    • createFromImage

      public static PDImageXObject createFromImage(PDDocument document, BufferedImage image) throws IOException
      Creates a new lossless encoded image XObject from a BufferedImage.

      New for advanced users from 2.0.12 on:
      If you created your image with a non standard ICC colorspace, it will be preserved. (If you load images in java using ImageIO then no need to read this segment) However a new colorspace will be created for each image. So if you create a PDF with several such images, consider replacing the colorspace with a common object to save space. This is done with PDImageXObject.getColorSpace() and PDImageXObject.setColorSpace()

      Parameters:
      document - the document where the image will be created
      image - the BufferedImage to embed
      Returns:
      a new image XObject
      Throws:
      IOException - if something goes wrong
