DeletePageLabelsRange Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Removes a page labeling range specified by its index, previously defined by the GdPicturePDF.AddPageLabelsRange method, within the currently loaded PDF document.

It is not allowed (see PDF Reference, Section "Page Labels") to delete the page labeling range with the index 0, if more than one labeling range is defined in the PDF document.

'Declaration
 
Public Function DeletePageLabelsRange( _
   ByVal LabelingRangeIdx As Integer _
) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus DeletePageLabelsRange( 
   int LabelingRangeIdx
)

public function DeletePageLabelsRange( 
    LabelingRangeIdx: Integer
): GdPictureStatus;

public function DeletePageLabelsRange( 
   LabelingRangeIdx : int
) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus DeletePageLabelsRange( 
   int LabelingRangeIdx
)

public:
GdPictureStatus DeletePageLabelsRange( 
   int LabelingRangeIdx
)

Parameters

LabelingRangeIdx: The index of the required labeling range to remove. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageLabelsRangeCount-1.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

If you want to delete all page labeling ranges at once, you can simply use the GdPicturePDF.DeletePageLabels method instead of removing them one by one. Be aware that the removal of the labeling range with the index 0 makes nothing if more than one labeling range is defined in your document.

Example

How to remove actual page labeling ranges, one by one, if any are defined, in the PDF document.

As it is mentioned above, the range with the index 0 is only allowed to delete if it is the only one labeling range defined in the document. Because of this in the example below we start to remove ranges from the last one to the first one.

C#

Dim caption As String = "Example: DeletePageLabelsRange"
Dim gdpicturePDF As New GdPicturePDF()
If gdpicturePDF.LoadFromFile("test.pdf", False) = GdPictureStatus.OK Then

    Dim status As GdPictureStatus = gdpicturePDF.GetStat()
    If status = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
        If rangesCount > 0 Then
            Dim message As String = ""
            For i As Integer = rangesCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
                status = gdpicturePDF.DeletePageLabelsRange(i)
                If status = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
