I have downloaded PoDoFoBrowser  and can't get it to compile

Start by getting a copy of ISO 32000-1:2008 (the PDF Standard) and start reading.

Then, obtain various programs that can write PDF files with various contents in them.

Next, get a good PDF "object viewer" such as RUPS, PoDoFo, Enfocus Browser, etc.

Then start making PDFs using the apps that already know how and look at what they wrote in the viewers and compare to the spec.

Anything else is just "hit and miss".

I would like to learn and do my own,  that is why.
Because one word processor exists , we should never write another one ?

I am asking here because obviously there are people here who have more knowledge and expertise than what I have right now.
and I still would like to learn, more

thanks

Subject: [iText-questions] Seeing guidance on PDF images

I'm trying to develop a mini PDF library and I'm stuck on getting images into the PDF

using  to read just a simple  (camera generated picture)  jpg  file
        Bitmap  bmp;
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100 , bos);


How do I get this into the PDF format ?

currently this is what I have

                  "<<  /Type  /XObject  \n" +
                      "   /Subtype /Image \n" +
                        "   /Width  "  + bmp.getWidth()  + " \n" +
                      "   /Height  " + bmp.getHeight() + " \n" +
                      "   /ColorSpace  /DeviceRGB  \n" +
                      "   /BitsPerComponent  8  \n" +
                      "   /Length " + bos.size() + " \n" +
                      "   /Filter  /ASCIIHexDecode  \n" +
                      ">> \n" +
                      "stream \n" +
                      bos.toString() +  "\n" +
                      "endstream \n" +
                      "endobj \n\n";

1)  I think my  /Filter  is wrong  not sure what to use   ?
2) The test image is 341 x 256 => 87296 bos.size() returns 84156 and yet when I count the number of bytes between stream and endstream in the generated .pdf file I get 78814 ? What causes these changes ? 3) What is the /Filter equivalence for CompressFormat.JPEG and CompressFormat.PNG ?


Please any help to get from the bitmap to a displayed image in the PDF file would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance
