I am using ITextSharp trying to parse a PDF I have no control over. It doesn't use AcroForm, but it does use images of checkboxes. I can find and extract the two checkbox images themselves (checked and unchecked), but I cannot figure out how to get the references to those images.
How do I find out how many times each image is referenced, and where that reference is placed?
I found a way to get what I needed via the IRenderListener, starting with this comment: http://3d.5341.com/list/27/1036159.html
public static void Main()
{
string inputStream = "whatever.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(inputStream);
var parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);
var imgScan = new FormListener();
for (int i=1; i<=reader.NumberOfPages; ++i)
parser.ProcessContent(1, imgScan);
reader.Close();
foreach (var r in imgScan.CheckBoxBoxes)
{
r.Dump();
}
}
public class CheckboxBox
{
public CheckboxBox()
{
this.CheckboxStates = new List<bool>();
}
public string Name { get;set; }
public List<bool> CheckboxStates {get;set;}
}
public class FormListener : IRenderListener
{
public List<CheckboxBox> CheckBoxBoxes { get;set;}
private CheckboxBox m_CurrentCheckboxBox { get;set;}
public FormListener()
{
this.CheckBoxBoxes = new List<CheckboxBox>();
this.BeginNewBox();
}
public void BeginTextBlock() {}
public void EndTextBlock() {}
private void BeginNewBox()
{
this.m_CurrentCheckboxBox = new CheckboxBox();
this.CheckBoxBoxes.Add(this.m_CurrentCheckboxBox);
}
private bool IsNewBoxStarting(TextRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
return Regex.IsMatch(renderInfo.GetText(), @"\d+\.");
}
public void RenderText(TextRenderInfo renderInfo) {
if (this.IsNewBoxStarting(renderInfo))
BeginNewBox();
this.m_CurrentCheckboxBox.Name += renderInfo.GetText() + " ";
}
private bool GetCheckboxState(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
var n = renderInfo.GetRef().Number;
return n == 21; // MagicNumberOfYesCheckboxImage;
}
public void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
this.m_CurrentCheckboxBox.CheckboxStates.Add(this.GetCheckboxState(renderInfo));
}
}
