The component allows to convert PDF (Portable Document Format) and PS (PostScript) files in images. The component allows too to extract text from PDF and PS files. The component implements a true object oriented hi level interface to AFPL Ghostscript 7.03 for Win32 [gs703w32.exe - 6187008 bytes] command line intepreter: so you have to download and install it before to use TPDFParser.

• You can load and convert PDF and PS documents in images for easy display and handling
• Convert PDF and PS document in raster format as TIFF, BMP, PCX, etc.. using Envision filters as option
• Extract ASCII text from PDF and PS file for indexing or reusing

The component is easy to use and hide all the complexity of GhostScript command line interpreter !

To convert a PDF file in images you can select the resolution of the images to obatin, the color mode (mono,16 level gray, 256 level gray, true-color), the pages range and for each page converted you will receive the TDIBGraphic by a custom event !

It works with standard TBitmap as well as with TDIBImage as addon component for Envision Image Library so the use of this library is optional.

It's an addon component for Envision Image Library. The component allows to encrypt images as well as to decrypt images previously encrypted.

The encryption allows to make unreadable the image content, leaving readable the file !

The encrypted algo used is an original algo, based on pseudo random number generation. It takes in accounts also how usual compression algos work and avoid that an encrypted file after compression increases the size over the uncompressed version, as happens using convention "xor" based algos !

Just as sample, the above image encrypted with TEncryptTransform and compressd in CCITT G4 is just 120 KB: the same image encrypted with "xor" based algorithm and compressed with CCITT G4 is 1300 KB !

You can set several parameters to fine tune the encryption process.

Also You can apply several time the encryption process with different keys if you need.

To decrypt is just required to redo encryption using the same key used to encrypt, or the key sequence, in any order, if more than a pass was used.

Infact, if "f" is the encryption function, "x" is the original image, "xk" is the encrypted image, and "kn" are encryption keys, we have:

xk=f(x,k1) and x=f(xk,k1)

f(f(x,k1),k2)=f(f(x,k2),k1)

Using this transform with other Envision components you can also encrypt only an image region: this allows you to make secure your sensible data !

It's an addon component for Envision Image Library. It shows a complete overview of the image contained in the main windows in a TImageScrollBox component. The purpose of this extra windows is to display the entire document while only a part is visible in the main window.

You will notice a small frame of customizable color in the overview window when viewing an image. This frame corresponds to the area visible in the main window. When panning around the document, the square moves correspondingly. When the zoom factor in the main window is changed, the size changes, enclosing the new area selected for viewing.

When moving the cursor over this window, if you click the mouse button, the colored frame follows the pointing hand to the new position and updates the contents in the main window. The colored frame can also be dragged around by holding down the left mouse button while it is moved.

It's an addon component for Envision Image Library. The component allows to load and display annotations on a image.

You can load annotations from TIFF files created with Wang and Kodak Imaging as well as from external data files. Multi pages TIFF files are supported too.

The component is free but it's based on an other shareware component, TAnnotations, allowing to fully manage annotations. To get more info see next section.

You can download:

You can use the component with Borland Delphi 6 on Windows platforms.

It's an indipended component allowing to load, save, edit and display annotations on a canvas. It was written entirely in Delphi code and don't uses external libraries or ocx !

Are supported all the annotation marks available in Wang/Kodak Imaging for Windows: Attach-a-Note, Straight Line, Freehand Line, Hollow Rectangle, Filled Rectangle, Typed Rectangle, Text From File, Text Stamp, Image Embedded, Image Reference, Form, OCR Region.

You can load and save annotations data using memory buffers, streams, binary files and extract annotations too from single or multi Page TIFF files created with Imaging.

The next sample code snippet show how to load annotations from a tiff file, add a post-it like note, delete all freehand line annotations, display and save the new annotations on a stream:

 Var Annotations:TAnnotations;
     NewAnnotation:TGenericAnnotation;
     I:Integer;
     // MyOutputStream and MyCanvas should be already defined...

 // Create the object
 Annotations:=TAnnotations.Create;
 try
  // Load annotations from the first page of a TIFF file
  Annotations.LoadFromTIFFfile('c:\test.tif',0);
  // Add a new annotation
  NewAnnotation:=Annotations.Add(atAttachANote);
  // Set the common annotations properties: position, colors, font
  NewAnnotation.Rect:=Rect(50,50,300,300);
  NewAnnotation.Color1.rgbRed:=255;
  NewAnnotation.Color1.rgbGreen:=255;
  NewAnnotation.Color1.rgbBlue:=0;
  NewAnnotation.Color2.rgbRed:=0;
  NewAnnotation.Color2.rgbGreen:=0;
  NewAnnotation.Color2.rgbBlue:=255;
  NewAnnotation.Font.lfFaceName:='Arial';
  NewAnnotation.Font.lfHeight:='12';
  // Set the specific annotation properties: text and resolution
  (NewAnnotation as TGenericTextAnnotation).Text:='This is a note !';
  (NewAnnotation as TGenericTextAnnotation).OriginalResolution:=200;
  // Find and delete all freehand line annotations
  For i:=(Annotations.Count-1) downto 0 do
   if Annotations[i] is TAnnotationFreeHandLine
    then Annotations.Delete(i);
  // Display annotation on the form canvas at 50%
  Annotations.Draw(MyCanvas,Rect(0,0,0,0),50);
  // Save modified annotations on a stream
  Annotations.SaveToStream(MyOutputStream);
 finally
  // destroy the object 
  Annotations.Free;
 end;

As you can see the component is very easy to use and allow you to add, edit and delete annotations in runtime as well as to store annotations in every place, in a database blob field too !
