Saving each page as a document

[Gustav]

How do you save each page in a PDFDocument in a separate PDF file to disk? No matter how hard I try, I end up with a "Duplicated" ArgumentException thrown by Syncfusion.Pdf.Implementation.Utilities.SortedListEx`2.Add(TKey key, TValue value).

Here's my code:

PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument();
//Create a page in the document
document.CreatePage();
document.LastPage.Graphics.DrawText(new Point(0, 0), "This is my first page", myfont);

//Create another page
document.CreatePage();
document.LastPage.Graphics.DrawText(new Point(0, 0), "This is my second page", myfont);

//Save each page as a pdf file to disk
int i = 0;
foreach (IPDFPage page in document.Pages)
{
i++;
PDFDocument tempDocument = new PDFDocument();
IPDFPage tempPage = page;
tempDocument.Pages.Add(tempPage);
tempDocument.Save(@"c:\MyFolder\PdfFile" + i.ToString() + ".pdf");
tempDocument.Close();
}

I have tried:
- Saving to a FileStream instead of directly to disk.
- Using for instead of foreach.

No matter what I do, I end up with the "Duplicated" ArgumentException thrown by SortedListEx`2.Add(). What am I doing wrong?

Here's the stack trace from ASP.NET:

Hi Gustav,

Thank you for your interest in Essential Pdf.

It is possible to extract pages using Essential Pdf. The following code will take a pdf file and save each page of the pdf file as a seperate document,

using Syncfusion.Pdf;

PDFDocument ldoc = new PDFDocument(txtUrl.Text);

int i = 0;
foreach (IPDFPage page in ldoc.Pages)
{

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument();
doc.Pages.Add(page);
i++;
doc.Save("Page" + i.ToString() + ".pdf");

}


Here is a sample for your reference,

Sample: http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/PDF.Windows/F63208/main.htm

Sample details:

1) The sample application takes a pdf document as input and saves each page as a seperate document.

Kindly take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Ajish.

I'm sorry, this isn't working for me. The application just freezes when I try to load the PDF and has to be forcibly quit. It might be because of the PDF document I'm trying to load?

Anyhow, I have attached a simple Web application that tries to achieve what I'm discussing. On my development system (Windows XP, IIS, ASP.NET 2) it fails with the "Duplicated" exception I mentioned in my first post.

The first page is created without issues. It's the second page that fails.

You might need to set permissions on the SplitPdfDocuments folder.

FWIW, I'm using assemblies with version 5.102.0.51.

Many thanks for assistance with this.
