Hello,

is it possible to load an existing PDF file into a MigraDoc document object to modify it there, using the functions of MigaDoc, and to save it with a different filname afterwards?

Background: I want to use this PDF as layout-template, replace some textmarks and save it then.

(i found some answers here in the forum where people say "you can load the PDF into a migra doc document" but the answers did not mention how to load the file!!)

Thanks in advance,
Ralf

Hi!

You can mix PDF pages into a MigraDoc generated PDF file.

We use PDF pages as stationary (PDF contains logos and corporate design, MigraDoc adds the text).

Using the PDF page as a template is not that easy.

Look at this sample:

Look at SamplePage2.
Note: you have to call AddPage and GfxFromPage inside the loop.
Add your stationary from an XImage instead of drawing the rectangle.
You can add any PDFsharp object before or after calling RenderPage.
