Hello,

I have a multi-page PDF document that I need to split, add some text and then save the pdf page to a BLOB SQL Server field. I created a simple Proof of concept to test if this tool will work for me.

I open the source document in import mode, split into an individual page in a new document, close the new document, reopen the new document in Modify mode, draw some text, save the new document and close it.

I get no errors, however no text is added to the new document page.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the source code:

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim inputdoc As PdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(txtPDFFile.Text, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)

For index As Integer = 0 To inputdoc.PageCount - 1
Dim page As PdfPage = inputdoc.Pages(index)
''inputdoc.Save(txtPDFFile.Text)

Dim filename As String = inputdoc.FullPath.Substring(0, inputdoc.FullPath.LastIndexOf(".pdf")) + _
"(Page " + String.Format("{0:000}", index + 1) + ").pdf"
Dim outputdoc As New PdfDocument(filename)
outputdoc.Pages.Add(page)
outputdoc.Close()

' reopen the new doc to modify and add the unique number
Dim newdoc As PdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(filename, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Modify)
For i As Integer = 0 To newdoc.PageCount - 1
Dim NewPage As PdfPage = newdoc.Pages(i)

Dim gfx As PdfSharp.Drawing.XGraphics = PdfSharp.Drawing.XGraphics.FromPdfPage(NewPage)
Dim font As New PdfSharp.Drawing.XFont("Verdana", 10, XFontStyle.Regular)
gfx.DrawString(TextBox1.Text.ToString(), font, XBrushes.Black, 20, 20, XStringFormat.Default)
newdoc.Save(filename)

newdoc.Close()
Next
Next

inputdoc.Close()
MessageBox.Show("Done...")
Me.Close()
End Sub

Does not give me an error...just does not write anything to the pdf file

Dim outputdoc As New PdfDocument()
Dim pagetmp As PdfPage = outputdoc.Pages.Add(page)
Dim gfx As PdfSharp.Drawing.XGraphics = _
PdfSharp.Drawing.XGraphics.FromPdfPage(pagetmp, XGraphicsPdfPageOptions.Append)
