Parameters

PageWidth: The page width expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method.
You can simply use the GdPicturePDF.GetMeasurementUnit method to determine the currently defined units and you can easily use the GdPicturePDF.SetMeasurementUnit method to reset the units according to your preference.
PageHeight: The page height expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method.
You can simply use the GdPicturePDF.GetMeasurementUnit method to determine the currently defined units and you can easily use the GdPicturePDF.SetMeasurementUnit method to reset the units according to your preference.
PageNo: The required position of the page to insert, that means the page number for the newly inserted page. It must be a value greater than 0.
If the specified value is greater than the number of all pages in the loaded document, the new page is automatically inserted as the last page, as it is shown in the example below.

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.

The newly inserted page is automatically set as the current page after the successful insertion.

How to insert a blank page with the same page size as the first page to be the new first page and also to be the new last page of your document.
