Identifying end of page while building the document

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,


I am using Aspose.Words for .Net version 14.6. While building a document, before adding a paragraph i need to identify if the paragraph would fit within the page or not, if not i want to insert a page break and then add the paragraph.
Please let me know if there is a way to achieve the same using Aspose API’s.

Hi Mantu,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Aspose.Words uses our own Rendering Engine to layout documents into pages. The Aspose.Words.Layout namespace provides
classes that allow to access information such as on what page and where
on a page particular document elements are positioned, when the document
is formatted into pages. Please read about LayoutCollector and
LayoutEnumerator from here:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/LayoutCollector+class
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/LayoutEnumerator+class

In
your case, I suggest you please use the
LayoutCollector.getStartPageIndex method to get 1-based index of the
page where node begins. I suggest you following solution for your
scenario.

1) Get the page number of last node of document using LayoutCollector.getStartPageIndex
2) Insert the new Paragraph which you want to insert and get the Paragraph object
3) Get the page number of last Run node of inserted Paragraph. If this Paragraph has only one Run node, please insert a Run node with empty text at the end of this paragraph and get the page number of this new run node.
4) If page number (in first step) is not equal to the page number (get in step 3), please
insert the page break at the position of inserted paragraph.

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Thanks Tahir for your response. I actually have the paragraph as part of a frame hence it does not go over to the next page. It continues to add the paragraphs within the current page till it becomes invisible. I wanted to know if it is possible to find out if the paragraph added to the frame has reached the lower bounds of the page. If i can know it then i can add a page break before adding the next frame paragraph while building the document.

Hi Tahir,


I have attached an image of the problem (see the box in red) i am facing. If you see i need to add specific content to a frame so that it gets displayed on the right of the page. However if there is lot of content to be shown in the frame it gets hidden visually at the end of the page does not flow over to the next page. Before we add the paragraph to the frame is there is a way to identify that paragraph within the frame has reached end of page and if so then add a normal paragraph with page break so that we can move to a new page and then add the frame paragraphs again. Let me know your views.
