Is there a way to set bounding box of figure in PDFBox

Question

I'm trying to create a PDF that's PAC3 compliant and I need to add images to the PDF. I was able add an image to the PDF but when I run the PDF in PAC 3. I get an error because my image doesn't have a bounding box. PAC3 output: image of PAC3 Here's my code for adding an image to the pdf document.

PDStructureElement currentElem;
public void drawImage(PDStructureElement parent, float width, float height, float x,float y) throws IOException {
        currentElem = addContentToParent(null, StandardStructureTypes.Figure, parent);
        currentElem.setAlternateDescription("logo");

        
        PDImageXObject logoImg = PDImageXObject.createFromFile("logo.jpg", this.pdf);
    
        
        
        PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(this.pdf, this.pdf.getPage(0), PDPageContentStream.AppendMode.APPEND, false);
        setNextMarkedContentDictionary();
        contentStream.beginMarkedContent(COSName.IMAGE, PDPropertyList.create(currentMarkedContentDictionary));

        contentStream.drawImage(logoImg, x, y,45,42);
        contentStream.endMarkedContent();

        contentStream.close();
        addContentToParent(COSName.IMAGE, null, currentElem);

    }

My Question: How do I add a bounding box to a image? Is it even possible with PDFBox?

Answer 1

I don't know if this is much of a solid solution but I did find a way to pass the PAC 3 tests.

Originally I would write the contents of the page out page by page and draw the image after I finished writing the text on the page. I changed it so that I didn't draw the images until after all the pages within the doc already had their text written.
To put it simply: if you draw the image on the page after all the text has been written it doesn't produce any error messages.
