    How can I insert an image into a PDF file using Foxit PDF SDK for iOS?

    There are two ways to help you insert an image into a PDF file. The first one is calling FSPDFPage::addImageFromFilePath interface. You can refer to the following sample code which inserts an image into the first page of a PDF file:

    Note: Before calling FSPDFPage::addImageFromFilePath interface, you should get and parse the page that you want to add the image.

    #define DOCUMENT_PATH [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]...// Get the path of a PDF.NSString* pdfPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Sample" ofType:@"pdf"];
        
    // Initialize a PDFDoc object with the path to the PDF file.FSPDFDoc *document = [[FSPDFDoc alloc] initWithPath: pdfPath];
        
    // load the unencrypted document content.[document load:nil];
        
    // Get the first page of the PDF file.FSPDFPage *page = [document getPage:0];
        
    // Parse the page.if (![page isParsed]) {
        FSProgressive* progressive = [page startParse: FSPDFPageParsePageNormal pause:nil is_reparse:NO];    while ([progressive resume] == FSProgressiveToBeContinued) {        continue;    }}
        
    // Get the image path.NSString* imagePath = @"/Users/xiaole/Desktop/1.png";
        
    // Add an image to the first page.FSPointF* point = [[FSPointF alloc] init];[point set:100 y:300];[page addImageFromFilePath:imagePath position:point width:100 height:120 auto_generate_content:YES];
        
    // Save the document that has added the link annotaiton.[document saveAs:[DOCUMENT_PATH stringByAppendingString:@"Sample_image.pdf"] save_flags:FSPDFDocSaveFlagNormal];
