The following Delphi code works in single generated PDF's, but not merged and scanned PDFs. The code simply adds a page numbers to the top of each page of the merged document. I have verified that the code/loop is executing. if UnlockResult = 1 then If PDFLibrary.LoadFromFile(OutputFullFilename,'') <> 0 then begin CurrentPage := 2; PageCounter := PDFLibrary.PageCount; PDFLibrary.SetPageSize('Legal'); PDfLibrary.SetTextSize(4); PDFLibrary.SetNeedAppearances(1); PDFLibrary.SetTextUnderline(1); For CurrentPage := 2 to PageCounter do begin PDFLibrary.SelectPage(CurrentPage); PDFLibrary.SetOrigin(1); PDFLibrary.DrawText(700,10,'Merged Page ' + IntToStr(CurrentPage) + ' of ' + IntToStr(PageCounter)); end; PDFLibrary.SaveToFile(OutputFullFilename); end; ///load check TIA, John

SORRY! It works...the horizontal number (700) was pushing the numbering off of the page. John

One clarification... The drawtext method does not appear to work with PDF's that originated as scans of hard copy. What am I missing? TIA, John

Try calling the NormalizePage function before drawing your text on the scanned documents - they might have rotation applied. Here's the documentation on the NormalizePage function: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/NormalizePage.php" rel="nofollow - http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/NormalizePage.php Of note in the description of the function: "Moves and/or rotates the contents of the page so that subsequent drawing operations are at the expected position on the page.
