PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Good morning!

Let me start, like many other first-time posters, with high praises for this wonderful package!
I started using MigraDoc to create the PDF files from C# code and it was a breeze to go through the samples and get production-quality PDFs almost in an instant. Big Thank You!

The question I have is about paragraph borders.

Our client provided us with a template which has a double border around one paragraph: the top line is about 3pt and bottom line is 1pt.
They said that we only need to do our best to try and follow, but I though why not reproduce this one too:



How can I create such double border in MigraDoc without using an image?

Hi!
Do you mean "outer" and "inner" (i.e. double border on all four sides)?
Or do you mean two horizontal lines ("top" and "bottom")?

This:


A link to the image just in case as it seems to intermittently show or not: http://picpaste.com/pics/Capture-YyYduz ... 645613.JPG

What I would try:
Add an empty paragraph and set the thick line as its top border.
Add another paragraph (either empty or with the page number) and set the thin line as its top border.

You can set an absolute height for the first paragraph - this will allow you to fine-tune the gap between the lines.

Or this:
Add an empty paragraph and set the thick line as its top border and the thin line as the bottom border.
You can set an absolute height for this paragraph - this will allow you to fine-tune the gap between the lines.
Put the page number into another paragraph.

A table can also be used. I'd try that if the idea with the paragraphs should fail.

Brilliant idea about 2 paragraphs. That's probably the most light-weight approach.
