The 0-based index of the image within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageImageCount-1.
Example





GetPageImageBitDepth Method (GdPicturePDF)
Returns the bit depth of an image, specified by its index within the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetPageImageBitDepth( _
   ByVal ImageIdx As Integer _
) As Integer
 

Parameters

ImageIdx
The 0-based index of the image within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageImageCount-1.

Return Value

The bit (color) depth of a specified image. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example
