CMYK Image display on pdf using pdfbox

Question

I am trying to create pdf in java using pdfbox 1.8, but problem is I am not able to show CMYK image on pdf so I try to solution on same like below code:

File filePath = new File("C:/Users/msuryawanshi/Documents/10734730431625_C1LA.jpg");
JPEGImageDecoder jpegDecoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new FileInputStream(filePath));
BufferedImage image = jpegDecoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
imageUrl = "http://extranet.handgards.com/gs1/10734730431625_C1LA.jpg";
File f = new File("C:/Users/msuryawanshi/Documents/10734730431625_C1LA.jpg");
String url = "http://extranet.handgards.com/gs1/10734730431625_C1LA.jpg";
Iterator readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("JPEG");
ImageReader reader = null;
while (readers.hasNext()) {
    reader = (ImageReader) readers.next();
    if (reader.canReadRaster()) {
        break;
    }
}

//Stream the image file (the original CMYK image)
ImageInputStream input = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(f);
reader.setInput(input);
//Read the image raster
Raster raster = reader.readRaster(0, null);

//Create a new RGB image
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(raster.getWidth(), raster.getHeight(),
        BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR);
//Fill the new image with the old raster
bi.getRaster().setRect(raster);
PDXObjectImage ximage = new PDPixelMap(document, bi);
contentStream.drawXObject(ximage, margin + 5, texty, 170, 100);

but image is not meaningful, I have attached output pdf and original image which i want display on my pdf. please help for the same.

PDFBox doesn't support embedding CMYK images at all because java itself can't read such images. You might be able to embed it as an RGB image by using the twelvemonkeys library instead of Java ImageIO to read the JPEG into a BufferedImage. From there, just use PDPixelMap (in 1.8) or LosslessFactory (in 2.0).
