Bruno,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I instantiate the Image in a static block...
public static Image TINY_TREE;
static {
try {
TINY_TREE = Image.getInstance(new
URL(getSignatureImageUrl("sephora300.jpg")));
} catch (BadElementException e) {
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
In the page that generates the labels, I add the image like this:
aSlide.addCell(getTreeCell());
...
public PdfPCell getTreeCell() {
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(PDFPathologyHelper.TINY_TREE);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
cell.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
cell.setColspan(1);
cell.setBorderWidth(0.0f);
cell.setFixedHeight(SLIDE_FOOTER_HEIGHT);
return cell;
}
I did what you suggested (open the file in text editor), but I'm not
sure how to deduce if the document is sharing the image or using a new
one for each iteration.
Here are all the areas that reference anything about an "Image":
3 0 obj
<</Filter /DCTDecode
/Type /XObject
/Length 18680
/BitsPerComponent 8
/Height 19
/ColorSpace /DeviceGray
/Subtype /Image
/Width 35

/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]
/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]

I'm not sure if that tell you anything. Please let me know if you
have an further advice.
Thanks,
Eric
