I can't find documentation in PDFsharp to show how to add a 2nd page using C#!
As an example, over in VB6 I use a PDF creation method called mjwPDF. To indicate that the page is finished
objPDF.PDFEndPage
And to start a new page:
objPDF.PDFNewPage
My PDFsharp initial settings:
// Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
// Create an empty page
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
//page.Contents.CreateSingleContent().Stream.UnfilteredValue;
// Get an XGraphics object for drawing
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
Unfortunately in PDFsharp I can't find out how to start/write on a new page. I see these commands but can't get a second page started.
document.AddPage();
document.InsertPage();
I've tried both of these but my output continues to write on page 1, not page 2.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the actual code:
private void buttonPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
// Create an empty page
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
