[Sf_Pdf] How to draw an Elements outside the Pages margin?
I am trying to give my pages a heading, since my Content varies in height, I can't follow the documentation because it adds the pages beforehand.
//Add the pages to the document. (not possible for me, I dont know the final pagecount)
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {.
document.pages.add().graphics.drawString(
'page$i', PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 11),
bounds: Rect.fromLTWH(250, 0, 615, 100));
}
because of that, I am getting the pagecount after the document has been layed out:
for (var i = 0; i < document.pages.count; i++) {
final page = document.pages[i];
//TODO: Add a heading here.
}
However, since the document has been created with the default margins, I am unable to draw the heading to the page.
I tried to add the heading with a negative offset like so :
for (var i = 0; i < document.pages.count; i++) {
PdfTextElement(
text: 'Heading 1',
font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.helvetica, 16,
style: PdfFontStyle.bold),
brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)))
.draw(
page: document.pages[i],
bounds: Rect.fromLTWH(0, -10, pageWidth, pageHeight), //Trying to place the heading 10 pixels above my content.
);
}
But the heading then gets cut off by the margin.
How can I draw the PdfTextElement outside the margin bounds?
