Dear Aspose,

I have a pdf template with page numbers and a heather and footer.

I will insert a pdf page in this template (so that the heather and footer of the template and page numbering don't change). It's like an ImgageField in my template -that I have created in Adobe Acrobat Forms- and then filled with an image (FillImageField ...etc). So: Is there a way to insert a pdf file the same way as I insert an image?

Thanks.

J. Rebel

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

You can insert pages in a Pdf file using PdfFileEditor class. But I don't think you still got the header and footer and page numbering in a sequence. I will discuss this with the developers and we will let you know if we are supporting it or not. To insert pages in Pdf file, please refer to :

I sent you two pdf files in a zipfile.

The template and 'uittreksel7327DA108.pdf'.

When you open the template, on page 3 you see a space where uittreksel7327DA108.pdf must fit in.

(I've tried it with stamp, but I cannot resize 'uittreksel7327DA108.pdf' )

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delayed reply. I'm regret to say that we could not fulfil your requirement to insert pages into Pdf with origin template, header, footer and PageNumber. But you can use PdfPageEditor and PdfFileStamp to fill a Pdf page to page 3's space. the code list here:

PdfPageEditor editor = new PdfPageEditor();
editor.BindPdf(TestPath + "src.pdf");
//resizes the src Pdf file to (200, 200)
Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PageSize pagesize = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PageSize(200, 200);
editor.PageSize = pagesize;
editor.Save(TestPath + "temp.pdf");

Stamp stamp = new Stamp();
stamp.BindPdf(TestPath + "temp.pdf", 1);
//sets the origin position for stamping
stamp.SetOrigin(100, 100);
stamp.Pages = new int[1]{3};
PdfFileStamp fileStamp = new PdfFileStamp(TestPath + "Template.pdf",
    TestPath + "result.pdf");
fileStamp.AddStamp(stamp);

fileStamp.Close();

Georgie Yuan,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

After your suggestion I tried the following:

//Resize the insertPage

PdfPageEditor pageEditor = new PdfPageEditor();

pageEditor.BindPdf(insertFile);

pageEditor.Zoom = (float)0.95;

pageEditor.Save(resizedInsertFile);

Stamp pdfFileStamp = new Stamp();

pdfFileStamp.BindPdf(resizedInsertFile, 1);

//Set origin

pdfFileStamp.SetOrigin(100, 100);

int[] page = { 1 };

pdfFileStamp.Pages = page;

PdfFileStamp stamper = new PdfFileStamp(inFile, outFile);

stamper.AddStamp(pdfFileStamp);

stamper.Close();

=================

Now I can zoom the inserted page. That's fine. That's what I want. However, I cannot Set the Origin with pdfFileStamp.SetOrigin  Nothing changes when I choose another values. What I want: I will change the position of the inserted and resized pdf page a little bit, so that it can be placed more in the centre of the new page.

Thanks,

Jaco Rebel

Georgie Yuan,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately it doesn't do anything better than before.

What I did:

I removed  Aspose.Pdf.Kit.dll and Aspose.Pdf.Kit.xml  in C:\Program Files\Aspose\Aspose.Pdf.Kit\Bin\net2.0 and placed your newer ones

After replacing I tried the following again:

//Resize the insertPage

PdfPageEditor pageEditor = new PdfPageEditor();

pageEditor.BindPdf(insertFile);

pageEditor.Zoom = (float)0.95;

pageEditor.Save(resizedInsertFile);

Stamp pdfFileStamp = new Stamp();

pdfFileStamp.BindPdf(resizedInsertFile, 1);

//Set origin

pdfFileStamp.SetOrigin(100, 100);

int[] page = { 1 };

pdfFileStamp.Pages = page;

PdfFileStamp stamper = new PdfFileStamp(inFile, outFile);

stamper.AddStamp(pdfFileStamp);

stamper.Close();

=================

pdfFileStamp.SetOrigin(100, 100); doesn't do anything, what value I used for SetOrigin.

What I want: I will change the position of the inserted and resized pdf page a little bit, so that it can be placed more in the centre of the new page and I think I have to do that with SetOrigin.

Thanks,

Jaco Rebel

Hi,

I have checked SetOrigin() function with this new Dlls attached in this forum and found that it is working fine. To make sure that you are using the latest version of Aspose.Pdf.Kit. Do the following steps:

1. Remove the Aspose.Pdf.Kit.dll from the references in the Solution explorer

2. Add a reference -> Browse to the New Dll.

3. Check the version of the dll by Right clicking it from the references in the Solution explorer. The version should have to be 2.5.2.0.

Please try it again. Hope it will work.

If you need more help, please do let us know.

Thanks.

Adeel Ahmad,

My reference was wrong indeed.

I changed it the way you descibed it so clearly and now it works very fine.

Thanks.
