Quality of image

[Ryan]

Q:
Using PDFDraw the resulting image doesn't look as good as other PDF to image conversion

A:
To maximize speed of rendering, by default PDFNet uses fast re-sampling algorithms.

With PDFDraw though you can often increase image quality, without changing dpi, by enabling the hq_image_resampling in SetImageSmoothing.

draw.SetImageSmoothing(true, true); // second parameter is hq_image_resampling

Some images actually come out the best with no smoothing at all. So an alternative setting to the default, or the one mentioned above, is to disable smoothing.

draw.SetImageSmoothing(false, false);
