# Working with PDF document Pages

Essential<sup>&reg;</sup> PDF provides comprehensive APIs to manage the pages of a [PdfDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html). You can create new pages, insert blank or duplicate pages, rearrange the page order, set page size, margins, orientation, and rotation, customize page numbering, remove pages, split a document, and detect blank pages.

## Adding a new page to the document

The following code sample explains how to add a [PdfPage](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPage.html) to a PDF document. When multiple pages are added, the new page is always appended to the end of the document. Each page exposes a [Graphics](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPage.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPage_Graphics) object that you can use to draw text, images, and shapes.

## Inserting pages in a document

You can insert an empty page at any location in an existing PDF document using the [Insert](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing.PdfLoadedPageCollection.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Parsing_PdfLoadedPageCollection_Insert_System_Int32_) method. The index is zero-based; passing `0` inserts the page at the beginning of the document. The following code snippet illustrates the same.

## Adding margin to the PDF pages

You can add margins to all the pages of a PDF document using the [PageSettings](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfDocument_PageSettings) property. The [Margins](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageMargins.html) object exposes individual sides (`Left`, `Right`, `Top`, `Bottom`) as well as the convenient `All` property to set the same value on every side. The following code snippet illustrates the same.

N> The default margin is set to 40 points, ensuring uniform spacing between the content and the page edges. This margin allows sufficient space for better readability and helps prevent content from being truncated during printing or viewing.

## Adding sections with different page settings

Essential<sup>&reg;</sup> PDF supports adding sections with different page settings like [Height](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Height), [Margins](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Margins), [Orientation](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Orientation), [Rotate](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Rotate), [Size](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Size), [Transition](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Transition), and [Width](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Width). You can add sections to a PDF document by using the [PdfSection](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfSection.html) available in the [PdfDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html) instance, and create page settings to the `PdfSection` using the [PageSettings](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfSection.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfSection_PageSettings) property.

## Customizing section page numbering styles in PDF documents

You can customize the numbering style of page labels in a PDF section by setting the [NumberStyle](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfMultipleNumberValueField.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfMultipleNumberValueField_NumberStyle) property of a [PdfSectionPageNumberField](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfSectionPageNumberField.html). For example, to use lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...), assign `PdfNumberStyle.LowerRoman` to the [NumberStyle](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfMultipleNumberValueField.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfMultipleNumberValueField_NumberStyle) property.

## Changing the page numbers in a PDF document

You can alter the page label for an existing PDF document using the [PdfPageLabel](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageLabel.html) class. The [NumberStyle](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageLabel.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageLabel_NumberStyle) property defines the numbering style (for example, upper-case Roman letters), and the [StartNumber](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageLabel.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageLabel_StartNumber) property defines the starting value. Refer to the following code example.

## Removing pages from a document

You can remove pages from an existing PDF document using the [RemoveAt](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing.PdfLoadedPageCollection.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Parsing_PdfLoadedPageCollection_RemoveAt_System_Int32_) method, as shown in the following code example. The index is zero-based.

N> Most PDF creators optimize file size by identifying identical images and storing them as shared resources. These shared objects are referenced across multiple pages rather than being duplicated. Therefore, removing a specific page does not automatically remove the shared image resource, as it may still be used on other pages.

This behavior is by design and not considered an issue. If a shared resource is still referenced by other pages, removing it would result in missing content on those pages. In the current implementation, shared resources (such as images, fonts, and other objects) are only removed when all pages that reference them are deleted.

## Rotating a PDF page

You can rotate a particular PDF page in a new PDF document using the [PdfPageRotateAngle](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageRotateAngle.html) enum, as shown in the following code example. The rotation is applied through the section's [PageSettings.Rotate](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageSettings.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageSettings_Rotate) property and affects all pages added to that section.

## Splitting a PDF file into individual pages

Essential<sup>&reg;</sup> PDF allows you to split the pages of an existing PDF document into multiple individual PDF documents using the [Split](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing.PdfLoadedDocument.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Parsing_PdfLoadedDocument_Split_System_String_) method of the [PdfLoadedDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing.PdfLoadedDocument.html) class. The `destinationFilePattern` parameter accepts a .NET format string such as `"Output{0}.pdf"`, where `{0}` is replaced with the one-based page index to produce each output file. The following code snippet explains the same.

N> The `Split` method is available only on Windows-specific platforms (Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, and ASP.NET MVC). On cross-platform targets, you can achieve the same result by using `ImportPage` inside a loop, as shown in the cross-platform tab.

## Spanning a text element across multiple pages and drawing the next element

The [PdfLayoutFormat](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfLayoutFormat.html) class allows text to flow across pages. The [PdfLayoutResult](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfLayoutResult.html) class provides the rendered bounds of the previously added text, which can be used to place successive elements without overlapping. The Syncfusion PDF library also provides [PageAddedEventArgs](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PageAddedEventArgs.html) to get the details of the page that was just added, so that you can draw a new text element from where the previous one ended.

The following code example illustrates the same.

## Inserting duplicate pages in an existing PDF document

The Syncfusion PDF library enables you to duplicate existing pages and insert them at various locations within a document. This functionality is useful for creating templates, replicating forms, and expanding content without recreating each page. The [Insert](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing.PdfLoadedPageCollection.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Parsing_PdfLoadedPageCollection_Insert_System_Int32_) overload that accepts a `PdfLoadedPage` instance allows you to insert a copy of an existing page.

Refer to the following code example for inserting a duplicate page in a PDF document.

## Adding a new page to an existing PDF while preserving its original size

A new page can be inserted into an existing PDF document while retaining the dimensions of the existing pages by passing the source page's [Size](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPageBase.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_PdfPageBase_Size) to the `Insert` overload that accepts a `SizeF` value.

Refer to the following code example to create a new page in a PDF document while maintaining its original size.

## Page-level actions in PDF documents

Essential<sup>&reg;</sup> PDF supports page-level actions that allow you to add, retrieve, edit, and remove actions triggered by PDF page events such as `OnOpen` and `OnClose`. You can assign a [PdfJavaScriptAction](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfJavaScriptAction.html), [PdfUriAction](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfUriAction.html), [PdfSoundAction](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfSoundAction.html), or [PdfLaunchAction](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfLaunchAction.html) to these events. Multiple actions can be chained by using the [Next](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfAction.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Interactive_PdfAction_Next) property.

Refer to the following code example to define custom behavior for PDF page-level actions.

## Removing page-level actions from a PDF

You can remove page-level actions from a PDF document by setting `OnOpen` and `OnClose` to `null` (or `Nothing` in Visual Basic) for each page. This disables any actions that execute on page open or close while preserving existing annotation actions where required.

Refer to the following code example for removing PDF page-level actions.
