 Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 12:39 pm Post subject: MigraDoc: Printing multiple Documents and Page Numbers |
 |
|
Hey guys.
I successfully created my single invoice document by following your sample. I also included page numbers, which is a nice feature itself.
But now I am trying to mass generate invoices, which means I want to generate each single invoice as before, and add it to a "container" document which includes all invoices.
This works fine:
| Code: | Document document = new Document();
OrderCollection orders = ShopServiceManager.Orders().GetOrdersByCustomer(34);
foreach (var order in orders)
{
BL.Documents.Invoice invoice = new BL.Documents.Invoice();
invoice.DocumentCreator = new InvoiceDocument();
invoice.Order = order;
invoice.Print(false);
document.Add(invoice.Document.LastSection.Clone());
}
PdfDocumentRenderer pdfRenderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer(true);
pdfRenderer.Document = document;
pdfRenderer.RenderDocument(); |
The print method sets the property Document of the invoice object to the internally new generated MigraDoc Document. By adding the LastSection I can add the single document to the container doc and print this container document at the and of the game.
This all works. The problem: the page numbers are counted over all single invoice documents within the container doc. For example, if I am printing 6 invoices which are all containing one single page, I should get a result like 6 times "Page 1/1". Instead of that I get "Page 1/6", "Page 2/6" and so on - because the used AddNumPagesField() seems to be counted over all documents (sections).
I was trying to render each single invoice within the loop and add the final rendered result to the container document, but with no success.
I would be very glad if anyone could assist.
Thanks in advance! |

Hi!
How about using AddSectionPagesField() instead?
Don't forget to set section.PageSetup.StartingNumber ...

Hi Thomas,
thanks for your fast response. With AddSectionPagesField() I get the absolute count of pages in the section, but how do I receive the current page number?
P.s.: Is there a documentation available anywhere? It's really a great library, but also a hard trial and error game  |

No change for page number (that's why you have to set the starting number).
Re: documentation:
I press F12 and look what's there.
Press F12 on AddNumPagesField and you'll find AddSectionPagesField.
I knew there was a way to set the starting page of a section; since I didn't find it in Section, I looked in PageSetup.
Apart from Intellisense there are no documents worth mentioning.
The samples are a good source of information.
We had a volunteer for our help project http://wikihost.org/wikis/pdfsharp/ ...
... but he vanished ...

Yes. It's a bit inconsistent I think. For all others:
//Resetting starting number
section.PageSetup.StartingNumber = 1;
// Current Page
AddPageField()
// Total Page Count
AddSectionPagesField()

IntelliSense would be a great help.
I know the situation of open source projects, I am involved in some. But I have not the time to get involved in this too, instead I would pay for a commercial version if offered for a fair price.
Just my 2 cents. Thanks again for your support. |

IntelliSense works.
Did you include the MigraDoc projects in your solution?
Or did you reference the DLLs directly?

It's a bit warm here  Sorry, of course IntelliSense works. But it seems you did not set any XML Comments to provide more meaningful information within the IntelliSense popups. |
