Adjust JPG Image Quality in Rendered PDF with GroupDocs.Viewer .NET

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • A working knowledge of C# and .NET development.
  • .NET SDK: Installed on your machine.
  • GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET: Download the library here.
  • IDE: Visual Studio or any other .NET development environment.
  • Sample Document: A document file (e.g., PPTX, DOCX) containing JPG images.

Import Namespaces

First, you need to import the necessary namespaces into your C# code. This allows your application to access the functionalities provided by GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options;

Step 1: Define Output Directory and File Path

Set the output directory where the rendered PDF will be saved and define the full path for the output PDF file.

string outputDirectory = "Your Document Directory";
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(outputDirectory, "output_jpg_quality.pdf");

Note: Replace "Your Document Directory" with the actual path.

Step 2: Initialize Viewer and Configure PDF View Options

Instantiate the Viewer class with the path of the document containing JPG images. Then, configure the PdfViewOptions to adjust the JPG image quality.

using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer("SAMPLE.pptx"))
{
    PdfViewOptions options = new PdfViewOptions(outputFilePath);
    options.JpgQuality = 50; // Set JPG quality to 50%
    
    // The rendering process will go here
}

Note: Replace "SAMPLE.pptx" with the path to your document. The JpgQuality property is an integer value between 0 and 100, where 100 is the best quality.

Step 3: Render the Document with Adjusted JPG Quality

Invoke the View method of the Viewer object, passing the configured PdfViewOptions.

// Inside the using block
viewer.View(options);

Step 4: Display Success Message

After rendering the PDF successfully, display a message to notify the user about the completion and the location of the output file.

Console.WriteLine($"\nSource document rendered successfully.\nCheck output in {outputDirectory}.");
