What's for

SDWebImagePDFCoder is a PDF coder plugin for SDWebImage framework, which provide the image loading support for PDF. The PDF rendering is done using Apple's built-in framework (UIKit/AppKit/Core Graphics).

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

You can modify the code or use some other PDF files to check the compatibility.

Requirements

  • iOS 9+
  • tvOS 9+
  • macOS 10.11+
  • watchOS 2+
  • Xcode 13+

Installation

CocoaPods

SDWebImagePDFCoder is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'SDWebImagePDFCoder'

Carthage

SDWebImagePDFCoder is available through Carthage.

github "SDWebImage/SDWebImagePDFCoder"

Swift Package Manager (Xcode 11+)

SDWebImagePDFCoder is available through Swift Package Manager.

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/SDWebImage/SDWebImagePDFCoder.git", from: "1.0")
    ]
)

Usage

To use PDF coder, you should firstly add the SDImagePDFCoder to the coders manager. Then you can call the View Category method to start load PDF images.

Use UIImageView vector rendering (iOS/tvOS 11+, Mac)

Important: Apple add the built-in vector image support for PDF format for UIKit from iOS/tvOS 11+. Which means you can create a UIImage with PDF data, and set it on the UIImageView. When the imageView bounds/contentMode changed, the PDF image also get scaled without losing any detail. You can also use +[UIImage imageNamed:] with Xcode Asset Catalog for PDF image, remember to turn on Preserve Vector Data.

For macOS user, NSImage/NSImageView support PDF image from the day one. Use it as usual.

  • Objective-C
SDImagePDFCoder *PDFCoder = [SDImagePDFCoder sharedCoder];
[[SDImageCodersManager sharedManager] addCoder:PDFCoder];
UIImageView *imageView;
[imageView sd_setImageWithURL:url];
  • Swift
let PDFCoder = SDImagePDFCoder.shared
SDImageCodersManager.shared.addCoder(PDFCoder)
let imageView: UIImageView
imageView.sd_setImage(with: url)

Use UIImageView bitmap rendering (iOS/tvOS 10-)

For firmware which is below iOS/tvOS 11+, UIImage && UIImageView does not support vector image rendering. Even you can add PDF image in Xcode Asset Catalog, it was encoded to bitmap PNG format when compiled but not support runtime scale.

For UIImageView, we will only parse PDF with a fixed image size (from the PDF mediaBox information). But we also support you to specify a desired size during image loading using .imageThumbnailPixelSize context option. And you can specify whether or not to keep aspect ratio during scale using .imagePreserveAspectRatio context option.

Note: Once you pass the pixel size, we will always generate the bitmap representation even on iOS/tvOS 11+. If you want the vector format, do not pass them, let UIImageView to dynamically stretch the PDF.

  • Objective-C
SDImagePDFCoder *PDFCoder = [SDImagePDFCoder sharedCoder];
[[SDImageCodersManager sharedManager] addCoder:PDFCoder];
UIImageView *imageView;
CGSize bitmapSize = CGSizeMake(500, 500);
[imageView sd_setImageWithURL:url placeholderImage:nil options:0 context:@{SDWebImageContextImageThumbnailPixelSize : @(bitmapSize)];
  • Swift
let PDFCoder = SDImagePDFCoder.shared
SDImageCodersManager.shared.addCoder(PDFCoder)
let imageView: UIImageView
let bitmapSize = CGSize(width: 500, height: 500)
imageView.sd_setImage(with: url, placeholderImage: nil, options: [], context: [.imageThumbnailPixelSize : bitmapSize])

Export PDF data

SDWebImagePDFCoder provide an easy way to export the PDF image generated from framework, to the original PDF data.

If the input image is already vector PDF based, will export that instead (fast). Else we will create an empty PDF page with the bitmap image drawn on (slow).

  • Objective-C
UIImage *pdfImage; // UIImage with vector image, or NSImage contains `NSPDFImageRep`
NSData *pdfData = [pdfImage sd_imageDataAsFormat:SDImageFormatPDF]; // May return the vector data, or create new PDF with current image drawn on
  • Swift
let pdfImage: UIImage // UIImage with vector image, or NSImage contains `NSPDFImageRep`
let pdfData = pdfImage.sd_imageData(as: .PDF) // May return the vector data, or create new PDF with current image drawn on

Screenshot

These PDF images are from icons8, you can try the demo with your own PDF image as well.
