Using a Template PDF to create a new pdf

[Niraja]

I have a Template pdf (With company logo as letter head). I want to use this pdf as the first page when I'm creating my pdf. 

Here's my sample code. It creates the letter head in the first page and the rest of the content in a new page.

 

PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
RadFixedDocument document = provider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes(InputFileName));

            using (RadFixedDocumentEditor editor = new RadFixedDocumentEditor(document))
            {

                editor.ParagraphProperties.SpacingBefore = 10;
                editor.ParagraphProperties.HorizontalAlignment = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Editing.Flow.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                editor.InsertParagraph();
                editor.CharacterProperties.FontSize = 40;
                editor.CharacterProperties.Font = boldItalicFont;
                editor.InsertRun("Summary of Proxy Votes");

Hi Niraja,

In this case, you should use the FixedContentEditor instead of the RadFixedDocumentEditor. The FixedContentEditor allows you to edit the existing page and insert the text. With this approach, you need to specify the initial position (bellow the logo). Here is an example of this: 

RadFixedDocument document = provider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\template.pdf"));

SimplePosition simplePosition = new SimplePosition();
simplePosition.Translate(20, 100);

FixedContentEditor contentEditor = new FixedContentEditor(document.Pages[0], simplePosition);
contentEditor.DrawText("Summary of Proxy Votes");

If you want to use the RadFixedDocumentEditor (which I believe is a better approach because you do not need to set the position), you will need to save the logo as an image and insert it to the new document instead of importing the entire document. This way the editor will be able to measure the logo and position it on the page. 

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
