Use PDF as background to another PDF
Yes, it is possible to use a PDF as background to another PDF using our PDF SDK. Please see the sample code below:
using System;
using Bytescout.PDF;
namespace Sample
{
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Document templateDoc = new Document { RegistrationName = "demo", RegistrationKey = "demo" };
Document mainDoc = new Document { RegistrationName = "demo", RegistrationKey = "demo" };
Document resultDoc = new Document { RegistrationName = "demo", RegistrationKey = "demo" };
templateDoc.Load(@"c:\temp\template.pdf");
mainDoc.Load(@"c:\temp\sample.pdf");
// Create GraphicsTemplate object from the first page of the template document
GraphicsTemplate template = templateDoc.Pages[0].SaveAsTemplate();
for (int i = 0; i < mainDoc.Pages.Count; i++)
{
// Create empty page
Page resultPage = new Page(mainDoc.Pages[i].Width, mainDoc.Pages[i].Height);
// Draw the template page as a background before the main content
resultPage.Canvas.DrawTemplate(template, 0, 0);
// Draw main content
GraphicsTemplate mainContentAsTemplate = mainDoc.Pages[i].SaveAsTemplate();
resultPage.Canvas.DrawTemplate(mainContentAsTemplate, 0, 0);
// Add the created page to the result document
resultDoc.Pages.Add(resultPage);
}
// Save result document
resultDoc.Save(@"c:\temp\result.pdf");
resultDoc.Dispose();
templateDoc.Dispose();
mainDoc.Dispose();
}
}
}
