Margins on new page

[Martin]

I am creating a table of contents, the background color of the page is purple. I draw the rectangle to create the background color, then add the table of contents. When the table of contents goes to a second page I listen for the handler page added, I first remove the margins so that the background color goes to the edge, but then when I reset the margins the table of content does not adhere to the margins and starts at the very top of the new page. 

Is there a way you can set the background color irrelevant of margins so it fills the entire page but the text adheres to the margins?

Thnaks Gowthamraj.

To simplify the requirement it is as follows:

Using to add text to a new page

Dim element As PdfTextElement = New PdfTextElement(content, fFont, PdfBrushes.Black)

        Dim format As PdfLayoutFormat = New PdfLayoutFormat()

        format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitPage

        format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate

        'Dim result As PdfLayoutResult = element.Draw(tocPage, points)

        Dim result As PdfTextLayoutResult

        result = element.Draw(tocPage, New RectangleF(points, New SizeF(tocPage.Graphics.ClientSize.Width - 165, 40)))

This allows the text to move on to the next page, but the next page needs ot have a solid purple back color to all the edges, but the  text needs to have a margin of 30 all the way around. The first page i can create fine, the sceond page i remove all margins, make back purple, re-add margins to 30 but the text does not stay within the margins. However, i save the co-ordinates of the text so i can add PdfDocumentLinkAnnotation, this when applied adheres to the margins so is 30 points out from the actual text.
