Convert page size to pixels

[Steve_J_Willis@adobeforums.com]

Two (possibly) related questions:

(1) I am drawing the image of a page to an offscreen bitmap using PDPageDrawContentsToWindow. I need to allocate a correct height and width for the page in pixels for the resulting bitmap. What I want is an image that represents the size of the page at 100% zoom. This is what I've tried:

ASFixedRect cropBox;
PDPageGetCropBox(AVPageViewGetPage(pageView), &cropBox);
AVDevRect pageRect;
AVPageViewRectToDevice(pageView, &cropBox, &pageRect);
double zoom = ASFixedToFloat(AVPageViewGetZoom(pageView));
int pageWidth = (int) (abs(pageRect.right - pageRect.left) / zoom);
int pageHeight = (int) (abs(pageRect.bottom - pageRect.top) / zoom);

The above width and height are too large for the image drawn to my bitmap by PDPageDrawContentsToWindow.

(2) I notice that when I select File | Export | Image in Acrobat and save the page as a JPEG, the resulting image width and height are substantially larger than the width and height calculated in #1 (which are themselves too large for the PDPageDrawContentsToWindow function). How does Acrobat choose an optimal width/height to avoid aliasing? The size of my output image is arbitrary; I want to choose a width and height that are optimal to capture the image data of the original page, and understand how to scale the output of PDPageDrawContentsToWindow to those values.

Thanks!

You don't need to deal with the AV stuff here - just the page size...

BUT you need to remember to multiply by the resolution...

Could you give me a more concrete example? I don't understand how to get the page size without dealing with the AV stuff.

My question is probably simpler than I stated above: PDPageDrawContentsToWindow will draw the page to a bitmap of some size, measured in pixels. I need to know what that size is in advance so I can create a correctly sized bitmap for it to draw on to hold the entire page. How do I determine the width and height of the page image PDPageDrawContentsToWindow will draw in pixels?

Your help is appreciated!
