Hi All

I am using aspose.total for different purposes. I was able to generate the pdf from different sources but when i try to set the pagesize and orientation of individual page programmatically i was able to set for the entire document.

If someone knows how to set the pagesize and orientation of individual page for any given pdf document it will be of great help.

Hi,

If you are using Aspose.Pdf then the page size is applied to each section. You can only set page sizes for whole sections. For more information please consult http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Pdf/Api/Set-Page-Size-and-Margins.html

You ccan use Aspose.Pdf.Kit to set page size for individual pages. For more information please consult http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Pdf.Kit/Api/Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfPageEditor.html

Thanks.

Hi Adeel

Thanks for the response. I have tried using PdfPageEditor and tried accessing the Pages object but got error saying 'get accessor is not defined'. Is that the right way i am trying or if you can throw me a little sample that will help me a lot.

Hi,

Here is the code for your convenience. Please make sure that the source and destination PDF's should be different.

[C#]

PdfPageEditor pdfchanger = new PdfPageEditor();

pdfchanger.BindPdf(@"D:\AsposeTest\ChangeFile.pdf");

//Apply the changes to Page 1 only

pdfchanger.Pages = new int[1] { 1 };

Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PageSize pg = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PageSize();

pdfchanger.Save(@"D:\AsposeTest\AfterChanges.pdf");

Thanks.

Hi Adeel

The code worked great. My need is pick the orientation of each page from the changefile and change the height,width property keeping the orientation intact.

So what i need is to pick the pagesize for each page and set the pagesize with standard height and width keeping the orientation of each page intact. If i set only height and width without setting the orientation, it defaults to portrait.

Also i have tried to set the pagesize of third page with the code

            pdfchanger.Pages = new int[1] { 3 };

i expeted it to change the page size of page number 3 but i got the page settings changed for page 1. Kindly let me know if i am doing something wrong

thanks & regards

Hi,

I have tested the your code as was able to reproduce the error. I have logged this as PDFKITNET-4341 in our issue tracking system. We will try our best to resolve this as soon as possible.

For setting the orentation you can use PageSize.IsLandscape property.

Thanks.

Hi Adeel

Thanks for the quick response. Kindly let me know as soon as you have a solution for this. We have licenced aspose.total and this functionality is important for our application.

Hi Felix & Adeel

I have tested the beta and it works. Pointing to my issue i have described above, i want to pick the previous setting of each page before setting the pagesize for each individual page. PdfPageEditor.Pages throws 'lacks get accessor'. Can you throw me a sample code to pick the page and set the page settings for each page for any given pdf.

Thanks in advance.

regards

Hi S.Saba,

The following is a sample. Here I  only get the previous setting of  one page.

public void Test_getAndSetPages()
  {
   
   float  pageHeight,pageWidth;
   int  pageRotation;
   String thePdf = In_Path+"test.pdf";

   PdfFileInfo fileInfo = new PdfFileInfo(thePdf);      
       //get original info of page 1
   pageHeight = fileInfo.GetPageHeight(1);
   pageWidth = fileInfo.GetPageWidth(1);
   pageRotation = fileInfo.GetPageRotation(1);

      //adjust pagesize
   PageSize pSize = new PageSize();
   pSize.Width = pageWidth+150;
   pSize.Height = pageHeight+200;
      //adjust rotation
   pageRotation =pageRotation+90;

      //to reset pages
   PdfPageEditor pageEditor = new PdfPageEditor();
   pageEditor.BindPdf(thePdf);
   pageEditor.Pages=new int[4]{1,3,4,5};  //to reset all pages,just comment this line;
   pageEditor.PageSize = pSize;
   //pageEditor.Zoom=0.5f;                      // need zoom?
   pageEditor.Rotation=pageRotation;
   pageEditor.Save("D:\\pagesSetSample.pdf");
  
  }

Hi Felix

Thanks for the sample and it sloved my need with one exception. I am not sure if my approach is correct. I am little confused with PageRoatation and IsLandscape. In the sample, i was expecting to get the IsLandscape property for the page which is missing in PdfFileInfo class. Instead you are using GetPageRoation. Is that by design or there is a way i can get the IsLandscape property for the given page?

regards

S.Saba

Hi,

Please use the GetRotation method as we have not implemented a seperate IsLandscape property because the GetRotation methods performs the same task.

Thanks.
