NotImplementedError: unsupported filter /JBIG2Decode
Explanation
I found an example for the /JBIG2Decode filter :-)
Code Example
PDF: https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/files/12090692/New.Jersey.Coinbase.staking.securities.charges.2023-0606_Coinbase-Penalty-and-C-D.pdf
from pypdf import PdfReader, __version__
print(f"pypdf=={__version__}")
reader = PdfReader("New.Jersey.Coinbase.staking.securities.charges.2023-0606_Coinbase-Penalty-and-C-D.pdf")
page = reader.pages[0]
for img in page.images:
print(img.name)
gives
pypdf==3.12.2

Here is pdfminer implementation: https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/blob/master/pdfminer/jbig2.py
https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/issues/2502#issuecomment-1980190505 - here we have another example
This might need a general design decision if I am not mistaken: Pillow does not seem to support JBIG2, while our implementation currently assumes that all images can be loaded as PIL.Image.Image (pdfminer.six does not use Pillow for saving images).
AFAIK there only is jbig2dec which would have to be used in a subprocess to get a "good" image format from the JBIG2 image embedded inside the PDF file (after adding the missing bytes, specifically "the JBIG2 file header, end-of-page segments, and end-of-file segment" which are not part of the XObject according to section 7.4.7 of the PDF 2.0 spec), although this might cause issues with masks etc. (jbig2dec itself is subject to APGL-3.0-or-later and with its strong copyleft effect (including SaaS) rather unlikely to become part of Pillow.) The alternative would be to parse the essential aspects like the pixel data from the JBIG2 image ourselves.
Many platforms support a standalone 'jbig2dec' functionality (e.g. on Mac can brew install jbig2dec) - can you farm that functionality out to that routine? I was going to try, but can't seem to get the raw unfiltered image bytes from the page object. Prob my ignorance... (will keep digging)

the XObject is a ContentStream. You should be able to access the data with .get_data()
Given the data, you should still have a look at the PDF specification on the filter (for PDF 2.0/ISO 32000-2:2020, this is section 7.4.7), especially as jbig2dec probably expects the header and footer to be present, which are omitted within PDF files.
I have it working for the test file I have been using. Cludgey bt working!
I only had to modify one file - filters.py.
If you intended to append a file here, then this did not work due to you answering by e-mail. Uploading files usually requires using the GitHub UI itself.
OK.

This is a quick McGiver fix for the /JBIG2 error. You need to load the 'jbig2dec' utility. On the Mac this is on home-brew. The fix assumes you have apple silicon - the path to the utility is /opt/homebrew/bin/jbig2ec. If you are Intel Mac, it probably is /usr/local/bin/jbig2dec????

Relevant class from the code:
class JBIG2Decode:
@staticmethod
def decode(
data: bytes,
decode_parms: Optional[DictionaryObject] = None,
**kwargs: Any,
) -> bytes:
# decode_parms is unused here
pathin = '/var/tmp/tempin.jbig2'
pathout = '/var/tmp/tempout.jbig2'
with open(pathin,"wb") as fl:
fl.write(data)
process = subprocess.run(['/opt/homebrew/bin/jbig2dec', '-e', '-o', pathout, pathin])
with open(pathout,'rb') as fl:
data = fl.read()
os.unlink(pathin)
os.unlink(pathout)
return data
this solution is not valid for windows / linux... Can you try to rehost the code into python natively ?
This is untested and may cause issues due to opening the same file twice on Windows, but should in general be OS-independent:
class JBIG2Decode:
@staticmethod
def decode(
data: bytes,
decode_parms: Optional[DictionaryObject] = None,
**kwargs: Any,
) -> bytes:
# decode_parms is unused here
with NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".jbig2") as infile:
infile.write(data)
infile.seek(0)
result = subprocess.run(
[shutil.which("jbig2dec"), "--embedded", "--output", "-", infile],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE
)
return result.stdout
The utility jbig2dec is available for other platforms.
I am looking into porting the decompressor to python. There are about 20 separate source files to convert. I’ll work on it but it will take time!!

I experimented with this to some extent previously. The version of Jbig2 that I used does not pipe output to standard out, need a file.Sent from my iPadOn Jun 4, 2024, at 7:13 AM, Matthew DeCaro @.> wrote:The utility jbig2dec is available for other platforms.

Liked your suggestions!!! I'll still try porting to python (at my pace unfortunately).
Here is the updated file. filters.py.zip
