Hi,

We have built an application that merges a number of PDF pages together, as part of this process we dynamically create a contents page.

We are dynamically adding the page number to the foot of the merged PDF documents and this is where we've hit a problem. If we try adding dynamic text to a PDF page whose page size (actual dimensions) are small (an example would be 1.98 x 2.81 inches) the DLL throws an error at the point we call opage.Render(strText).

Is writing to small pages a problem you are aware of, we have no control over the PDF's that are pulled into the final file as the customer controls the creating and uploading of the files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the reply. The below is a snap shot of the code that's encountering the problem, the specific line that's breaking on files that have a small page size is oRender_Page.Render(oRoot).

oRender_Page = New AcmRender(docFinalPDF.Pages(intCnt), 0)
oRoot = New AcmContent()

' Create the target
txtCont = New AcmText("Page " & intPgCnt & " of " & docFinalPDF.Pages.Count)

' Create the link and store it in the array
lnkCont = New AcmLink(New AcmText("Page " & intPgCnt & ". " & .Rows(intArrCnt).Item("FFM_DocType") & " - Expiry Date: " & .Rows(intArrCnt).Item("dtmExpiry")))
lnkCont.TargetContent = txtCont
arrLnk(2, intArrCnt) = lnkCont

' Add the target
oRoot.Children.Add(txtCont)

' Render the changes
Try
oRender_Page.Render(oRoot)

' Increase the counters
intPgCnt = intPgCnt + 1

Catch ex As Exception

' If there's an error then catch the name of the file
strDocError = strDocError & .Rows(intArrCnt).Item("FFM_DocType") & vbCrLf
arrLnk(3, intArrCnt) = "ERROR"

End Try

This does only seem to happen on PDF's that have a small page size
