PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

I've already seen the recomendation to change to migradoc, but am stuck with sharp for now and can't convert.

I've created a multi-page pdf and it looks just fine. Now I need to go back and add "x of xx" pages in the footer.

Does anyone have an example of doing that??

I don't.

Just keep references to all pages you create and before saving, loop through them and add the text.
Should be simple, even without sample.

should be simple, but When I try to loop back thru the pages, I keep getting an error message about:
"An XGraphics object already exists for this page and must be disposed before a new one can be created."
and I can't find out how to get around this error.

After creating the multi-page document, I then try to loop thru it page by page, and need to get the xgraphics object for each page, but I keep getting this error message.

When you're done drawing the page call


Then you will be able to call

later to add the page number.

Sigh, so simple that I couldn't see the problem. Thanks for the answer. Now its simple.

I never understood why a PdfPage object doesnt have a XGraphics Property?

i.e. Page1.Gfx.DrawString()?

Having to dispose and then create new graphics objects for a page is surely inefficient?

You can keep the XGraphics object.
PDFsharp only prevents creation of a second XGraphics object. Therefore you must dispose it or keep a reference to it.

The creation of a new one shouldn't matter (e. g. no file operation involved).
