Code Sample - Extract Images from a PDF Document

The code below was taken from the PDF Images Extractor demo application available for download in the PDF Images Extractor archive. In this sample an instance of the PdfImagesExtractor class is constructed and used to extract the images from a PDF document.

private void btnExtractImages_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (pdfFileTextBox.Text.Trim().Equals(String.Empty))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Please choose a source PDF file", "Choose PDF file", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
        return;
    }

    // the source pdf file
    string pdfFileName = pdfFileTextBox.Text.Trim();

    // start page number
    int startPageNumber = int.Parse(textBoxStartPage.Text.Trim());
    // end page number
    // when it is 0 the extraction will continue up to the end of document
    int endPageNumber = 0;
    if (textBoxEndPage.Text.Trim() != String.Empty)
        endPageNumber = int.Parse(textBoxEndPage.Text.Trim());

    // create the PDF images extractor object
    PdfImagesExtractor pdfImagesExtractor = new PdfImagesExtractor();

    pdfImagesExtractor.LicenseKey = "31FAUEJHUEBQRl5AUENBXkFCXklJSUlQQA==";

    // the demo output directory
    string outputDirectory = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, @"DemoFiles\Output");

    Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
            
    // set the handler to be called when an image was extracted
    pdfImagesExtractor.ImageExtractedEvent += pdfImagesExtractor_ImageExtractedEvent;
            
    try
    {
        // start images counting
        imageIndex = 0;

        // call the images extractor to raise the ImageExtractedEvent event when an images is extracted from a PDF page
        // the pdfImagesExtractor_ImageExtractedEvent handler below will be executed for each extracted image
        pdfImagesExtractor.ExtractImagesInEvent(pdfFileName, startPageNumber, endPageNumber);

        // Alternatively you can use the ExtractImages() and ExtractImagesToFile() methods
        // to extracted the images from a PDF document in memory or to image files in a directory

        // uncomment the line below to extract the images to an array of ExtractedImage objects
        //ExtractedImage[] pdfPageImages = pdfImagesExtractor.ExtractImages(pdfFileName, startPageNumber, endPageNumber);

        // uncomment the lines below to extract the images to image files in a directory
        //string outputDirectory = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, @"DemoFiles\Output");
        //pdfImagesExtractor.ExtractImagesToFile(pdfFileName, startPageNumber, endPageNumber, outputDirectory, "pdfimage");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // The extraction failed
        MessageBox.Show(String.Format("An error occurred. {0}", ex.Message), "Error");
        return;
    }
    finally
    {
        // uninstall the event handler
        pdfImagesExtractor.ImageExtractedEvent -= pdfImagesExtractor_ImageExtractedEvent;

        Cursor = Cursors.Arrow;
    }

    try
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(outputDirectory);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Cannot open output folder. {0}", ex.Message));
        return;
    }
}
