Post subject:  Position table with MigaDoc
Hello

I am toatly new to MigraDocs and PDF, just started playing around with MigraDoc invoice sample.
The table gets in front of the address. Even though I think I have followed the example closely.

I want the table element to start like 10cm from top.
So I am looking for a position setting/property for the MigraDoc Table that can do this. Help appreciated.

Thanx
L4ngely

Normally everything is formatted from top to bottom - normal items will not overlap.

Exceptions are header and footer - it's up to you to reserve enough space for header and footer.

Neither the table or the address paragraph is the heading or footer, but table overlaps (starts above the paragraph/addressframe)

Might be better to position the address elements in a table above the other table?...


To better understand MigraDoc I would like to know why this is happenening...

Yes, it's a feature, not a bug.

The address is in a textframe at a fixed position (for use with windowed envelopes).
You must take care that the table starts below that textframe - otherwise they will overlap which is then a feature and not a bug.

Add a paragraph before the table and set the space:
Code:
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.Format.SpaceBefore = "8cm";
