# PDFPicture Object (IPDFPicture Interface)

This object represents a picture added to a PDF file. It provides access to the original image that can be modified using methods of the [ImageDocument](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/image-related-objects/imagedocument) object. It also exposes methods that allow you to manage the picture position or even remove it from the page.

<Warning>
  When exporting to PDF, ABBYY FineReader Engine does not preserve the picture transparency.
