Hi Klaus!

Here's a sample about DrawText.

What you have to add is first the PageCount

Then starting the loop.

Then the sample code with your personal positions.

Then the ending loop and the save.

Hi Ingo,

i want to add the "DrawLine" into an existing PDF File.
Just in the Moment when your answer arrived I have found the "SelectPage" in the Documentation. This Command work as I want to.

Another short question: it is possible to draw the line slightly thicker?

Thanks for support

Klaus

Hi Klaus!

You can determine the font values you're using and i'm thinking that these values have influence on the line, too. If not: The easiest way is to draw the line multiple with slightly defferent Y-values:

SetLineWidth should work for increasing the width of the line.

The "SetLineWidth" do not change the LineHeight. Only to Draw the Line twice directly under the first line will double the Height, but this is very thick.

As I post it in the first message i will Draw OME Codes to support an enveloping machine. I will try both (thin and thick Lines) now.

Thanks for support

Kind regards

Ingo you are right.
The Value of the Position of the Lines is a Floating Point Value so i can Draw the Line twice near under the first Position...

Thank you for the idea

Kind regards

Another option is to just draw a filled rectangle with DrawBox and floating point values. This way you control the absolute positioning of the line and its thickness.
