A member of the PdfOrigin enumeration. You can select one of these: bottom left, top left, bottom right and top right.
Example





In This Topic
SetOrigin Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Sets the new origin's location of the currently used coordinate system defined in the loaded PDF document. Please note that you need to create or load the PDF document properly to set the valid value, otherwise the value will remain undefined.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Sub SetOrigin( _
   ByVal Origin As PdfOrigin _
) 
public void SetOrigin( 
   PdfOrigin Origin
)
public procedure SetOrigin( 
    Origin: PdfOrigin
); 
public function SetOrigin( 
   Origin : PdfOrigin
);
public: void SetOrigin( 
   PdfOrigin Origin
) 
public:
void SetOrigin( 
   PdfOrigin Origin
)

Parameters

Origin
A member of the PdfOrigin enumeration. You can select one of these: bottom left, top left, bottom right and top right.
Remarks
It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any. Please ensure that you have successfully created or loaded a PDF document, otherwise the method does nothing.

The location of the origin of a PDF document is defined by default to be at the lower left corner.

Example
How to find out the position of the first page's media box in millimetres of the currently loaded PDF document.
