Convert various Images formats to PDF

Aspose.PDF for PHP allows you to convert different formats of images to PDF files. Our library demonstrates code snippets for converting the most popular image formats, such as - BMP, CGM, D MF, JPG, PNG, SVG and TIFF formats.

Convert BMP to PDF

Convert BMP files to PDF document using Aspose.PDF for PHP library.

BMP images are Files having extension .BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. You can convert BMP to PDF with Aspose.PDF for PHP API. Therefore, you can follow the following steps to convert BMP images:

1. Create a new Document object
2. Add a new page to the document
3. Set the margins of the page to 0 (if needed)
4. Create a new Image object and set the input BMP file
5. Add the image to the page
6. Save the document to the output PDF file

So the following code snippet follows these steps and shows how to convert BMP to PDF using PHP:

// Create a new Document object
$document = new Document();

// Add a new page to the document
$page = $document->getPages()->add();

// Set the margins of the page to 0
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setBottom(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setTop(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setRight(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setLeft(0);

// Create a new Image object and set the input BMP file
$image = new Image();
$image->setFile($inputFile);

// Add the image to the page
$page->getParagraphs()->add($image);

// Save the document to the output PDF file
$document->save($outputFile);

Convert CGM to PDF

CGM is an ISO standard that provides a vector-based 2D image file format for the storage and retrieval of graphics information. CGM is a device-independent format. CGM is a vector graphics format that supports three different encoding methods: binary (best for program read speed), character-based (produces the smallest file size and allows for faster data transfers) or cleartext encoding (allows users to read and modify the file with a text editor)

The following code snippet shows you how to convert CGM files to PDF format using Aspose.PDF for PHP.

1. Create an instance of CgmLoadOptions to specify any specific options for loading the CGM file
2. Create an instance of Document class with mention source filename and options.
3. Save the document with the desired file name.

$options = new CgmLoadOptions();

// Create a Document object and load the CGM file using the specified options
$document = new Document($inputFile, $options);

// Save the document as a PDF file
$document->save($outputFile);

Convert DICOM to PDF

DICOM is a standard for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging. It includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol.

// Add a new page to the document
$page = $document->getPages()->add();

// Set the margins of the page to 0
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setBottom(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setTop(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setRight(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setLeft(0);

// Create a new Image object
$image = new Image();

// Set the DICOM file as the source file for the image
$image->setFile($inputFile);

// Set the file type of the image to DICOM
$image->setFileType(ImageFileType::$Dicom);

// Add the image to the page
$page->getParagraphs()->add($image);

// Save the document as a PDF file

Convert EMF to PDF

Enhanced metafile format (EMF) stores graphical images device-independently. Metafiles of EMF comprises of variable-length records in chronological order that can render the stored image after parsing on any output device.

We have several approaches to convert EMF into PDF.

Using Image class

A PDF document comprises pages and each page contains one or more paragraph objects. A paragraph can be a text, image, table, floating box, graph, heading, form field or an attachment. To convert an image file into PDF format, enclose it in a paragraph.

It is possible to convert images at a physical location on the local hard drive, found at a web URL or in a Stream instance.

To add an image:

1. Create an object of the com.aspose.pdf.Image class.
2. Add the image to a Paragraphs collection of page instance.
3. Specify the path or source of Image.
   • If an image is at a location on the hard drive, specify the path location using the Image.setFile(…) method.
   • If an image is placed in a FileInputStream, pass the object holding the image to the Image.setImageStream(…) method.

The following code snippet shows how to load an image object, set the page margin, place the image on page and save the output as PDF.

$inputFile = "sample.emf";

// Create a new Document object
$document = new Document();

// Add a new page to the document
$page = $document->getPages()->add();

// Set the margins of the page to 0
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setBottom(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setTop(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setRight(0);
$page->getPageInfo()->getMargin()->setLeft(0);

// Create a new Image object and set the input file
$image = new Image();
$image->setFile($inputFile);

// Add the image to the page
$page->getParagraphs()->add($image);

// Save the document as a PDF file
$document->save($outputFile);

Convert SVG to PDF

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (interactive or animated). The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.

SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted and, if required, compressed. As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but it is often more convenient to create them with drawing programs such as Inkscape

How to convert SVG file to PDF format

To convert SVG files to PDF, use the class named SvgLoadOptions which is used to initialize the LoadOptions object. Later, this object is passed as an argument during the Document object initialization and helps the PDF rendering engine to determine the input format of the source document.

The following code snippet shows the process of converting SVG file into PDF format.

// Create a new SvgLoadOptions object
$loadOption = new SvgLoadOptions();

// Create a new Document object and load the SVG file
$document = new Document($inputFile, $loadOption);
