# RadFixedPage `RadFixedPage` represents a single page in a [RadFixedDocument](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/radfixeddocument). It is the root container for the fixed content, annotations, page settings, and page-level actions that make up one PDF page. Use this article to understand what `RadFixedPage` controls, when to work with it directly, and how to create pages, add content, add annotations, and change page properties. ## What Is RadFixedPage Every PDF document in the RadPdfProcessing model starts with a [RadFixedDocument](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/radfixeddocument). The document contains `RadFixedPage` instances, and each page hosts the visible content and interactive elements for one page in the exported PDF. `RadFixedPage` implements `IContentRootElement`, which makes it the content root for all fixed content elements placed on the page. For a broader view of how pages fit into the document model, see the [RadPdfProcessing model overview](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/general-information). ## When to Use RadFixedPage Work with `RadFixedPage` directly when you need to: * Create a PDF page from scratch and add it to a document. * Access or change the content of a page after you import a document. * Add page-level [annotations](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/annotations/overview) such as links. * Control page geometry, including the media box, crop box, size, and rotation. * Clone an existing page before reusing it in another document. If you load an existing file, import the PDF through [PdfFormatProvider](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/formats-and-conversion/pdf/pdfformatprovider/pdfformatprovider) first. You cannot deserialize a `RadFixedPage` directly from raw PDF bytes because pages are part of the full `RadFixedDocument` structure. ## Key RadFixedPage Members The following properties and methods define most page-level tasks: | Member | Description | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Content` | Holds the collection of fixed content elements that belong to the page. | | `Annotations` | Holds the collection of page [annotations](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/annotations/overview). | | `MediaBox` | Defines the physical page boundaries. Content outside this box is not part of the printable page area. | | `CropBox` | Defines the visible or printable region of the page. By default, it matches the `MediaBox`. | | `Size` | Gets the page size in points, based on the `MediaBox` width and height. For example, `Size(612, 792)` corresponds to US Letter size, which is `8.5 x 11` inches. | | `Rotation` | Gets or sets the page [rotation](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/api/Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Data.Rotation.html) in 90-degree increments. | | `Actions` | Gets the page [actions](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/actions/js-actions/action-collections#pageactioncollection) collection. | | `Clone()` | Creates a deep copy of the page, including its content, annotations, and associated form fields. | ## Operating with RadFixedPage There are several operations, which you can execute directly over a RadFixedPage instance. ### How to Create and Add a RadFixedPage Create a `RadFixedPage` when you build a document programmatically and need to add a page to the `RadFixedDocument.Pages` collection. The following example creates a new page and adds it to a document: #### **Example 1: Create a RadFixedPage and add it to a document** ```C# RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument(); RadFixedPage page1 = new RadFixedPage(); document.Pages.Add(page1); ``` ### Add Content Use the `Content` collection when you want to place fixed elements on a specific page. You can add existing content elements or create new ones through the collection helper methods. The following example adds a previously created content element to a page: #### **Example 2: Add a content element to a RadFixedPage** ```C# RadFixedPage page2 = new RadFixedPage(); page2.Content.Add(contentElement); ``` For simpler scenarios, use the `Add[Element]()` methods on the `Content` collection. Methods such as `AddPath()`, `AddTextFragment()`, and `AddImage()` create the element, add it to the page, and return it for further configuration. When you need higher-level content creation APIs, use [FixedContentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/fixedcontenteditor) for positioned content or [RadFixedDocumentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/radfixeddocumenteditor) for a more flow-based editing model. ### Add Annotation Use the `Annotations` collection when you need to attach interactive elements such as links to a page. The following example adds a previously created annotation to a page: #### **Example 3: Add an annotation to a RadFixedPage** ```C# RadFixedPage page3 = new RadFixedPage(); page3.Annotations.Add(annotation); ``` You can also call `AddLink()` on the `Annotations` collection. That method creates the link annotation, adds it to the page, and returns it so you can configure it immediately. For more detail, see [link annotations in RadPdfProcessing](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/annotations/links). ### Modifying Properties Change page properties when you need to adjust layout, orientation, or the visible page area after the page is created. The following example changes the `Rotation` and `Size` properties of a page: #### **Example 4: Change RadFixedPage properties** ```C# RadFixedPage page4 = new RadFixedPage(); page4.Rotation = Rotation.Rotate270; page4.Size = new Size(792, 1128); ``` Changing `Size`, `MediaBox`, `CropBox`, or `Rotation` affects how PDF viewers display and print the page. Apply those settings before final export whenever possible so layout decisions remain predictable. ## How RadFixedPage Fits into Common Workflows `RadFixedPage` is the page-level object you use regardless of whether you create a document from scratch or edit an imported file: * In document generation workflows, create the page first, then populate it with content and annotations. * In document editing workflows, import the file, get the target page from `RadFixedDocument.Pages`, and then modify its content or settings. * In reuse scenarios, clone a page and add the cloned instance to another document. > note A complete SDK example that generates a PDF document is available in the [Generate Document sample](https://github.com/telerik/document-processing-sdk/tree/master/PdfProcessing/GenerateDocument). ## See Also * [RadPdfProcessing model overview](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/general-information) * [RadFixedDocument](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/radfixeddocument) * [Annotations overview](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/annotations/overview) * [FixedContentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/fixedcontenteditor) * [RadFixedDocumentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/radfixeddocumenteditor)
