PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi,

i have created my pdf document, now i have to add a template (it's a pdf document with logo, footer ...) and write the content into the template.

it's absolute necessary to load my template (because i have to use it for a large number of projects), so i cannot write the logo in every pdf for every project.

Is there a possibility?

Hi!

You can use pages from PDF files as background and have MigraDoc draw the text in front of it.
You can do it the "MigraDoc" way (e.g. by adding the background page to the page header) or the "Mix MigraDoc and PDFsharp" way (see the sample with the same name) by modifying pages with PDFsharp after MigraDoc created them.

Depends on how many different backgrounds you have and where to apply which background.
If there is only a first page (large logo) and a follow-up page (small logo), the "MigraDoc" way will probably be appropriate.

Sample:

(Note that the sample draws several MigraDoc pages on one PDFsharp page - you would do it 1:1, but with added background)

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

But, there is no way to add a source PDF (with all my logos and texts)?
This would be a big big help, because i can't add in every project every logos.

Greetings

I don't understand what you want.

You can use a source PDF with anything it contains - and use MigraDoc to add text, images, etc.

You always create a new PDF, but you can import pages from the source PDF and add MigraDoc content to it.

sorry, my fault.

in my case, in every page there is the same header and the same footer.

so the "migradoc way" is engough.

But how can i add the background to the page header?

I think the code shown here is a good starter:
viewtopic.php?p=4370#p4370

Change this:


Set Width and Height of the image to match the page size.
And don't use "document.DefaultPageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;"

my mistake, sorry! it works perfect!

i think you have developed a very good software, but it would be pleasant if you create a api for users.
