Moving/Shifting pages

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a number of large PDFs that need to have the content moved or shifted over.  The documents were created with almost no margin so the text is all on the left.  I need to move everything on every page to the right about an inch.  In a couple of cases the documents were created in Landscape when they should have been Portrait.  What's the best way to do this?

Thx,

Bob

	you should shift with... the following sequence: - SetGlobalOrigin(1 or 5 or 7) // top left will be the root corner of the pages - SelectPage(1) // iterate all pages of your document. In this example go always to page 1 - CapturePage() // remove this page to hidden memory, // returns ID for use with later DrawCapturedPage() - InsertPages(PageCount+1, 1) // need a new empty page at the end to draw to - SelectPage(PageCount) // goto that page - DrawCapturedPage(ID, Left := +1 inch, Top:=0, Width:=... , Height:=...) // draw with shift of 1 inch to the new page. Keep same values for width and height as your source page. This works with files that fit into your memory. For larger files DA... functions may help. To turn orientation insert the new empty page in the orientation of your choice (e.g. "A4"=Portrait): ... - InsertPages(PageCount+1, 1) - SetPageSize("A4 Landscape") or SetPageSize("A4") // or other formats ...
