PDF and Text

Question

Greetings,

I have a question regarding Essential PDF.  I am trying to create a PDF document of variable length.  The idea is that it will pull text from the database and right it into the document.  The layout is such that it might span multiple pages.  The problem I am encountering is that the text is being cut off at the bottom of the page and I cant find a behavior similar to the tables PageBreakBehavior property which will allow me to span pages by simply drawing text.  Is there a better way to add text to a PDF that I am missing?  Basically I want to be able to iterate through a dataset and add all the text.  This might be 1 page or might be 100 pages.

Thanks,

Hi Neel,

 For text flow also we have PageBreakBehavior property.
Here is the code .
IPDFGraphicState props=pdfDoc.CreateGraphicState();
props.BreakBehavior=AutoBreakBehavior.MultiLineTextBreak;

TextFlow_6813.zip

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Lalitha.
