PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

I am a new user with Migradoc. I was using pdfsharp but found that it was much easier to have automatic page breaks inserted if what was being inserted was too long for one page. Now that I can get it to go on to the next page, I now need to be able to control when that page break happens. The output is a string consisting of formatted blocks of text separated by line breaks.

I am going to break the string up into a list of strings and then have it put each string in sequence onto the PDF. I would like it to be able to insert a page break if the next string will not fit on the current page. I haven't written any real code for it yet. I am understanding that there is a way to use XGraphics.measurestring() to get the dimensions of the string and then can possibly use that to compare to the size of the PDF page but I am pretty lost.


Thank you, in advanced, for any assistance

Hi!

When using MigraDoc as intended, you do not have to mess around with MeasureString.

With MigraDoc, add each block as a paragraph. Mark this paragraph as KeepTogether. PageBreaks will occur before or after this paragraph, but not inside that paragraph.
