How can I write JPEG2000 encoded images in PDF?

[Costas Stergiou]

Hello,

I am trying to use the imageio jpeg2000 encoder to add jpeg2000-encoded
images in a PDF file.

I created a class Jpeg2000Factory that mimics the JpegFactory and I changed
the encodeImageToJPEGStream method to use the jp2 imageWriter:

 

private static void encodeImageToJPEGStream(BufferedImage image, float
quality, OutputStream out) throws IOException {

    // encode to JPEG

    ImageOutputStream ios = null;

    ImageWriter imageWriter = null;

    try {

      // find JAI writer

      imageWriter = ImageIO.getImageWritersBySuffix("jp2").next();

      ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(out);

      imageWriter.setOutput(ios);

 

      // add compression

evelopers/jai-imageio-1_0-docs/com/sun/media/imageio/plugins/jpeg2000/J2KIma
geWriteParam.html

      

      J2KImageWriteParam param = (J2KImageWriteParam)
imageWriter.getDefaultWriteParam();

      param.setSOP(true);

      param.setEPH(true);

      param.setWriteCodeStreamOnly(true);

      if (quality == 1.0f){

        param.setLossless(true);   

        //param.setFilter(J2KImageWriteParam.FILTER_53);

      }

      else {

        param.setProgressionType("res");

        param.setCompressionMode(J2KImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);  

        param.setCompressionType("JPEG2000");

        param.setLossless(false);

        param.setCompressionQuality(quality);

        param.setEncodingRate(1.01);

        param.setFilter(J2KImageWriteParam.FILTER_97);

      }

 

      ImageTypeSpecifier imageTypeSpecifier = new ImageTypeSpecifier(image);

      IIOMetadata data =
imageWriter.getDefaultImageMetadata(imageTypeSpecifier, param);

      

      // write

      imageWriter.write(data, new IIOImage(image, null, null), param);

    } finally {

      // clean up

      IOUtils.closeQuietly(out);

      if (ios != null) {

        ios.close();

      }

      if (imageWriter != null) {

        imageWriter.dispose();

      }

    }

  }

 

 

I also change the creationg of the PDImageXObject to use the JPX_DECODE COS:

PDImageXObject pdImage = new PDImageXObject(document, byteStream,

            COSName.JPX_DECODE, awtColorImage.getWidth(),
awtColorImage.getHeight(),

            awtColorImage.getColorModel().getComponentSize(0),

            getColorSpaceFromAWT(awtColorImage));

 

Still, the produced PDF does not work properly. Adobe acrobat gives the
error 'Insufficient data for an image' when I try to open a PDF with an
image, whereas PDF Xchange viewer open the PDF, but the colors of the image
are somewhat translucent.

 

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Any pointers maybe?

Thank you
