How to add page numbers to your PDF
This article shows how to add page numbers to PDF using TallPDF built-in features.
We will build a simple structure based on TallPDF’s objects and using html content create a paged PDF document.
Code sample to add page numbers to PDF in C#:
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
// prepare our document
Document document = new Document();
// document may have one or more section, create one here
Section section = new Section();
document.Sections.Add(section);
// adding a fragment where page number will be generated
Fragment pagenumbers = new Fragment("#p/#P", 12);
pagenumbers.HasContextFields = true;
TextParagraph textParagraph = new TextParagraph();
textParagraph.Fragments.Add(pagenumbers);
// footer will be repeated in each page, a good place to put our page number
section.Footer = new Footer();
section.Footer.Paragraphs.Add(textParagraph);
using (FileStream inputFile = File.Open("input.html", FileMode.Open))
{
// add page content to the section here
XhtmlParagraph htmlParagraph = new XhtmlParagraph(inputFile);
section.Paragraphs.Add(htmlParagraph);
}
// save the result to PDF
using (Stream stream = new FileStream("out.pdf", FileMode.Create))
{
document.Write(stream);
}
}
