Create DICOM encapsulated PDF?

[JRotella]

I'm searching the Fellow Oak DICOM libraries for a class or set of classes that I can use to take an existing PDF document and convert it to DICOM encapsulated PDF.  So far, my investigation has come up empty.  Would I need to look in one of the codec related classes, or is there some other source of documentation I can peruse to understand this operation?

Thanks!

hi

this is how I experimentally decoded pdf from dicom object using mdcm...

 

just reverse it...

 

 if (ff.FileMetaInfo.MediaStorageSOPClassUID == DicomUID.EncapsulatedPDFStorage && ff.Dataset.Contains(DicomTags.EncapsulatedDocument))
                {
                    byte[] Buffer = new byte[ff.Dataset.GetOB(DicomTags.EncapsulatedDocument).Length];
                    Buffer = ff.Dataset.GetOB(DicomTags.EncapsulatedDocument).GetValues();

                    FileStream CreatePdf = new FileStream(ff.Dataset.GetUI(DicomTags.SOPInstanceUID).GetValueString() + ".pdf", FileMode.Create);
                    CreatePdf.Write(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length);
                    CreatePdf.Close();

                    System.Diagnostics.Process proc;
                    proc = Process.Start(CreatePdf.Name);
                   
                }

This worked for me... of course you'll have to add in all your tags.

 

public void Encapsulate(string file, string outFile) {
   DicomDataset data = new DicomDataset();
   data.Add(DicomTag.SOPClassUID, DicomUID.EncapsulatedPDFStorage);
   byte[] fileData = ReadBytesFromFile(file);
   data.Add(DicomTag.EncapsulatedDocument, fileData);
   DicomFile ff = new DicomFile(data);
   ff.Save(@outFile);
}

public byte[] ReadBytesFromFile(string fileName) {
  FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(fileName);
  try
  {
     byte[] bytes = new byte[fs.Length];
     fs.Read(bytes, 0, Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));
     fs.Close();
     return bytes; 
   }
   finally 
   { 
       fs.Close(); 
    }
}

Error In DicomFile ff = new DicomFile(data);
Object reference not set

I don't understand: DicomDataset accpt bytes()??

Hello JRotella,

It's been a while since your last question post, may I know any updates? Do you have any encapsulate PDF report file sample that can share with us?

I finish the encapsulate PDF report development, need a sample for test and comparison.

BR,
