How to add a Graph placeholder and Table placeholder in PDF template using Aspose.dll
Please help me in this area.

Answer 1

You can add a graph to a PDF document by using the code below:
// Create Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
// Add page to pages collection of PDF file
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();
// Create Graph instance
Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Graph graph = new Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Graph(100, 400);
// Add graph object to paragraphs collection of page instance
page.Paragraphs.Add(graph);
// Create Rectangle instance
Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 120);
// Specify fill color for Graph object
rect.GraphInfo.FillColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Red;
// Add rectangle object to shapes collection of Graph object
graph.Shapes.Add(rect);
dataDir = dataDir + "CreateFilledRectangle_out.pdf";
// Save PDF file
doc.Save(dataDir);
And, you can add a table in a PDF document by using the code below:
// Create Document instance
Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
// Add page to pages collection of PDF file
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();
// Initializes a new instance of the Table
Aspose.Pdf.Table table = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
// Set the table border color as LightGray
table.Border = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, .5f, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.LightGray));
// Set the border for table cells
table.DefaultCellBorder = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, .5f, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.LightGray));
// Create a loop to add 10 rows
for (int row_count = 1; row_count < 10; row_count++)
{
// Add row to table
Aspose.Pdf.Row row = table.Rows.Add();
// Add table cells
row.Cells.Add("Column (" + row_count + ", 1)");
row.Cells.Add("Column (" + row_count + ", 2)");
row.Cells.Add("Column (" + row_count + ", 3)");
}
// Add table object to first page of document
doc.Pages[1].Paragraphs.Add(table);
dataDir = dataDir + "document_with_table_out.pdf";
// Save updated document containing table object
doc.Save(dataDir);
