TrimBox

How do I set TrimBox area? Please, any piece of code (Visual Basic 2010).

Yours

Hello,

You can set TrimBox dimensions without any problem using our DynamicPDF Merger for .NET product. You will need to use the ExtendedPageDimensions class to do this. Below is the sample code for it.

            Dim document As Document =  New Document()
            Dim page As Page =  New Page(590,690)
            document.Pages.Add(page)
            Dim pageDimensions As PageDimensions =  page.Dimensions
            Dim extendedPageDimensions As ExtendedPageDimensions =  New ExtendedPageDimensions(pageDimensions.Edge,pageDimensions.Body)
            extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Width = 100
            extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Height = 100
            extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Bottom = 100
            page.Dimensions = extendedPageDimensions
            document.Draw("C:\MyDocument.pdf")

If your application is targeting version 4.0 .NET framework then you will need to use our version 6 DynamicPDF Merger for .NET product dll. You will have to reference ceTe.DynamicPDF.40.dll in your application.

Dim document As Document =  New Document()
Dim page As Page =  New Page(590,690)
Ddocument.Pages.Add(page)
Dim pageDimensions As PageDimensions =  page.Dimensions
Dim extendedPageDimensions As ExtendedPageDimensions =  New ExtendedPageDimensions(pageDimensions.Edge,pageDimensions.Body)
extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Width = 100
extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Height = 100
extendedPageDimensions.TrimBox.Bottom = 100
page.Dimensions = extendedPageDimensions
document.Draw("C:\MyDocument.pdf")

'------------------ Following inclusion of code:

Dim tb_test As ExtendedPageDimensions
tb_test = New ImportedPage("D:\MyDocument.pdf", 1).Dimensions
MsgBox(tb_test.TrimBox.Width)

message returned by the MsgBox = 590 (as expected - 100).

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

We did some further testing and it seem like the Trim box values are not being read back from the created PDF file. We have forwarded this info to our developers to get their feedback. We will post on the forum once we receive an update from our developers.

I found a bug in version 5.1 and I thought that just will improve this version.
I do not want to buy version 6.0 ... :-(
