如何在合并时删除空格

How To Remove Whitespace on Merge

我有一些代码采用 3 个不同的 PDF 字节数组并将它们合并。这段代码效果很好。 (某些人)遇到的问题是每个 PDF 都被认为是整页(如果打印的话),即使上面只有 4 英寸的内容,因此垂直留下 7 英寸的白色 space。然后中间文档被放入,最后可能有也可能没有垂直白色 space。然后页脚也会放在自己的页面上。

代码如下:

byte[] Bytes = rv.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, out MimeType, out Encoding, out Extension, out StreamIDs, out Warnings);
List<byte[]> MergeSets = // This is filled prior to this code

// Append any other pages to this primary letter
if (MergeSets.Count > 0) {
  MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
  Document document = new Document();
  PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, ms);
  document.Open();
  PdfImportedPage page;
  PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(Bytes); // read the generated primary Letter
  int pages = reader.NumberOfPages;

  for (int i = 0; i < pages; ) {
    page = copy.GetImportedPage(reader, ++i);
    copy.AddPage(page);
  } // foreach of the pages in the Cover Letter

  // Now append the merge sets
  foreach (byte[] ba in MergeSets) {
    reader = new PdfReader(ba);
    pages = reader.NumberOfPages;

    for (int i = 0; i < pages; ) {
      page = copy.GetImportedPage(reader, ++i);
      copy.AddPage(page);
    } // foreach of the pages in the current merge set
  } // foreach of the sets of data

  document.Close();

  ServerSaved = SaveGeneratedLetter(ms.GetBuffer(), DateTime.Now.Year, hl.LetterName, SaveName);
} // if there is anything to merge

当我将每个页面合并到每个 pdf 末尾的 clip/remove/erase 垂直白色 space 时,有没有办法让它显示为一个无缝文档?

UPDATE: Here are some sample .pdf files I am trying to merge.

header, body, footer

UPDATE 2: USING THE ANSWER:

I have converted @mkl's code to C# and here it is.

The tool class:

public class PdfVeryDenseMergeTool {

  private Rectangle PageSize;
  private float TopMargin;
  private float BottomMargin;
  private float Gap;
  private Document Document = null;
  private PdfWriter Writer = null;
  private float YPosition = 0;

  public PdfVeryDenseMergeTool(Rectangle size, float top, float bottom, float gap) {
    this.PageSize = size;
    this.TopMargin = top;
    this.BottomMargin = bottom;
    this.Gap = gap;
  } // PdfVeryDenseMergeTool

  public void Merge(MemoryStream outputStream, List<PdfReader> inputs) {
    try {
      this.OpenDocument(outputStream);

      foreach (PdfReader reader in inputs) {
        this.Merge(reader);
      } // foreach of the PDF files to merge
    } finally {
      this.CloseDocument();
    } // try-catch-finally
  } // Merge

  public void OpenDocument(MemoryStream outputStream) {
    this.Document = new Document(PageSize, 36, 36, this.TopMargin, this.BottomMargin);
    this.Writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(Document, outputStream);

    this.Document.Open();
    this.NewPage();
  } // OpenDocument

  public void CloseDocument() {
    try {
      this.Document.Close();
    } finally {
      this.Document = null;
      this.Writer = null;
      this.YPosition = 0;
    } // try-finally
  } // CloseDocument

  public void NewPage() {
    this.Document.NewPage();
    this.YPosition = PageSize.GetTop(this.TopMargin);
  } // Merge

  public void Merge(PdfReader reader) {
    PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);

    for (int pageIndex = 1; pageIndex <= reader.NumberOfPages; pageIndex++) {
      this.Merge(reader, parser, pageIndex);
    } // foreach of the pages of the current PDF
  } // Merge

  public void Merge(PdfReader reader, PdfReaderContentParser parser, int pageIndex) {
    PdfImportedPage importedPage = Writer.GetImportedPage(reader, pageIndex);
    PdfContentByte directContent = Writer.DirectContent;

    PageVerticalAnalyzer finder = parser.ProcessContent(pageIndex, new PageVerticalAnalyzer());

    if (finder.VerticalFlips.Count < 2)
      return;

    Rectangle pageSizeToImport = reader.GetPageSize(pageIndex);

    int startFlip = finder.VerticalFlips.Count - 1;
    bool first = true;

    while (startFlip > 0) {
      if (!first)
        this.NewPage();

      float freeSpace = this.YPosition - PageSize.GetBottom(BottomMargin);
      int endFlip = startFlip + 1;

      while ((endFlip > 1) && (finder.VerticalFlips[startFlip] - finder.VerticalFlips[endFlip - 2] < freeSpace))
        endFlip -= 2;

      if (endFlip < startFlip) {
        float height = finder.VerticalFlips[startFlip] - finder.VerticalFlips[endFlip];

        directContent.SaveState();
        directContent.Rectangle(0, this.YPosition - height, pageSizeToImport.Width, height);
        directContent.Clip();
        directContent.NewPath();

        this.Writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, this.YPosition - (finder.VerticalFlips[startFlip] - pageSizeToImport.Bottom));

        directContent.RestoreState();
        this.YPosition -= height + this.Gap;
        startFlip = endFlip - 1;
      } else if (!first) {
        throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("Page {0} content too large", pageIndex));
      } // if

      first = false;
    } // while
  } // Merge
} // PdfVeryDenseMergeTool

The RenderListener class:
UPDATE 3: FIXED 1 LINE OF CODE AND IT WORKS: See comment in code

public class PageVerticalAnalyzer : IRenderListener {

  public PageVerticalAnalyzer() { }

  public List<float> VerticalFlips = new List<float>();

  public void AddVerticalUseSection(float from, float to) {
    if (to < from) {
      float temp = to;
      to = from;
      from = temp;
    }

    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < VerticalFlips.Count; i++) {
      float flip = VerticalFlips[i];
      if (flip < from)
        continue;

      for (j = i; j < VerticalFlips.Count; j++) {
        flip = VerticalFlips[j];
        if (flip < to)
          continue;
        break;
      }
      break;
    } // foreach of the vertical flips

    bool fromOutsideInterval = i % 2 == 0;
    bool toOutsideInterval = j % 2 == 0;

    while (j-- > i)
      VerticalFlips.RemoveAt(j); // This was the problem line with just .Remove(j)
    if (toOutsideInterval)
      VerticalFlips.Insert(i, to);
    if (fromOutsideInterval)
      VerticalFlips.Insert(i, from);
  } // AddVerticalUseSection

  public void BeginTextBlock() { /* Do nothing */  }

  public void EndTextBlock() { /* Do nothing */ }

  public void RenderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo) {
    Matrix ctm = renderInfo.GetImageCTM();
    List<float> YCoords = new List<float>(4) { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

    for (int x = 0; x < 2; x++) {
      for (int y = 0; y < 2; y++) {
        Vector corner = new Vector(x, y, 1).Cross(ctm);
        YCoords[2 * x + y] = corner[Vector.I2];
      }
    }

    YCoords.Sort();
    AddVerticalUseSection(YCoords[0], YCoords[3]);
  } // RenderImage

  public void RenderText(TextRenderInfo renderInfo) {
    LineSegment ascentLine = renderInfo.GetAscentLine();
    LineSegment descentLine = renderInfo.GetDescentLine();
    List<float> YCoords = new List<float>(4) {
      ascentLine.GetStartPoint()[Vector.I2],
      ascentLine.GetEndPoint()[Vector.I2],
      descentLine.GetStartPoint()[Vector.I2],
      descentLine.GetEndPoint()[Vector.I2],
    };

    YCoords.Sort();
    AddVerticalUseSection(YCoords[0], YCoords[3]);
  } // RenderText
} // PageVericalAnalyzer

Code to gather files and run the tool:

public void TestMergeDocuments() {
  PdfVeryDenseMergeTool tool = new PdfVeryDenseMergeTool(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4, 18, 18, 10);
  List<byte[]> Files = new List<byte[]>();

  // Code to load each of the 3 files I need into this byte array list
  
  using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) {
    List<PdfReader> files = new List<PdfReader>();

    foreach (byte[] ba in Files) {
      files.Add(new PdfReader(ba));
    } // foreach of the sets of data

    tool.Merge(ms, files);

    // Save the file using: ms.GetBuffer()
  } // using the memory stream
} // TestMergeDocuments

下面的示例工具是按照工具PdfDenseMergeTool的思想从 which the OP has commented to be SO close to what [he] NEEDs. Just like PdfDenseMergeTool this tool here is implemented in Java/iText which I'm more at home with than C#/iTextSharp. As the OP PdfDenseMergeTool到C#/iTextSharp实现的,在这里翻译这个工具也应该问题不大。

PdfVeryDenseMergeTool

此工具类似于 从多个 PdfReader 实例中获取页面的页面内容并尝试将它们密集合并,即将多个源页面的内容放在一个目标页面上,如果有足够的免费 space 来这样做。与早期的工具相比,此工具甚至可以拆分源页面内容以允许更密集的合并。

就像其他工具一样,PdfVeryDenseMergeTool 不考虑矢量图形,因为 iText(Sharp) 解析 API 只转发文本和位图图像

PdfVeryDenseMergeTool 在不与文本字形或位图图形的边界框相交的水平线上拆分不完全适合目标页面的源页面。

工具class:

此工具使用自定义 RenderListener 与 iText 解析器一起使用 API:

public class PageVerticalAnalyzer implements RenderListener
{
    @Override
    public void beginTextBlock() { }
    @Override
    public void endTextBlock() { }

    /*
     * @see RenderListener#renderText(TextRenderInfo)

    {
        LineSegment ascentLine = renderInfo.getAscentLine();
        LineSegment descentLine = renderInfo.getDescentLine();
        float[] yCoords = new float[]{
                ascentLine.getStartPoint().get(Vector.I2),
                ascentLine.getEndPoint().get(Vector.I2),
                descentLine.getStartPoint().get(Vector.I2),
                descentLine.getEndPoint().get(Vector.I2)
        };
        Arrays.sort(yCoords);
        addVerticalUseSection(yCoords[0], yCoords[3]);
    }

    /*
     * @see RenderListener#renderImage(ImageRenderInfo)
     */
    @Override
    public void renderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
    {
        Matrix ctm = renderInfo.getImageCTM();
        float[] yCoords = new float[4];
        for (int x=0; x < 2; x++)
            for (int y=0; y < 2; y++)
            {
                Vector corner = new Vector(x, y, 1).cross(ctm);
                yCoords[2*x+y] = corner.get(Vector.I2);
            }
        Arrays.sort(yCoords);
        addVerticalUseSection(yCoords[0], yCoords[3]);
    }

    /**
     * This method marks the given interval as used.
     */
    void addVerticalUseSection(float from, float to)
    {

            verticalFlips.add(i, from);
    }

    final List<Float> verticalFlips = new ArrayList<Float>();
}

它是这样使用的:

PdfVeryDenseMergeTool tool = new PdfVeryDenseMergeTool(PageSize.A4, 18, 18, 5);
tool.merge(output, inputs);

应用于 OP 的示例文档

它生成

如果将目标文档页面大小定义为 A5 横向:

PdfVeryDenseMergeTool tool = new PdfVeryDenseMergeTool(new RectangleReadOnly(595,421), 18, 18, 5);
tool.merge(output, inputs);

(VeryDenseMerging.java)

它生成这个:

当心! 这只是概念验证,并未考虑所有可能性。例如。具有重要 Rotate 值的源页面或目标页面的情况未得到正确处理。因此,它还没有准备好用于生产。


当前 (5.5.6 SNAPSHOT) iText 版本的改进

当前的 iText 开发版本 5.5.6 增强了解析器功能,也可以表示矢量图形。因此,我扩展了 PageVerticalAnalyzer 以利用它:

一个简单的测试(VeryDenseMerging.java方法testMergeOnlyGraphics)合并这些文件

进入这个:

但再次注意:这仅仅是概念验证。特别是modifyPath()需要改进,实现不正确,因为它包含了可能远离实际曲线的曲线控制点。
