Can write footer to new file but not existing file?

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I am trialing Aspose but cannot get it to work properly. The pdf.Save method is not saving the file after adding footer (unless it is a new file):

Dim ms As New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(“originalfilepath.pdf”))
Dim pdf1 As New Pdf(ms)

Dim sec1 As Section = pdf1.Sections.Add()
Dim hf1 As Aspose.Pdf.Generator.HeaderFooter = New Aspose.Pdf.Generator.HeaderFooter(sec1)
sec1.OddFooter = hf1
sec1.EvenFooter = hf1

’ margins
hf1.Margin.Bottom = 10

’ text
Dim sFontSize As Single = Convert.ToSingle(TaskProcess.Task.PDFAddHeaderFooter.FontSize)
Dim text As New Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text(hf1, “my footer”))
text.TextInfo.FontSize = sFontSize
text.TextInfo.FontName = TaskProcess.Task.PDFAddHeaderFooter.FontName
Dim fontColor As New Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Color(TaskProcess.Task.PDFAddHeaderFooter.Color)
Dim backgroundColor As New Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Color(TaskProcess.Task.PDFAddHeaderFooter.BackgroundColor)
text.TextInfo.Color = fontColor
text.TextInfo.BackgroundColor = backgroundColor
hf1.Paragraphs.Add(text)

pdf1.Save(strNewPath)

Hi Henrik,


Thank for your inquiry. Please note Aspose.Pdf.Generator is old generator and it can only create new PDF document. It is suggested to use Aspose.Pdf(new generator) , it can create a new PDF document and manipulate existing PDF document as well. Please check following documentation link to add footer in existing PDF document, it will help you to accomplish the task.
