Examples

Shows how to specify page properties in millimeters.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

// A section's "Page Setup" defines the size of the page margins in points.
// We can also use the "ConvertUtil" class to use a more familiar measurement unit,
// such as millimeters when defining boundaries.
let pageSetup = builder.pageSetup;
pageSetup.topMargin = aw.ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(30);
pageSetup.bottomMargin = aw.ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(50);
pageSetup.leftMargin = aw.ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(80);
pageSetup.rightMargin = aw.ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(40);

// A centimeter is approximately 28.3 points.
expect(aw.ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(10)).toBeCloseTo(28.34, 1);

// Add content to demonstrate the new margins.
builder.writeln(`This Text is ${pageSetup.leftMargin} points from the left, ` +
        `${pageSetup.rightMargin} points from the right, ` +
        `${pageSetup.topMargin} points from the top, ` +
        `and ${pageSetup.bottomMargin} points from the bottom of the page.`);

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "UtilityClasses.PointsAndMillimeters.docx");
