Hello,

Is it possible in Aspose.word using 'AppendDocument' to append a back page to a document and not have it included in the page numbering of the original document?

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your query. I have tried to understand your query but unfortunately I have not completely understand your query. It would be great, If you please elaborate your query with more detail.

It seems that you want to insert a document at any location of second document. Please read following documentation link for your kind reference.

Hi Tahir

Hope this makes more sense.

I have two documents, the first has multiple pages and is numbered. The second document is a single page, produced seperately to be used as the back page of the first document.

When I append the second document to the first one it continues the page numbering. is there a way to stop this happening?

Thanks
Keith

Hi
Keith,


Thanks for your inquiry. I would like to supplement Tahir’s answer here i.e. page numbers are represented by PAGE field in MS Word documents. If you use PAGE field in header/footer of your first document, the numbering will be continued in the second document unless you explicitly unlink that header/footer for the second document. For example, please try using the following workaround:

Document firstDoc = new Document(@“c:\test\First.docx”);
Document secondDoc = new Document(@“c:\test\Second.docx”);

secondDoc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters.LinkToPrevious(false);

firstDoc.AppendDocument(secondDoc, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);

firstDoc.Save(@“c:\test\out.docx”);

I hope, this will help.

Many thanks to Tahir and Awais for their replies.

Both these solutions worked.
