NormalizePage Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Normalizes the currently selected page in the loaded PDF document, in other words all the page boundary boxes are adjusted to the physical size of the page (means the CropBox property is equal to the MediaBox property) and the page's rotation is reset to 0. The actual page rendering is not changed.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
Delphi
JScript
Managed Extensions for C++
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function NormalizePage() As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus NormalizePage()

public function NormalizePage(): GdPictureStatus;

public function NormalizePage() : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus NormalizePage();

public:
GdPictureStatus NormalizePage();

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.

Just to remind you that the purpose of this method is to prepare the content of the current page so that subsequent drawing operations are at the expected position on the page. This method should be used before the drawing operations, which ignore the page's rotation and cropping.
