abcpdf content front of header and footer

Question

I am trying to create an structure using abcpdf that suppose to be like this:

header content footer

P.S: content needs to be "front of" header and footer

In other words, I need to have my content starting from y = 0 to y = 100%; My header starting from y = 0 to y = 200; My footer starting from y = 700 to y = 100%. (Values here are just samples)

I hope I am being clear.

At the moment I have those methods:

private void CreateDocHeader(Doc theDoc, int theCount, string content)
    {
        theDoc.Rect.String = "0 660 600 825";
        theDoc.MediaBox.String = theDoc.Rect.String;
        for (int i = 1; i <= theCount; i++)
        {
            theDoc.PageNumber = i;
            theDoc.AddImageHtml(content);
        }
    }

    private void CreateDocFooter(Doc theDoc, int theCount, string content)
    {
        theDoc.Rect.String = "0 200 600 10";
        theDoc.MediaBox.String = theDoc.Rect.String;
        for (int i = 1; i <= theCount; i++)
        {
            theDoc.PageNumber = i;
            theDoc.AddImageHtml(content);
        }
    }

    private void CreateDocContent(Doc theDoc, int theID, string theContent, ref int theCount)
    {
        theDoc.Rect.String = "0 800 600 10";
        theDoc.MediaBox.String = theDoc.Rect.String;
        theID = theDoc.AddImageHtml(theContent);
        while (theDoc.Chainable(theID))
        {
            theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
            theID = theDoc.AddImageToChain(theID);
        }
        theCount = theDoc.PageCount;
    }

Anyone?

Answer 1

Use Hpos and Vpos properties to do that :-

For header, do this:

theDoc.HPos = 0.5;
theDoc.VPos = 1.0;

this will keep your header in left alignment.

For footer, do this:

theDoc.HPos = 1.0;
theDoc.VPos = 0.5;

this will keep your footer in right alignment.

Hope this helps.

Addition:

For having the Z position, that is have the different tiers for the header/footer and content, use the Layer property. This property alongwith the LayerCount property, you can have the solution.
