Answer 1

You can open the images in an imaging application and print using "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" Printer Driver.

You can also add images to Word Document (Office 2007) and save it as XPS file

Answer 2

Hi Mridu,

     Thank you for the reply. I wanted to add images to XPS Document using WinFX APIs.

Thanks in advance,

Santhosh.

 

 

Answer 3

Santhosh,

You can use the IXpsFixedPageWriter API to programmatically add images and other resources to your XpsDocument.

There is a good sample that clearly demonstrates this in the January CTP Hands on labs PRSHOL11 - Programming XPS Documents, which can be downloaded here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/c/d/ecd81671-eed3-4df5-a01e-383cfd888ea2/hands-on%20labs%20-%20jan%20ctp.msi)

I have edited the code slightly; let me know if you have any questions.  The code below demonstrates how to add images and fonts to an XPS Document.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Xps.Packaging;

using System.Windows.Xps.Serialization;

using System.IO;

using System.Windows.Markup;

using System.Xml;

 

namespace AddingResources

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            String srcPage = "src.xaml";

            String dstContainer = "text.xps";

 

            File.Delete(dstContainer);

 

            XpsDocument document = new XpsDocument(dstContainer, FileAccess.ReadWrite);

 

            IXpsFixedDocumentSequenceWriter docSeqWriter =

                document.AddFixedDocumentSequence();

 

            IXpsFixedDocumentWriter docWriter = docSeqWriter.AddFixedDocument();

 

            IXpsFixedPageWriter pageWriter = docWriter.AddFixedPage();

 

            String image1Path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Images\\Amsterdam Canal.jpg";

            String image2Path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Images\\Paris Notre Dame.jpg";

            String image3Path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Images\\Tower of London.jpg";

            String font1Path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Fonts\\CURLZ___.TTF";

 

            String image1Uri = AddImage(pageWriter, image1Path);

            String image2Uri = AddImage(pageWriter, image2Path);

            String image3Uri = AddImage(pageWriter, image3Path);

            String font1Uri = AddFont(pageWriter, font1Path);

 

            //Load Markup file, and replace tokens with actual Xps URIs

            StreamReader srcTextStream = new StreamReader(srcPage);

            string pageContents = srcTextStream.ReadToEnd();

            pageContents = pageContents.Replace("font1", font1Uri);

            pageContents = pageContents.Replace("image1", image1Uri);

            pageContents = pageContents.Replace("image2", image2Uri);

            pageContents = pageContents.Replace("image3", image3Uri);

            XmlWriter xmlWriter = pageWriter.XmlWriter;

            xmlWriter.WriteRaw(pageContents);

 

            //Commit Writers

            pageWriter.Commit();

            docWriter.Commit();

            docSeqWriter.Commit();

 

            //Close Document

            document.Close();

        }

 

        private static string AddImage(IXpsFixedPageWriter pageWriter, String imageSource)

        {

            XpsImage image = pageWriter.AddImage(XpsImageType.JpegImageType);

            string imageUri = image.Uri.ToString();

            Stream dstImageStream = image.GetStream();

 

            Stream srcImageStream = new FileStream(imageSource, FileMode.Open);

 

            CopyStream(srcImageStream, dstImageStream);

 

            image.Commit();

 

            return imageUri;

        }

 

        private static string AddFont(IXpsFixedPageWriter pageWriter, String fontSource)

        {

            XpsFont font = pageWriter.AddFont(false);

            string fontUri = font.Uri.ToString();

            Stream srcFontStream = new FileStream(fontSource, FileMode.Open);

            Stream dstFontStream = font.GetStream();

            CopyStream(srcFontStream, dstFontStream);

            font.Commit();

            return fontUri;

        }

 

        public

        static

        void

        CopyStream(Stream srcStream, Stream dstSteam)

        {

            int arraySz = 1024 * 1024;

            byte[] buffer = new byte[arraySz]; //1MB

            long bytesRemaining = srcStream.Length;

            while (bytesRemaining > 0)

            {

                long copyLng = (bytesRemaining > arraySz) ? arraySz : bytesRemaining;

                srcStream.Read(buffer, 0, (int)copyLng);

                dstSteam.Write(buffer, 0, (int)copyLng);

                bytesRemaining -= copyLng;

            }

        }

    }

}
