I want to insert a jpg image into a pdf. The image was created from a
document that was scanned in. I am doing it this way:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER, 0, 0, 0, 0);
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("C:\\test.pdf"));
document.open();
java.awt.Image scannedImage =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filePath);
com.lowagie.text.Image pdfImage =
com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(scannedImage, null);
pdfImage.scaleAbsolute(612f, 792f);
document.add(pdfImage);
document.close();
This works fine except that it creates a much larger file than the jpg
inserted. The jpg size is 541 KB and the pdf ends up being 4.2 MB. How
do I get the pdf to be smaller, or am I even doing this corectly?
