Convert a Raster Image to Vector Formats with Flex and ColdFusion
Return   Back To Top
I created this example after reading a job posting looking for the ability to first load an image, and then, by selecting a portion of the image (using a selection rectangle), to save it into a "OCR-like" TIF file.

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll recognize my technique that combines an AS3 PNG encoder, an open-source utility (KVEC), the Apache Batik project, and of course, ColdFusion 9, enabling you to convert an image to the TIF/PNG/SVG/PDF formats.

This example allows you to upload any JPG, PNG, or GIF (up to 500 KB each upload), and convert it entirely (or select any portion of it with a ActionScript 3 selection rectangle) to all four file-types - a SVG, a PNG, a TIF, and a PDF. It works like this:

  • The uploaded image (or only a selected portion) is passed as binary data to a ColdFusion CFC function that saves a PNG to the ColdFusion server's file system.
  • Next, leveraging an open source tool, KVEC, the PNG, created in step one, is passed to another CFC function that converts the PNG to a SVG file.
  • Next, the SVG is passed to a CFC function that completes the final conversions - 1) to a PDF file and 2) to a TIF file, using the Apache Batik project's batik-rasterizer.jar.
  • Next, leveraging the ColdFusion 9 (available in CF 8 too) <cfzip> tag, a CFC function creates a zip archive containing the PNG, the SVG, the TIF, and the PDF files of the uploaded image.
  • Finally, to save on disk space, a final CFC function is called to delete the TIF, SVG, and PDF files (once the zip archive is safely created). The PNG is retained and used for display purposes.
