Get table origin coordinates inquiry

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,


We generate PDF document using “Generator” API. We create a section and fill it in with a bunch of paragraphs. A paragraph can be text, image, table etc. I wonder if there is any way to get a table’s left top point coordinates after (or before) we add the table to a section. We need to identify if a table would be split.

In your article (Working with Tables in PDF using C#|Aspose.PDF for .NET)
you consider only one page and do not take into account that a table may be placed after many other paragraphs which may increase the pages count.

Please advise.

Hi Dmitry,


Thanks for using our API’s.

I am afraid currently Aspose.Pdf for .NET does not support the feature to manipulate existing tables in PDF file, so I am afraid currently its not supported to determine the Top-Left position of table. However for the sake of implementation, I have logged this
requirement in our issue tracking system under New Features list as PDFNEWNET-36802.
We will further investigate this requirement in details and will keep you
updated on the status of a correction.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Dmitry,


Please try using following code snippet.

[C#]

Document pdfDocument = new Document(inFile);<o:p></o:p>

// Create TableAbsorber object to find tables

TableAbsorber absorber = new TableAbsorber();

// Visit first page with absorber

absorber.Visit(pdfDocument.Pages[1]);

// Get access to first table on page, their first cell and text fragments in it

TextFragment fragment = absorber.TableList[0].RowList[0].CellList[0].TextFragments[1];

// Change text of the first text fragment in the cell

fragment.Text = "hi world";

pdfDocument.Save(outFile);
