Change page numbers in EvoPDF - evopdf

Question

Within a pdf it is possible to change page numbering, so the first page would be page 5, etc.
(This has nothing to do with headers and footers, i'm speaking strictly about the page numbers as they appear in the pdf toolbar)
Is it possible to control those numbers with EvoPDF?

Answer 1

Yes, apparently with EVOPDF v5 you can set the number to be displayed on the page using the PageNumberingStartIndex property of the PdfHeaderOptions object (same for Footers). I don't know of any examples using this.

Answer 2

It is not possible to change the page numbering displayed by Adobe Reader using an option in the generated PDF document. What you can do is to make the PDF viewer go to a certain page in PDF document when the document is opened. You can check the Go To a Location in a PDF Page When the Document is Opened Demo . The C# code to implement this feature is:
protected void convertToPdfButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a HTML to PDF converter object with default settings
HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();
// Set license key received after purchase to use the converter in licensed mode
// Leave it not set to use the converter in demo mode
htmlToPdfConverter.LicenseKey = "4W9+bn19bn5ue2B+bn1/YH98YHd3d3c=";
Document pdfDocument = null;
try
{
// Convert a HTML page to a PDF document object
pdfDocument = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrlToPdfDocumentObject(urlTextBox.Text);
int goToPageNumber = int.Parse(pageNumberTextBox.Text);
if (goToPageNumber > pdfDocument.Pages.Count)
{
return;
}
// Get destination PDF page
PdfPage goToPage = pdfDocument.Pages[goToPageNumber - 1];
// Get the destination point in PDF page
float goToX = float.Parse(xLocationTextBox.Text);
float goToY = float.Parse(yLocationTextBox.Text);
PointF goToLocation = new PointF(goToX, goToY);
// Get the destination view mode
DestinationViewMode viewMode = SelectedViewMode();
// Create the destination in PDF document
ExplicitDestination goToDestination = new ExplicitDestination(goToPage, goToLocation, viewMode);
// Set the zoom level when the destination is displayed
if (viewMode == DestinationViewMode.XYZ)
goToDestination.ZoomPercentage = int.Parse(zoomLevelTextBox.Text);
// Set the document Go To open action
pdfDocument.OpenAction.Action = new PdfActionGoTo(goToDestination);
// Save the PDF document in a memory buffer
byte[] outPdfBuffer = pdfDocument.Save();
// Send the PDF as response to browser
// Set response content type
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
// Instruct the browser to open the PDF file as an attachment or inline
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename=Go_To_Page_Open_Action.pdf; size={0}", outPdfBuffer.Length.ToString()));
// Write the PDF document buffer to HTTP response
Response.BinaryWrite(outPdfBuffer);
// End the HTTP response and stop the current page processing
Response.End();
}
finally
{
// Close the PDF document
if (pdfDocument != null)
pdfDocument.Close();
}
}
