C# and .NET: Advanced Image Manipulation in PDFs

Working with images in PDF documents is an important part of software development, especially when it comes to creating reports, brochures, or any other documents where precise placement and manipulation of graphic elements are required. In this article, we will look at how to use C# and . You can control the positioning and transformations of images in PDF documents using the components of SautinSoft SautinSoft.Pdf.

It is important to understand several key points related to image processing in PDF:

  • Positioning: Determines the location of the image on the page.
  • Transformation: Includes zooming, rotating and reflecting the image.
    1. Add SautinSoft.Pdf from NuGet.
    2. Load an image from a file.
    3. Set the location of the four images at the corners of the page.
    4. Draw four images and do: Scale, Rotate, Mirror, Transform.
    5. Save the document.

    Using SautinSoft SautinSoft.Pdf for working with images in PDF documents in C# and .NET allows developers to easily integrate complex graphical operations into their applications. Thanks to the powerful functions of the library, you can precisely control the location and transformations of images, which makes creating professional-looking PDF documents a simple and efficient process.
