AddPageLabelsRange Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Adds a new page labeling range into the currently loaded PDF document according to what you have specified.

A page labeling range is a series of consecutive pages using the same numbering system. The purpose of page labels is to identify each page visually on the screen or in print. Pages, that are included in the specific labeling range, are defined by the interval starting at the first page specified by the StartPage parameter and always ending at the last page of the document.

All labeling ranges are simply indexed by an integer value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageLabelsRangeCount-1.

Parameters

StartPage
The page number of the starting page in the labeling range. It must be a value from 1 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageCount.
Style
A member of the PdfPageLabelStyle enumeration. It defines the page labeling style.
Prefix
The label prefix for page labels in this range. It can be an empty string.
NumPortion
The value of the numeric portion for the first page label in the range. Subsequent pages are numbered sequentially from this value, which must be greater than or equal to 1. The default value is 1.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

Pages within a labeling range are numbered sequentially in ascending order, starting at the first page specified by the StartPage parameter and always ending at the last page of the document. You also need to be aware that if you add a page range, which begins at the page other than the first page of the document, the supplementary labeling range is created for the pages outside your required interval (starting at the first page and ending at the page before your StartPage).

Example
