Header on all but first page?

[cherring@cybercsi.com]

I am generating a multipage PDF document. I would like all pages EXCEPT the first page to have a header. How do I set up a header template that does not print on the first page?

Thanks

Chris

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Here is the code for your reference.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPageBase page0 = doc.Pages.Add();       
            PdfTrueTypeFont font1 = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Trebuchet MS", 14f, FontStyle.Regular));
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                page0 = doc.Pages.Add();
                page0.Canvas.DrawString("This is a PDF text header", font1, PdfBrushes.Red, new PointF(0, 0));             
            }         
            doc.SaveToFile("5310.pdf");

My header is contained in a PdfPageTemplateElement, which I have assigned to [document].Template.Top. Is there a way to set up my header template so that it does not render on the first page?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
There is a solution for you. You can create two PDF documents separately. Then, merge them. Suppose your PDF document has 10 pages. First create the first Pdf document which only has the first page and don't have the header. Then, create the second Pdf document which has template. Next, use the merge method in our website to merge the two PDF document. Finally, you get the document you want.

Thanks for your reply. In my case, I don't know how many pages my document will be, so your proposed solution does not seem workable.

Let me explain what I am trying to accomplish; perhaps there is a better approach.

I am generating an Invoice. I use a PdfGrid to render the line-items on the invoice. If there are many line items, the grid might flow to a second (or third, etc) page. When this happens, the second and subsequent pages need to have a header.

What is the best way to accomplish this?
