                Hi, I'm using GM for .NET and need to identify whether or not an image has a clipping path. The product page on the website  mentions that this is possible (8BIM resources) but I can't find any documentation to help me locate clipping paths. Can you show me the way? Thanks, Paul. |

                Hello Paul,
 Yes, of course. If your task is only get answer "yes, clipping path is present" or "no, there is no clipping path" - you should retrieve Adobe resource block dictionary from the reader and check whether it contains blocks related to clipping path.
 
 I am really not a big specialist in Adobe 8BIM format, but I think that it worth trying to check for blocks with IDs in a range from 0x07D0 to 0x0BB6. Specification says that these block contains path information.
 
 Feel free to post message here in case of any additional questions. I will try to assist you with this task.

 Do you have a link to the specification?
 
 Cheers, Paul.
