Hi Naweed,
 
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.
  
In our SfRichTextBoxAdv control, page margin and page size properties are available in section format class. Please find the following API links to change the page margin and page size.
 
 
We have also created a sample to demonstrate how to change page size and page margin after loading the document. The sample can be downloaded from the following link.

Respected Sir,
The method you given works well. It sets the page size and margins.

But there is one problem, after setting these two parameter, the position of the cursor is lost. It is no more within the richTextBox. How that can be put back into the richTextBox.

Hi Naweed,  
 
Thank you for your update.
  
We are glad to know that the provided details resolve the reported problem in your end. 

Since you have mentioned that the cursor position is lost in RichTextBox after using the provided code example, we suggest to use the following code to set focus to the control, while changing the page setting properties.  
richTextBoxAdv.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);  
  
   
For further reference, we have modified the sample to demonstrate the same which can be downloaded from the following location.  
 
Please let us know if you need any further assistance,

Hi Naweed,

Thank you for your patience.

We confirmed that the suspected issue with "Footer content" is a defect. We have logged a defect report and planned to include this fix in our upcoming weekly NuGet release which is estimated to be available on 4th March 2020.

Meanwhile, we request to remove the highlighted codes from your sample to avoid the above-reported issue.
Code example: 
             // Defines the header and footer. 
             HeaderFooters headerFooters = new HeaderFooters(); 
 
            //// Defines the header. 
            //headerFooters.Header = new HeaderFooter(); 
            ParagraphAdv headerParagraph = new ParagraphAdv(); 
            SpanAdv headerSpan = new SpanAdv(); 
            headerSpan.Text = "29 March 2016"; 
            headerParagraph.Inlines.Add(headerSpan); 
            headerFooters.Header.Blocks.Add(headerParagraph); 
 
            // Defines the footer. 
             //headerFooters.Footer = new HeaderFooter(); 
             ParagraphAdv footerParagraph = new ParagraphAdv(); 
             SpanAdv footerSpan = new SpanAdv(); 
             footerSpan.Text = "End of page"; 
             footerParagraph.Inlines.Add(footerSpan); 
             headerFooters.Footer.Blocks.Add(footerParagraph); 
 
            SectionAdv sectionAdv = richTextBoxAdv.Document.Sections[0]; 
            sectionAdv.HeaderFooters = headerFooters; 
            sectionAdv.SectionFormat.HeaderDistance = 50; 
            sectionAdv.SectionFormat.FooterDistance = 50; 

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Sir,
Is it possible to select one complete sentence instead of single word with double click in richTextBoxAdv. Or if it can be done with triple click as in MS word triple click select a paragraph.
Regards

PS Premkumar Sundaramoorthy Syncfusion Team March 3, 2020 01:13 PM UTC

Hi Naweed,

We do not have support to select one complete sentence instead of a single word with double click in SfRichTextBoxAdv. But you can be done this with triple-click as in MS word triple-click select a paragraph.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
