Hi

Thanks for your post.
Please refer to the following code to set margins.

Code: Select all

    //Set page margins
            PdfUnitConvertor unitCvtr = new PdfUnitConvertor();
            PdfMargins margin = new PdfMargins();
            margin.Top = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(2f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Bottom = margin.Top;
            margin.Left = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(3f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Right = margin.Left;
 PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages.Add(PdfPageSize.A4,margin);


Full code:

Code: Select all

 PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
            //Margins
            PdfUnitConvertor unitCvtr = new PdfUnitConvertor();
            PdfMargins margin = new PdfMargins();
            margin.Top = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(2f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Bottom = margin.Top;
            margin.Left = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(3f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Right = margin.Left;
          PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages.Add(PdfPageSize.A4,margin);
          //The following is test data
            String text = "Spire.PDF for .NET is a professional PDF API applied to creating, writing, editing, handling and reading PDF files without any external dependencies within .NET ( C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, .NET Core) application.

            String allText = text + text;
            //Create a grid
            PdfGrid grid = new PdfGrid();
            grid.Columns.Add(1);
            //Set the cell padding
            grid.Style.CellPadding = new PdfPaddings(1, 1, 1, 1);
            PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 12f));
            PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat();
            format.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Left;
            PdfGridRow row;
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                row = grid.Rows.Add();
                row.Cells[0].StringFormat = format;
                row.Cells[0].Value = allText;
                row.Cells[0].Style.Font = font;

            }
            PdfLayoutResult result = grid.Draw(page, new PointF(0, 0));
            String output = "result1.pdf";
            pdf.SaveToFile(output);
