Hi,

I have a PDF file. And it has some common text in each page.
I want to modify that common text, like I want to put current page number in that text suppose.

How can we do it using PDF sharp.

Here you go! Hope this helps.

Code:
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string originalPdf = @"C:\origPdf.pdf";

            CreatePdf(originalPdf);

            using (var doc = PdfReader.Open(originalPdf, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Modify))
            {
                var page = doc.Pages[0];
                var contents = ContentReader.ReadContent(page);

                ReplaceText(contents, "Hello", "Hola");
                page.Contents.ReplaceContent(contents);

                doc.Pages.Remove(page);
                doc.AddPage().Contents.ReplaceContent(contents);
               
                doc.Save(originalPdf);
            }

            Process.Start(originalPdf);

        }

        // Code from http://www.pdfsharp.net/wiki/HelloWorld-sample.ashx
        public static void CreatePdf(string filename)
        {
            // Create a new PDF document
            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
            document.Info.Title = "Created with PDFsharp";

            // Create an empty page
            PdfPage page = document.AddPage();

            // Get an XGraphics object for drawing
            XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);

            // Create a font
            XFont font = new XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic, new XPdfFontOptions(PdfFontEncoding.WinAnsi));

            // Draw the text
            gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black,
              new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height),
              XStringFormats.Center);

            // Save the document...
            document.Save(filename);
            // ...and start a viewer.
        }

        // Please refer to the pdf tech specs on what all entails in the content stream
        // https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf
        public static void ReplaceText(CSequence contents, string searchText, string replaceText)
        {
            // Iterate thru each content items. Each item may or may not contain the entire
            // word if there are different stylings (ex: bold parts of the word) applied to a word.
            // So you may have to replace a character at a time.
            for (int i = 0; i < contents.Count; i++)
            {
                if (contents[i] is COperator)
                {
                    var cOp = contents[i] as COperator;
                    for (int j = 0; j < cOp.Operands.Count; j++)
                    {
                        if (cOp.OpCode.Name == OpCodeName.Tj.ToString() ||
                            cOp.OpCode.Name == OpCodeName.TJ.ToString())
                        {
                            if (cOp.Operands[j] is CString)
                            {
                                var cString = cOp.Operands[j] as CString;
                                if (cString.Value.Contains(searchText))
                                {
                                    cString.Value = cString.Value.Replace(searchText, replaceText);
                                }

                            }
                        }
                    }


                }
            }


        }
    }




Best,
Reas

`page.Contents.ReplaceContent(contents);`

Thank you, but we're not allowed to use pre-release packages in this project, so I downgraded PDFSharp to version 1.50.5147 and it's working fine. Thank you again Thomas!

When nobody evaluates the preview of 6.1.0, then the stable release of 6.1.0 will have the same bugs.
Feel free to stick to 1.50 with hundreds of bugs that were fixed in the meantime.

I can confirm the code works with v6.1.0-preview-1.
(when using a proper FontResolver)

Thanks for the feedback. Sounded like a bug that was already resolved.
