How to push drawing down the page to add custom heading

Aspose.CAD Product Family

Hello,
I am converting a dwg file to a pdf. Then I need to insert a heading (“CAD Drawing”) at the very top of the page. As you can see in this image: image.png (46.5 KB)
the text is over the image. My question is how to push the drawing down and so to have space for the heading. Here is the code I am using:

using (Aspose.CAD.Image cadImage = Aspose.CAD.Image.Load(cadFile))
{
CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions
{
PageWidth = cadImage.Width * 3 + 20,
PageHeight = cadImage.Height * 3,
DrawType = Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad.CadDrawTypeMode.UseObjectColor,
GraphicsOptions = new GraphicsOptions
{
TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel,
},
Zoom = 1f,
};

  var opt = new PdfOptions { VectorRasterizationOptions = rasterizationOptions};
  cadImage.Save(tempPath, opt);

}

Aspose.Pdf.Document doc6 = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(tempPath);
var pg = doc6.Pages[1];
Heading title = new Heading(1);
title.Text = “CAD Drawing”;
title.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
title.TextState.FontSize = 30;
pg.Paragraphs.Insert(0, title);
doc6.Save(outputPath);

@mpogorelov,

Can you please confirm if you i understood correct that you want to first convert file to PDF than add heading in that PDF.

Yes, that is correct.

@mpogorelov

Please note that existing contents can be moved in DOCX files but not in PDF files because the content is present as plain text on the page. Neither the API knows boundaries of existing paragraphs, images etc so you may not be able to push contents.in PDF documents.

Can I do something in Aspose.CAD.Image object prior to conversion to pdf ?
Or let me rephrase the whole question, how can I create a pdf page that has a heading text and cad drawing based on a source dwg file?
Than you

@mpogorelov,

I have worked with sample project shared by you using Aspose.CAD 19.9 and unable to observe any exception. I have also shared my generated result with you for your kind reference. Please check attachment.tmp.pdf (396.3 KB)

@mpogorelov,

Thank you for sharing the feedback.

@Adnan.Ahmad, how could I move the text a bit down so its not right on top of the page?

18

@mpogorelov,

Yes, you may change text height using code that i have shared with you. Please share feedback with us if there is still an issue.

@Adnan.Ahmad
Text height controls the size of the text, I need something like Margin.Top to move the text a bit down.

@mpogorelov,

I like to inform that you need to position text. Please modify following in the sample which i have shared with you so that you may get your desire position of text.
