Extend PDF Page Size From Bottom using C++

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello, I have a PDF page that contains some tables. I am filling this table with the information from our PDM system. Most of our pages contain tables that have 10 rows but sometimes I need to add some extra rows. When I add the rows, I must also extend my page downwards. But I couldn’t achieve it. When I try to change my page size with “document->get_Pages()->idx_get(1)->SetPageSize(842.4, 1000)”, it extends upwards. I am using c++, could you help me to solve it.

You can find the code below. If you uncomment the SetPageSize row you can see the error.
In addition that I cannot add the last column of the table.

// ConsoleApplication1.cpp : This file contains the 'main' function. Program execution begins and ends there.

//
#include “Header.h”

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace std;
using namespace Aspose::Pdf;
using namespace Aspose::Pdf::Text;

int main()
{
String _dataDir(“C:\Temp\pdf\”);
String inputFileName(“Problem1.pdf”);
String outputFileName(“Problem1_out.pdf”);

//Load source PDF document
auto document = MakeObject<Document>(_dataDir + inputFileName);

// Initializes a new instance of the Table
auto table = MakeObject<Table>();

// Set the table border color as LightGray
table->set_Border(MakeObject<Aspose::Pdf::BorderInfo>(Aspose::Pdf::BorderSide::All, .25f, Aspose::Pdf::Color::get_Black()));
// Set the border for table cells
table->set_DefaultCellBorder(MakeObject<Aspose::Pdf::BorderInfo>(Aspose::Pdf::BorderSide::All, .25f, Aspose::Pdf::Color::get_Black()));

string ColumnWidths[] = {
	"33.5",

	"85.0",

	"100"};

string str_ColumnWidths;
for (int ColumnWidths_count = 0; ColumnWidths_count < sizeof(ColumnWidths) / sizeof(ColumnWidths[0]); ColumnWidths_count++)
{
	str_ColumnWidths = str_ColumnWidths + ColumnWidths[ColumnWidths_count] + " ";
}
String str_ColumnWidths_(str_ColumnWidths);

table->set_ColumnWidths(str_ColumnWidths_);

// Create MarginInfo object and set its left, bottom, right and top margins
auto margin = MakeObject<MarginInfo>();
margin->set_Top(179.0f);
margin->set_Left(-38.0f);
//margin->set_Right(5.0f);
//margin->set_Bottom(5.0f);
table->set_Margin(margin);

// Create a loop to add 10 rows
for (int row_count = 0; row_count < 20; row_count++)
{
	// Add row to table
	auto row = table->get_Rows()->Add();
	row->set_FixedRowHeight(28);

	// Add table cells
	for (int column_count = 0; column_count < sizeof(ColumnWidths) / sizeof(ColumnWidths[0]); column_count++)
	{
		row->get_Cells()->Add();
	}
}

// Add table object to first page of input document
document->get_Pages()->idx_get(1)->get_Paragraphs()->Add(table);

//document->get_Pages()->idx_get(1)->SetPageSize(842.4, 1000);

// Save updated document containing table object
document->Save(_dataDir + outputFileName);

}
