Package PDF (Portfolio)
A PDF package (Package class) combines multiple files to form a single unit. The files embedded within a PDF package can be a wide range of file types from many applications (including PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and text files). The PDF package also contains a PDF that acts as a cover sheet for the package. The style and order that the embedded files appear can also be specified within the DocumentPackage Class.
Document.Package
The Document class contains a Package property. The Package property's value is a DocumentPackage class.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| AscendingOrder | Gets or sets a boolean which specifies the ordering in ascending or descending. Default value is true(Ascending order). |
| OrderBy | Gets or sets the listing order by using the specified AttachmentListingOrderBy enum element. |
| RequiredPdfObjects | Gets the number of PDF objects required by the resource. |
| ResourceType | Gets the type of resource. (Inherited from Resource) |
| Uid | Gets the unique ID of the resource. (Inherited from Resource) |
| ViewList | Gets or sets the AttachmentLayout . Default is detailed layout. |
The following example demonstrates how to create a DocumentPackage and display the embedded files in detail mode sorted in descending order by name.
Document document = new Document();
EmbeddedFile embeddedFile1 = new EmbeddedFile(pdfFilePath);
EmbeddedFile embeddedFile2 = new EmbeddedFile(pdfFilePath);
document.EmbeddedFiles.Add( embeddedFile1 );
document.EmbeddedFiles.Add( embeddedFile2 );
Page page = new Page();
document.Pages.Add( page );
document.Package = new DocumentPackage(AttachmentLayout.Detailed);
document.Package.OrderBy = AttachmentListingOrderBy.Name;
document.Package.AscendingOrder = false;
page.Elements.Add( new Label("Cover Page”, 0, 0, 512, 40, Font.Helvetica, 30, TextAlign.Center ) );
document.Draw(pdfFilePath);
Dim MyDocument As Document = New Document()
Dim MyEmbeddedFile1 As EmbeddedFile = New EmbeddedFile(pdfFilePath)
Dim MyEmbeddedFile2 As EmbeddedFile = New EmbeddedFile(pdfFilePath)
MyDocument.EmbeddedFiles.Add( MyEmbeddedFile1 )
MyDocument.EmbeddedFiles.Add( MyEmbeddedFile2 )
Dim MyPage As Page = New Page()
MyDocument.Pages.Add( MyPage )
MyDocument.Package = New DocumentPackage(AttachmentLayout.Detailed)
MyDocument.Package.OrderBy = AttachmentListingOrderBy.Name
MyDocument.Package.AscendingOrder = False
MyPage.Elements.Add( New Label("Cover Page”, 0, 0, 512, 40, Font.Helvetica, 30, TextAlign.Center ) )
MyDocument.Draw(pdfFilePath)
