PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi,

I am using pdfsharp to create a pdf. A requirement came in that we need to added a "terms" section that can be very long and flow over a couple of pages. I am trying to implement the MigraDoc stuff because i believe this handles the case automatically. Unfortunately I can only get it to show for the first page and that is all.

here is the code

//this Document is from the MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel

Document doc = new Document();
Section sec = doc.AddSection();
Paragraph terms = sec.AddParagraph();
terms.Format.Font.Name = "Calibri";
terms.Format.Font.Size = "11";
terms.Format.Font.Color = Colors.Black;
terms.Format.KeepTogether = false;

terms.AddText(purchaseOrder.Terms);

DocumentRenderer documentRenderer = new DocumentRenderer(doc);
documentRenderer.PrepareDocument();
documentRenderer.RenderObject(gfx, XUnit.FromCentimeter(2), offset, "19cm", terms);


Offset is an int i have for keeping track of the Y value, purchaseOrder.Terms is a giant string I am trying to get to flow over whatever the number of pages its needs, starting at the Y value of offset. GFX was set up as below


//this pdf document is from the PDFSharp.Pdf.PDFDocument

PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);


Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi,
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
means, that this graphics can draw only to this one page only. It's the reason why you have only one page in your document.

Create Document using MigraDoc, than render entire PdfDocument (with all pages) and after this just modify some pages from rendered instance.


There's an example of mixing Migradoc and PdfSharp in sampes section.

Hope this helps.
