PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

I've currently got a document I build with migradoc... I then come in and import pages from another pdf at the end. I've basically added a dummy section to the end of the document where I currently put a bookmark and all works well.. (but puts a blank page before the addendum documents.

Is there a way to either append the table of contents section with pdfsharp, or maybe open the document up with pdfsharp, add a bookmark that matches the same name I added in addpagereflink?

I've got this working, but know I could make this cleaner. I'd appreciate any advice.

Hi!
There are several ways. But the MigraDoc bookmark names are not included in the PDF.

You can draw the first imported PDF page on the blank page created by the dummy section. That would be a clean and simple way to avoid the blank page.

Ok I think I understand you... so I created a new section at the end of the doc with a paragraph that literally had nothing but a bookmark.

Then for the pages I intend to append the original pdf with, I've tried to basically get an Ximage from the first pdfpage, and drawimage with it. My problem is that I cant seem to find a successful way to actually get an XImage from that pdf page.

I tried to write the first page to a new document to a memorystream, then do XPdfForm.FromStream(), but it keeps failing with no valid pdf header found on document. If I write to a temp file I get the same error, however opening the file in a pdfviewer I get the first page of the addendum no problem.

I'm undoubtedly overdoing this... is there an easier way to just give me an ximage that I can then write to the last page of the first doc (and then subsequent pages I can just add to the original doc?

I appreciate the time.

Hi!

Check the Two Pages on One sample:

Get an XPdfForm for the PDF file you want to import and draw it like an image.

I've attempted that very thing.

Should XPdfForm.FromFile / FromStream create an image of the entire other pdf, (eg, do I need to first write the first page to another temp stream or file?)

When I do this, no matter what I do, I get an error saying the file / stream doesnt contain a valid PDF header. I've opened it up in adobe/chrome with no problems, and can look at all the original header information... and simply opening as a pdfdocument and adding pages from one doc to the other works like a charm (just broken table of contents).

No. The sample I mentioned does not do anything like that.

Could be a bug in your code, could be an issue with your PDF file.
If you send us a Visual Studio solution that allows us to replicate the issue then we will investigate it.
