To achieve pagination and footer with static content at the end of each page when converting HTML content to PDF using the SelectPdf library in .NET, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the SelectPdf library to your project using NuGet:

   string url = "http://example.com/content.html";
   PdfPage page = doc.AddPage();
   HtmlToPdf converter = new HtmlToPdf();
   converter.Options.DrawBackground = true; // Optional: set if you want to include backgrounds
   converter.Options.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4;
   converter.Options.PdfPageOrientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait;
   PdfDocument contentDoc = converter.ConvertUrl(url);
   foreach (PdfPage contentPage in contentDoc.Pages)
   {
       doc.AddPage(contentPage);
   }
   contentDoc.Close();
   

    

2. Add the footer with the static content at the end of each page:

   foreach (PdfPage pdfPage in doc.Pages)
   {
       int pageNumber = doc.Pages.IndexOf(pdfPage) + 1;
       string footerText = $"Page {pageNumber} - ABC Company";
       
       HtmlToPdfElement footer = new HtmlToPdfElement(footerText);
       footer.FitHeight = true;
       footer.AutoFitHeight = HtmlToPdfPageFitMode.AutoFit;
       footer.Location = new PdfPoint(10, 10);
       
       pdfPage.AddElement(footer);
   }

To achieve pagination and add a footer with page numbers and static content to each page of a PDF using the SelectPdf library in .NET, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the SelectPdf package via NuGet if you haven't already.
2. Create a HTML template for your PDF content.
3. Use the SelectPdf library to convert the HTML content to PDF.
4. Customize the PDF generation to include pagination and a footer.

Here's a sample code demonstrating how to achieve this:

using System;
using SelectPdf;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create a new PDF document
        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

        // Add a new page
        PdfPage page = doc.AddPage();

        // Create a HTML to PDF converter
        HtmlToPdf converter = new HtmlToPdf();

        // Set options (optional)
        converter.Options.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4;
        converter.Options.MarginBottom = 30; // Adjust as needed
        converter.Options.MarginTop = 30; // Adjust as needed

        // Add header and footer
        converter.Header.DisplayOnFirstPage = true;
        converter.Footer.DisplayOnFirstPage = true;

        // Add pagination
        PdfTextSection text = new PdfTextSection(0, 0, "Page {page_number} of {total_pages}");
        text.TextAlign = PdfTextHorizontalAlign.Center;
        converter.Footer.Add(text);

        // Add static footer content
        PdfTextSection footerText = new PdfTextSection(0, 0, "ABC Company");
        footerText.TextAlign = PdfTextHorizontalAlign.Right;
        converter.Footer.Add(footerText);

        // Convert HTML content to PDF
        PdfDocument pdf = converter.ConvertUrlToPdf("your_html_url");

        // Append the PDF document to the existing one
        foreach (PdfPage pdfPage in pdf.Pages)
        {
            doc.AddPage(pdfPage);
        }

        // Save the PDF document
        doc.Save("output.pdf");

        // Close the PDF document
        doc.Close();

        // Close the HTML to PDF converter
        converter.Close();
    }
}

Replace "your_html_url" with the URL of the HTML content you want to convert to PDF. Adjust the margins, header, footer, and other options according to your requirements.

This code will create a PDF document with pagination at the bottom of each page and a footer with the static content "ABC Company" at the bottom right corner of each page.
