first page without header and footer

[João Bosco Teixeira Junior]

Dear how do I make the first page without header and footer? because the first page would be a cover..

I placed the header and footer as described below... but it stays on all pages, the first one I want it not to have a header and footer...

document.template.bottom = footer;

document.template.top = headerElement;

could someone help me with this?

We suggest adding a section and adding only the cover page to the pdf document and adding the other pages to the individual section of the pdf document and adding header and footer to this section of this PDF document.

  //Create a PDF document

    PdfDocument document = PdfDocument();

//Set the font

    PdfFont font = PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.helvetica, 14);

//Section - 1

//Add section to the document

    PdfSection section = document.sections!.add();

//Create page settings to the section

    section.pageSettings.rotate = PdfPageRotateAngle.rotateAngle0;

    section.pageSettings.size = const Size(300, 400);

//Draw simple text on the page

    section.pages.add().graphics.drawString('Rotated by 0 degrees', font,

        brush: PdfBrushes.black, bounds: const Rect.fromLTWH(20, 20, 0, 0));

//Create the header with specific bounds

    PdfPageTemplateElement header = PdfPageTemplateElement(

        Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, document.pageSettings.size.width, 100));

//Create the date and time field

    PdfDateTimeField dateAndTimeField = PdfDateTimeField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)));

    dateAndTimeField.date = DateTime(2020, 2, 10, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13);

    dateAndTimeField.dateFormatString = 'E, MM.dd.yyyy';

//Create the composite field with date field

    PdfCompositeField compositefields = PdfCompositeField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)),

        text: '{0} Header',

        fields: <PdfAutomaticField>[dateAndTimeField]);

//Add composite field in header

    compositefields.draw(header.graphics,

        Offset(0, 50 - PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 11).height));

//Add the header at top of the document

    section.template.top = header;

//Create the footer with specific bounds

    PdfPageTemplateElement footer = PdfPageTemplateElement(

        Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, document.pageSettings.size.width, 50));

//Create the page number field

    PdfPageNumberField pageNumber = PdfPageNumberField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)));

//Sets the number style for page number

    pageNumber.numberStyle = PdfNumberStyle.upperRoman;

//Create the page count field

    PdfPageCountField count = PdfPageCountField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)));

//set the number style for page count

    count.numberStyle = PdfNumberStyle.upperRoman;

//Create the date and time field

    PdfDateTimeField dateTimeField = PdfDateTimeField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)));

//Sets the date and time

    dateTimeField.date = DateTime(2020, 2, 10, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13);

//Sets the date and time format

    dateTimeField.dateFormatString = 'hh\':\'mm\':\'ss';

//Create the composite field with page number page count

    PdfCompositeField compositeField = PdfCompositeField(

        font: PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19),

        brush: PdfSolidBrush(PdfColor(0, 0, 0)),

        text: 'Page {0} of {1}, Time:{2}',

        fields: <PdfAutomaticField>[pageNumber, count, dateTimeField]);

    compositeField.bounds = footer.bounds;

//Add the composite field in footer

    compositeField.draw(footer.graphics,

        Offset(290, 50 - PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.timesRoman, 19).height));

//Add the footer at the bottom of the document

    section.template.bottom = footer;

//Section - 2

//Add section to the document

    section = document.sections!.add();

//Create page settings to the section

    section.pageSettings.rotate = PdfPageRotateAngle.rotateAngle90;

    section.pageSettings.size = const Size(300, 400);

//Draw simple text on the page

    section.pages.add().graphics.drawString('Rotated by 90 degrees', font,

        brush: PdfBrushes.black, bounds: const Rect.fromLTWH(20, 20, 0, 0));

//Section - 3

//Add section to the document

    section = document.sections!.add();

//Create page settings to the section

    section.pageSettings.rotate = PdfPageRotateAngle.rotateAngle180;

    section.pageSettings.size = const Size(500, 200);

//Draw simple text on the page

    section.pages.add().graphics.drawString('Rotated by 180 degrees', font,

        brush: PdfBrushes.black, bounds: const Rect.fromLTWH(20, 20, 0, 0));

//Section - 4

//Add section to the document

    section = document.sections!.add();

//Create page settings to the section

    section.pageSettings.rotate = PdfPageRotateAngle.rotateAngle270;

    section.pageSettings.size = const Size(300, 200);

//Draw simple text on the page

    section.pages.add().graphics.drawString('Rotated by 270 degrees', font,

        brush: PdfBrushes.black, bounds: const Rect.fromLTWH(20, 20, 0, 0));
