Hello,

how can I add custom properties on pdf-page "custom" programmatically?

I found nothing in the documentation nor on internet.

Hi,

The link below points to our online documentation. Here you can find more information about adding custom attributes.

https://www.amyuni.com/WebHelp/Amyuni_P ... Method.htm

Example:

Code: Select all

    'Create a text
    With page.CreateObject(Amyuni.PDFCreator.IacObjectType.acObjectTypeText, "Text1")
        .AttributeByName("Left").Value = 1000
        .AttributeByName("Top").Value = 0
        .AttributeByName("Right").Value = 3250
        .AttributeByName("Bottom").Value = 500
        .AttributeByName("BackColor").Value = 192
        .AttributeByName("Hyperlink").Value = "http://www.amyuni.com"
        .AttributeByName("Text").Value = "Amyuni Technologies"
 
        'Create a new attribute named Custom and set its value
        .AddAttribute("Custom", Amyuni.PDFCreator.IacAttributeType.String)
        .Attribute("Custom").Value = "Custom Value"
 
        'retrieve the value for testing
        MsgBox(.Attribute("Custom").Value.ToString)
    End With

Hi Jose,

it definitively doesn't work! "Tuev Rheinland Service GmbH" appears but no custom property named "Tuev"! What is wrong with the code!?
Product\Version: PDF Creator .NET PRO Developer\5.5.0.7

Greetings,
Georg

var pdfDocument = new IacDocument();

var password = string.Empty;

if (pdfDocument.Open(fileRead, password))
{
fileRead.Close();

var fileWrite = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);

var page = pdfDocument.GetPage(1);
pdfDocument.ReportState = IacReportState.acReportStateDesign;

//Create a text

using (IacObject text = page.CreateObject(IacObjectType.acObjectTypeText, "acObjectTypeText"))
{
text.AttributeByName("Left").Value = 1000;
text.AttributeByName("Top").Value = 0;
text.AttributeByName("Right").Value = 3250;
text.AttributeByName("Bottom").Value = 500;
text.AttributeByName("BackColor").Value = 192;
text.AttributeByName("Text").Value = "Tuev Rheinland Service GmbH";

//Create a new attribute named Custom and set its value
text.AddAttribute("Tuev", IacAttributeType.String);
text.Attribute("Tuev").Value = "Tuev Value";
}

if (pdfDocument.Save(fileWrite, iacFileSaveOption))

Hi,

Not sure why you are encountering this issue but the code below adds the custom attribute.

Can you send your PDF document and your resulting PDF document to support@amyuni.com? I will re-test your issue using that document

Code: Select all

using (IacObject text = page.CreateObject(IacObjectType.acObjectTypeText, "acObjectTypeText"))
{
    text.AttributeByName("Left").Value = 1000;
    text.AttributeByName("Top").Value = 0;
    text.AttributeByName("Right").Value = 3250;
    text.AttributeByName("Bottom").Value = 500;
    text.AttributeByName("BackColor").Value = 192;
    text.AttributeByName("Text").Value = "Tuev Rheinland Service GmbH";

    //Create a new attribute named Custom and set its value
    text.AddAttribute("Tuev", IacAttributeType.String);
    text.Attribute("Tuev").Value = "Tuev Value";
    MessageBox.Show(text.Attribute("Tuev").Value.ToString());
}

pdfDocument.Save(fileWrite, Amyuni.PDFCreator.IacFileSaveOption.acFileSaveAll);
