To add a table or text at a specific location in a PDF document using Aspose.PDF, you can follow these steps. Below is a sample code snippet in C# that demonstrates how to create a table and position it on a specific page of a PDF document.

Sample Code in C#

using System;
using Aspose.Pdf;

namespace AsposePdfExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a new PDF document
            Document pdfDocument = new Document();
            // Add a page to the document
            Page page = pdfDocument.Pages.Add();

            // Create a table
            Table table = new Table();
            // Set the table border
            table.Border = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, 0.5f, Color.LightGray);
            // Set the default cell border
            table.DefaultCellBorder = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, 0.5f, Color.LightGray);

            // Add rows and cells to the table
            for (int rowCount = 1; rowCount <= 3; rowCount++)
            {
                Row row = table.Rows.Add();
                row.Cells.Add("Column " + rowCount + ", Cell 1");
                row.Cells.Add("Column " + rowCount + ", Cell 2");
            }

            // Set the position of the table
            table.ColumnWidths = "100 100"; // Set column widths
            table.Margin.Top = 100; // Set top margin
            table.Margin.Left = 50; // Set left margin

            // Add the table to the page
            page.Paragraphs.Add(table);

            // Save the document
            pdfDocument.Save("output.pdf");
            Console.WriteLine("Table added successfully to the PDF document.");
        }
    }
}

Explanation

  1. Create a Document: Start by creating a new PDF document and adding a page to it.
  2. Create a Table: Instantiate a Table object and set its border properties.
  3. Add Rows and Cells: Populate the table with rows and cells.
  4. Set Position: Adjust the margins of the table to position it at a specific location on the page.
  5. Add to Page: Finally, add the table to the page’s paragraphs and save the document.

This code will create a PDF file named output.pdf with a table positioned according to the specified margins. You can adjust the Margin.Top and Margin.Left properties to change the table’s position as needed.
