I am not using XObject. Here are the steps I am using to get my image (bitmap) into the PDF: - scan the image and get the BMP - save the BMP as a PDF document (1 page) using LEADTools - open the PDF as a PDDoc and call PDDocInsertPages to put the page into my current doc I had previously tried using the AddImage sample, but had issues with sizing, etc, since our image can be scanned at many possible dpi settings. The solution above works great for us now, since Adobe is handling all the image processing, etc, with the exception of the zooming issue.

The way most applications generate images like this is to scale the actual image resource down to a 1x1 pixel dot, and then use the currect transformation matrix to scale it up to the desired size (8.5 x 11 in your case). You need to set the XObject Image's transformation and add a transformation to the page contents immediately before the /Do call. If this is all gibberish to you, could you explain what steps you're using to insert the image into the PDF? --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typdef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard; > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Cyr > Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 9:19 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PDFdev] Media Box Dimensions > > > > PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > _____________________________________________________________ > > Hi Leonard, > > Thanks for the info, here is my issue.
