// Shows how to create a large document using less memory.
//
// DsPdf provides two approaches to creating a PDF file:
// - The usually more convenient approach: you build the document completely first,
// adding text, graphics and other elements. Then you call Save() on the document
// passing the name of the file, or the stream to save to. This approach allows
// to modify the already created content - e.g. you can insert pages anywhere
// in the document, or modify the already added pages.
// - The StartDoc/EndDoc method: with this approach, you provide the stream
// to save to at the very beginning, before adding any content to the document,
// by calling the StartDoc() method on the document. All content is then written
// directly to that stream, and you cannot go back and update the already created pages.
// To complete the document you call the EndDoc() method. If you try to perform an
// action that is not allowed, an exception will be thrown. While this approach is
// somewhat limiting (e.g. Linearized cannot be set to true in this mode), it uses
// less memory and may be preferable especially when creating very large documents.
//
// This sample demonstrates the StartDoc/EndDoc approach.
//
// Essentially the same code, but without using StartDoc/EndDoc, is demonstrated by the
// LargeDocument2 sample. See also LinearizedPdf.
public class StartEndDoc
{
public int CreatePDF(Stream stream)
{
// Number of pages to generate:
const int N = Common.Util.LargeDocumentIterations;
var doc = new GcPdfDocument();
// Start creating the document by this call:
doc.StartDoc(stream);
// Prep a TextLayout to hold/format the text:
var tl = new TextLayout(72)
{
MaxWidth = doc.PageSize.Width,
MaxHeight = doc.PageSize.Height,
MarginAll = 72,
};
tl.DefaultFormat.Font = StandardFonts.Times;
tl.DefaultFormat.FontSize = 12;
// Start with a title page:
tl.FirstLineIndent = 0;
var fnt = GCTEXT.Font.FromFile(Path.Combine("Resources", "Fonts", "yumin.ttf"));
var tf0 = new TextFormat() { FontSize = 24, FontBold = true, Font = fnt };
tl.Append(string.Format("Large Document\n{0} Pages of Lorem Ipsum\n\n", N), tf0);
var tf1 = new TextFormat(tf0) { FontSize = 14, FontItalic = true };
tl.Append(string.Format("Generated on {0}.", Common.Util.TimeNow().ToString("R")), tf1);
tl.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
tl.PerformLayout(true);
doc.Pages.Add().Graphics.DrawTextLayout(tl, PointF.Empty);
tl.Clear();
tl.FirstLineIndent = 36;
tl.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Leading;
// Generate the document:
for (int pageIdx = 0; pageIdx < N; ++pageIdx)
{
tl.Append(Common.Util.LoremIpsum(1));
tl.PerformLayout(true);
doc.NewPage().Graphics.DrawTextLayout(tl, PointF.Empty);
tl.Clear();
}
// NOTE: Certain operations (e.g. the one below) will throw an error when using StartDoc/EndDoc:
// doc.Pages.Insert(0);
//
// Done - call EndDoc instead of Save():
doc.EndDoc();
return doc.Pages.Count;
