Is the Image file a Multi Page TIFF or is it a PDF?

I have not tested a multi page TIFF but this works for PDF for sure, just add ?page=2 at the end of your image path. To make it dynamic simply use a dynamic image script.

Hi, iBaldie

Thanks for your answer.

So, if I want to display all of the image file,I should get the image’s total page first and use 16 dynamic image script?

The image file is PDF.

I want the image’s page 1 display on document page 1,page 2 display on document page 2

Hi zoidsabcd,

You may test the below code which gets the number of pages in the PDF and dynamically create each page. It is assumed that the PDF is A4 (210x297mm)

var pdfResource = ‘file://C:/images/samplePDF.pdf’;
var numPages = resource(pdfResource).pages;

// reversed for loop so that the pages appear in the correct order
for(var i = numPages; i > 0; i–){
pdfResourcePage = pdfResource + ‘?page=’ + i;
results.after(‘<div class=“page” style="width: 210mm; height: 297mm; background-image: url(’ + pdfResourcePage + ‘); "></div>’);
}

// hide our placeholder
results.hide();
