to editable PDF document using C#

If you need get editable PDF document from an image file, you need OCR SDK to extract text from image files.

using RasterEdge.XDoc.Converter;

String inputFilePath = @"C:\1.png";
String outputFilePath = @"C:\output.pdf";

DocumentSaveOption ops = new DocumentSaveOption(FileType.DOC_PDF);
// The folder that contains '.traineddata' files.
ops.OcrSourcePath = @"C:\Source";
//  Convert to editable PDF file.
ops.IsSearchable = true;

ImageConverter.ToDocument(inputFilePath, outputFilePath, ops);

Image position and placement on the PDF page

Using XDoc.PDF C# library, you can easily print the image to any position on the PDF page or crop the page to fit the image width and height. You can also adjust the image zoom on the page with or without original aspect ratio.

The following text and C# example source code explains how to convert JPG, PNG, bitmap image on specified PDF page with adjusted image options.

The image is added at the top left corner of the PDF page.
The image is added at the top right corner of the page
The image is converted and printed at the top center of the page
The image is placed at the center of the PDF page
The image is added at the bottom left corner of the PDF page.
The image is added at the bottom right corner of the page
The image is converted and printed at the bottom center of the page
The image is covered the whole page
The image is covered the page with its original aspect ratio kept
The PDF page width and height are cropped to fit the image

Top left corner of page
Top center of page
Top right corner of page

Top left corner of the page

Load the image file to be converted
Create a new PDFDocument object with 1 new page
Create a PDFItemOptions object to specify the image covered area on the PDF page
Property Position to set the image corved area top left point. The top left corner of the page position value is new PointF(0, 0)
Property Width to set the image corvered area width in pixel
Property Height to set the image corvered area height in pixel
Utilize the PDFImageHandler.AddImage() function the add the image to the specified area on the pdf page.
