How do I get a page number to be in front of a floating box that has a background color?

public string VerifyPageNumbersOverBox()
{
	int numberOfPages = 10;
	float margin = 50;
	Document doc = new Document();

	for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPages; i++)
	{
		var page = doc.Pages.Add();
		string footerText = "This is a floating box";
		page.PageInfo.Margin = new MarginInfo(margin, margin, margin, margin);

		FloatingBox footerBox = new FloatingBox((float)page.MediaBox.Width, 180);
		footerBox.Left = -margin;
		footerBox.Top = (float)page.MediaBox.Height - footerBox.Height;
		footerBox.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 0, 0, 0);

		footerBox.Padding = new MarginInfo(margin, 0, 0, 15);

		if (i % 2 == 1)
		{
			//odd pages have a color
			footerBox.BackgroundColor = Color.Yellow;
			footerText += " with a yellow background color that hides the page number";
		}

		var title = new TextFragment(footerText);
		title.TextState.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
		title.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.Black;
		title.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 7, 0, 0);
		footerBox.Paragraphs.Add(title);

		page.Paragraphs.Add(footerBox);

		//create page number stamp
		PageNumberStamp pageNumberStamp = new PageNumberStamp();
		//the stamp is NOT in the background
		pageNumberStamp.Background = false;
		pageNumberStamp.BottomMargin = 45;

		pageNumberStamp.Format = "#";
		pageNumberStamp.StartingNumber = 1;

		//set text properties
		pageNumberStamp.TextState.FontSize = 11;
		pageNumberStamp.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Regular;
		pageNumberStamp.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.FromGray(.4);

		pageNumberStamp.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
		pageNumberStamp.RightMargin = 60;

		page.AddStamp(pageNumberStamp);
	}

	string exportPath = Path.Combine(ExportFolderPath, "PageNumbers.pdf");
	doc.Save(exportPath);

	return exportPath;
}

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your inquiry. We have noticed the reported issue with Floating Box background issue. So, logged a ticket PDFNEWNET-38838 in our issue tracking system for further investigation and resolution. As a workaround, you may try TextFragment to add page number as following.

....
....

//Add footer text
String pagenumber = (i + 1).ToString();

Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment fTxt = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment(pagenumber);

fTxt.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont("Arial");

fTxt.TextState.FontSize = 16;

fTxt.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Pdf.HorizontalAlignment.Right;

footerBox.Paragraphs.Add(fTxt);
....
....

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Best Regards,
