Increase performance on iphone at pdf rendering
- by burki
Hi! I have a UITableView, and in every cell there's displayed a UIImage created from a pdf. But now the performance is very bad. Here's my code I use to generate the UIImage from the PDF.
Creating CGPDFDocumentRef and UIImageView (in cellForRowAtIndexPath method):
...
CFURLRef pdfURL = CFBundleCopyResourceURL(CFBundleGetMainBundle(), (CFStringRef)formula.icon, NULL, NULL);
CGPDFDocumentRef documentRef = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL((CFURLRef)pdfURL);
CFRelease(pdfURL);
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[self imageFromPDFWithDocumentRef:documentRef]];
...
Generate UIImage:
- (UIImage *)imageFromPDFWithDocumentRef:(CGPDFDocumentRef)documentRef {
CGPDFPageRef pageRef = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(documentRef, 1);
CGRect pageRect = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(pageRef, kCGPDFCropBox);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(pageRect.size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, CGRectGetMinX(pageRect),CGRectGetMaxY(pageRect));
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1, -1);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -(pageRect.origin.x), -(pageRect.origin.y));
CGContextDrawPDFPage(context, pageRef);
UIImage *finalImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return finalImage;
}
What can I do to increas the speed and keep the memory low?
