Add page numbers to a PDF file

[theywood]

Can you tell me how to add page numbers to an existing PDF file using the SDK? I am looking for VB code that will do what the PDF-Tools program can do in terms of adding page numbers.

Hello theywood,

I believe there is no built in ready to use function I am afraid so you will need to program it yourself using the manipulation functions available in the XCPRO40 LIB.

Best,
Stefan

Can you point me to the right functions to use? I read a message about creating new pdf file with additional content and placing it over existing document. I assume I woudl use the PXCp_PlaceContents function for this. Would it be better to use one of the PXC_TextOut functions or some other method?

You should use any suitable functions to create another pdf file with additional content (PXC_TextOut or PXC_DrawTextExW to place text to required position, ans so on), and then use PXCp_PlaceContents to place created pdf file over existing content, as you read before.
