Hi, is there any way that can add footer to the last page only?

[Sethumanikkam Yogendran]

Hi Julian,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

The Word document is a flow document in which contents will not be preserved page by page; instead the contents will be preserved sequentially section by section. Each section may extend to various pages based on its contents like table, text, images etc.

Word viewer/editor renders the contents of the Word document page by page dynamically when opened for viewing or editing and this page wise rendered information will not be preserved in the document level as per the Microsoft Word file format specification. Whereas Essential DocIO is a non-UI component that provides a full-fledged document object model to manipulate the Word document contents.

Please refer the below KB article which explains the same:
http://www.syncfusion.com/kb/3989/why-it-is-not-possible-to-access-the-word-document-contents-page-by-page

Hence it is not directly possible to access the Word document contents page by page, the same holds in Essential DocIO. As a workaround, you can split the contents of each page as separate section in the Word document and access the contents by sections instead of pages.

If you want to have unique headers/footers on each and every page then you shall insert separate sections for each and every pages and insert your headers/footers content in the corresponding sections. We have prepared a sample to illustrate the same. Please find it from below link, and let us know if this helps you.

Note: Please find the documents from input and output folder inside the application.

Kindly refer the below UG documentation and online sample links to know more about Header and Footers with Essential DocIO.

If we misunderstood any of your requirement, then kindly provide us sample or modified sample of above along with input used at your end and screenshot/output Word document of the expected result which will helpful to provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi, is it possible to extract the header and footer sections from one Word document and insert them into the first page of another existing document?

So effectively using the first Word document as a reusable template for the second.
