add Table to a existing PDF, append in the page

[santuvssantu]

Hi,
I've an existing pdf and in the first page middle section i want to insert a table. Can we do it with Spire?
From all the articles I see that the table has to be in an independent/new page. Can we add the table to an existing page?
Appreciate your response.

Thanks

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your response. I've another question.

If not in existing pdf, in a new pdf can we add multiple tables in one page? What I want to do is, add 3 tables in a new page. Is that possible?


Thanks

Hi,

Yes,it is supported. Please refer to the following sample code.

Code: Select all

            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
            PdfBrush brush = PdfBrushes.Black;
            PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 16f, FontStyle.Bold));
   

            String[] data1
                 = {
                    "Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003",
                    "Bolivia;La Paz;South America;1098575;7300000"
                  };
            String[][] dataSource
               = new String[data1.Length][];
            for (int i = 0; i < data1.Length; i++)
            {
                dataSource[i] = data1[i].Split(';');
            }
            //Add the first table
            PdfTable table1 = new PdfTable();
            table1.Style.CellPadding = 2;
            table1.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.Rows;
            table1.Style.HeaderRowCount = 1;
            table1.Style.ShowHeader = true;
            table1.DataSource = dataSource;
            float y = 10;
            PdfLayoutResult result = table1.Draw(page, new PointF(0, y));
            y = y + result.Bounds.Height + 5;

            String[] data2
                 = {
                    "Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population",
                     "El Salvador;San Salvador;North America;20865;5300000",
                    "Guyana;Georgetown;South America;214969;800000",
                    "Jamaica;Kingston;North America;11424;2500000",
                    "Mexico;Mexico City;North America;1967180;88600000"
                  };

            dataSource= new String[data2.Length][];
            for (int i = 0; i < data2.Length; i++)
            {
                dataSource[i] = data2[i].Split(';');
            }
            //Add the second table
            PdfTable table2 = new PdfTable();
            table2.Style.CellPadding = 2;
            table2.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.Rows;
            table2.Style.HeaderRowCount = 1;
            table2.Style.ShowHeader = true;
            table2.DataSource = dataSource;
           
            result = table2.Draw(page, new PointF(0, y));
            y = y + result.Bounds.Height + 5;

            String[] data3
                  = {
                    "Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population",
                    "Nicaragua;Managua;North America;139000;3900000",
                    "Paraguay;Asuncion;South America;406576;4660000",
                    "Peru;Lima;South America;1285215;21600000"
                  };

            dataSource = new String[data3.Length][];
            for (int i = 0; i < data3.Length; i++)
            {
                dataSource[i] = data3[i].Split(';');
            }
            //Add the third table
            PdfTable table3= new PdfTable();
            table3.Style.CellPadding = 2;
            table3.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.Rows;
            table3.Style.HeaderRowCount = 1;
            table3.Style.ShowHeader = true;
            table3.DataSource = dataSource;

            result = table3.Draw(page, new PointF(0, y));

            string output = "result.pdf";
            doc.SaveToFile(output);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(output);
