ImageGear Java PDF provides the following samples to help get you started. They are located in the $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGearJavaPDF1-64/samples folder.

Please refer to the “How to Build and Run Samples” section below for help getting started with building the samples.

Sample Name	This sample illustrates how to...	Arguments Available (where [] indicates an optional argument)
AddImageSample	Add an image to a page of a PDF document.	<input_file_path> [<position> [<output_file_path>]]
IGJavaInteroperabilitySample	Integrate ImageGearJava and ImageGearPDFJava libraries. To run this sample you are required to install ImageGear for Java.	<input_file_path> [<output_file_path>]
ImageToPDFSample	Create a PDF document from an image.	<input_file_path> [<output_file_path>]
InsertPagesSample	Insert pages from one PDF document into another PDF document.	<destination_file_path> <insert_at_page_number> <source_file_path> [<start_page_number> [<page_count>]]
MergePDFSample	Merge two PDF documents.	<input_file_path1> <input_file_path2> [<output_file_path>]
OpenSaveSample	Open and save a PDF document.	<input_file_path> [<output_file_path> [<save_with_LINEARIZED_flag>]]
RenderSample	Open and render a PDF document to an image.	<input_file_path> [<page_number> [<output_file_path> [<resolution> [<smoothing_flags>]]]]
SplitPDFSample	Split a PDF document.	<input_file_path> [<number_of_pages>]

Sample Usage

	Copy Code
java -jar RenderSample-1.1.jar "single-page.pdf" "single-page-output.pdf"

The above command runs the RenderSample and specifies "single-page.pdf" as the <input_file_path>, "single-page-output.pdf" as the <output_file_path>. Note the <page_number>, <resolution>, and <smoothing_flags> aren't specified, so the default values are used.

For each sample you can also specify the -h command-line option, which will display an explanation of the different options available and how to use the sample.

How to Build and Run Samples

This section describes how to build and run the code samples.

Using Maven:

Go to the sample folder. For example, for the OpenSaveSample use the following command:
Copy Code
cd $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGearJavaPDF1-64/samples/OpenSaveSample
In the sample folder run the following command:
Copy Code
mvn package
After the command has successfully completed, the "target" folder will be created in the sample folder.

	Copy Code
cd $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGearJavaPDF1-64/samples/OpenSaveSample

	Copy Code
mvn package

Run the sample with the following command:

	Copy Code
java -jar ./target/OpenSaveSample-1.1.jar "../SampleData/Pdf/single-page.pdf" "../SampleData/Pdf/single-page-output.pdf" false

Using Java command-line tools:

Go to the sample folder. For example, for the OpenSaveSample use the following command:
Copy Code
cd $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGearJavaPDF1-64/samples/OpenSaveSample

	Copy Code
cd $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGearJavaPDF1-64/samples/OpenSaveSample

Build the sample using javac. For example, for the OpenSaveSample use the following command:

	Copy Code
javac -classpath "../../java/IgPdf.jar" ./src/com/accusoft/samples/OpenSaveSample/OpenSaveSample.java

Run the sample with Java. For example, for the OpenSaveSample use the following command:

	Copy Code
java -classpath "../../java/IgPdf.jar:./src/" com.accusoft.samples.OpenSaveSample.OpenSaveSample "../SampleData/Pdf/single-page.pdf" "../SampleData/Pdf/single-page-output.pdf" true

To run the IGJavaInteroperabilitySample, use the following command:

Copy Code

java -classpath "<ImageGearJava>/lib/imagegear2.art.jar:<ImageGearJava>/lib/imagegear2.core.jar:
<ImageGearJava>/lib/imagegear2.evaluation.jar:
<ImageGearJava>/lib/imagegear2.formats.common.jar:
<ImageGearJava>/lib/imagegear2.formats.advanced.jar:./target/IGJavaInteroperabilitySample-1.1.jar"
com.accusoft.samples.IGJavaInteroperabilitySample.IGJavaInteroperabilitySample 
"../SampleData/Images/tiff-image.tif" "../SampleData/Pdf/tiff-image-added.pdf"

where <ImageGearJava> is the folder where ImageGear for Java was installed.
