Hi,
I encounter a strange behaviour when generating a new PDF from an existing one.
My requirements are that I must generate 3 PDFs in chain using the previous ones.
Here is a simple code from a console project that demonstrates what is happening:
Code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string folder = "c:\\Test";
//red, yellow, green, blue
string[] colors = { "#ff0000", "#ffff00", "#00ff00", "#0000ff" };
for (int i = 0; i < colors.Length; i++)
{
string first = Path.Combine(folder, "pdfOne.pdf");
string second = Path.Combine(folder, "pdfTwo.pdf");
string third = Path.Combine(folder, "pdfThree.pdf");
CreateFirstPDF(first, colors[i]);
CreatePDF(second, first);
CreatePDF(third, second);
}
}
static void CreateFirstPDF(string destination, string colorHEX)
{
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
XColor color = XColor.FromArgb(ColorTranslator.FromHtml(colorHEX));
gfx.Clear(color);
document.Save(destination);
document.Close();
}
static void CreatePDF(string destination, string basePDF)
{
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
XPdfForm basePDFForm = XPdfForm.FromFile(basePDF);
gfx.DrawImage(basePDFForm, new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height));
document.Save(destination);
document.Close();
}
Somehow, when the loop runs the first time, everything works perfect but on the following times, the third PDF is different from the second PDF.
The three times that a I run this code I ended up with the following results:
pdfOne.pdf => blue
pdfTwo.pdf => blue
pdfThree.pdf => red
I even tried deleting all the files in the directory on each iteration but the results were the same.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Peter
