Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
Please upgrade to the latest hotfix(Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:4.6.1) and refer to the code below to accomplish your task.

Code: Select all

//1.PDF --> Base64String
FileStream ReadPDF = new FileStream(@"sample.pdf", FileMode.Open);
byte[] Buffer = new byte[(int)ReadPDF.Length];
ReadPDF.Read(Buffer, 0, (int)ReadPDF.Length);
ReadPDF.Close();
string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(Buffer);

//2.Base64String  --> PDF
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(base64String));
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromStream(ms);
doc.SaveToFile("output.pdf");

Hello,

Thank you for your response.
Generally, the quality would not decrease.

Hello,

path that the file take is :

To database:
upload from web as PDF
Convert pdf to base64 and save it

From database:
Getting base64 file
Convert it to Pdf (base64 to pdf) and save it as stream ( document.SaveToStream(memoryStream); )

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the details.
After an initial test with (Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:4.6.8), I did not reproduce the issue you mentioned. Attached is the output file on my side.
I have noticed that the output document you provided was not the same as the original one, you have added the signature. Did you do that using Spire.PDF? If so, please share the complete code related to Spire. Besides, the low-quality issue could also be caused by an incorrect base64 string. Please check twice on your side. See if the base64 string you get from the database is the same as the previous one.

Hello,
Signature methode:

Code: Select all

public static byte[] ToSignedPDF(this byte[] input)
        {
            try
            {
                MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

                X509Store x509Store = new X509Store(StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
                x509Store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
                X509Certificate2Collection x509Certificate2Collection = x509Store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByIssuerName, "COMP1", false);
                X509Certificate2 x509Certificate2 = x509Certificate2Collection[0];

                Org.BouncyCastle.X509.X509CertificateParser x509CertificateParser = new Org.BouncyCastle.X509.X509CertificateParser();
                Org.BouncyCastle.X509.X509Certificate[] chain = new Org.BouncyCastle.X509.X509Certificate[] { x509CertificateParser.ReadCertificate(x509Certificate2.RawData) };

                IExternalSignature externalSignature = new X509Certificate2Signature(x509Certificate2, "SHA-1");

                PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(input);

                PdfStamper pdfStamper = PdfStamper.CreateSignature(pdfReader, memoryStream, '\0');
                PdfSignatureAppearance signatureAppearance = pdfStamper.SignatureAppearance;

                signatureAppearance.SignatureRenderingMode = PdfSignatureAppearance.RenderingMode.GRAPHIC_AND_DESCRIPTION;

                MakeSignature.SignDetached(signatureAppearance, externalSignature, chain, null, null, null, 0, CryptoStandard.CMS);

                return memoryStream.ToArray();
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }

For modification that we made to our document, we add few things:
- stamp
- Signature
- Timbre


For base64 string that we made after those modification is the same that we get for "to pdf converting"

And from base64 to pdf we use:

Code: Select all

        public static byte[] ToPDF(this List<byte[]> input)
        {
            try
            {
                MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

                using (PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument())
                {
                    foreach (byte[] element in input)
                    {
                        MemoryStream imageMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(element);

                        PdfPageBase page = document.Pages.Add();
                        Spire.Pdf.Graphics.PdfImage image = Spire.Pdf.Graphics.PdfImage.FromStream(imageMemoryStream);
                        //page.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 0;
                        //page.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 0;
                        //page.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 0;
                        //page.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 0;
                        //page.PageInfo.IsLandscape = false;

                        float widthFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width;
                        float heightFitRate = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / page.Canvas.ClientSize.Height;
                        float fitRate = Math.Max(widthFitRate, heightFitRate);
                        float fitWidth = image.PhysicalDimension.Width / fitRate;
                        float fitHeight = image.PhysicalDimension.Height / fitRate;

                        page.Canvas.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, fitWidth, fitHeight);
                    }

                    //document.PDFStandard.CompressionLevel(new Document.ConvertOptions()
                    //{
                    //    LinkDuplcateStreams = true,
                    //    RemoveUnusedObjects = true,
                    //    RemoveUnusedStreams = true,
                    //    CompressImages = true //IMP
                    //});

                    document.SaveToStream(memoryStream);
                }

                return memoryStream.ToArray();
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Thank you for your response.
I have noticed that you were not using our product to sign the pdf. Since the conversion works well with the original template, the issue should be caused by other operations. Have you ever checked the file after adding the signature? Did it become fuzzy? Please save the pdf file directly after signing and send it to us.

Hello prasadbabu,

Are you having an issue with our Spire.PDF?
I simulated a PDF file and tested it with the code you provided, but didn't find any issues. If you are having an issue, please provide more detailed instructions and provide your input files (if any) for us to investigate further. You could attach them here or send them to us via email (support@e-iceblue.com). Thanks in advance.
