Different margin on last page

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,
Currently I am working on setting different margin on last page only. When I use below code then it changes the margin of all pages.

builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
PageSetup ps = builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup;
ps.TopMargin = ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(3); //Currently it sets margin to all pages

What about changing margin per pages?

I have attached the code? Could you please look into it.

Thank you,

Hi Lakpa,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note there is no page concept in Microsoft Word documents; pages are created by Microsoft Word on the fly and unfortunately there is no direct method you can use to achieve what you need. However, you may split your Document in separate pages using DocumentPageSplitter class from PageSplitter project and create a document with different sections, each page as a separate section. Later you can set page margins of any desired section as following.

You can find PageSplitter project in Aspose.Words for .NET examples repository at GitHub.

Document doc = new Document("Test.doc");
// Create and attach collector to the document before page layout is built.
LayoutCollector layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(doc);
// This will build layout model and collect necessary information.
doc.UpdatePageLayout();
// Split nodes in the document into separate pages.
DocumentPageSplitter splitter = new DocumentPageSplitter(layoutCollector);
// Create a new document to add each page as a separate section.
Document document = splitter.GetDocumentOfPage(1);
for (int i = 2; i <= doc.PageCount; i++)
{
    Aspose.Words.Document dstDoc = splitter.GetDocumentOfPage(i);
    document.AppendDocument(dstDoc, ImportFormatMode.UseDestinationStyles);
}
// Set margin settings of last section
PageSetup lastpageSetup = document.LastSection.PageSetup;
lastpageSetup.TopMargin = ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(3);
lastpageSetup.LeftMargin = ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(2);
document.Save("Test_out.doc");

Best Regards,

Hi Tilal,
Thank you for above code. I downloaded the remaining code from the GitHub link you provided.

The code seems to corrupt the file. The first pages are getting repeated and the page number aren’t properly set.

Since Page concept isn’t available

  • Firstly I save the file to “d:\savedoc”, the pages are OK too.
  • After that I load that file to Aspose.words.Document
  • Put your above changes
  • Download, then the pages are corrupted

I have attached the code, please do check.

Thank you,
