PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

Hi Team,
In one of the file we received when we try get the graphics object we got the Error WidthandHeightCannotbeNegative . Upon analysis the height value calculated from mediabox rectangle is negative. Is there a way to handle this. Why it's coming as negative value. Any hint would be helpful

not sure if we take the absolute value and assign will make any problem in future. Its working fine when we assign absolute value.

Hi!
You cannot have -5 Euros in your purse. You cannot cut a page to a height of -5 cm.
IMHO negative values make no sense for width and height. Co-ordinates are a different story.
If you think that PDFsharp handles the MediaBox incorrectly, please use the IssueSubmissionTemplate so we can replicate the issue.

Hi Thomas,
PDFSharp throw the error correctly. The below place in the source the value for height with negative value assigned for the mentioned file
Is it the problem with PDF Generator which generates this particular file?

..\PDFsharp\src\foundation\src\PDFsharp\src\PdfSharp\Pdf\PdfPage.cs
============================================
// Setup page size from MediaBox.
var rectangle = Elements.GetRectangle(InheritablePageKeys.MediaBox, true);
_width = XUnit.FromPoint(rectangle.X2 - rectangle.X1);
_height = XUnit.FromPoint(rectangle.Y2 - rectangle.Y1);

Thanks
Hyder
