Page section support

Page section support

Divide documents into sections with individual formatting. Documents can be divided into an unlimited number of different sections, each one of which may be individually formatted. TX Text Control is shipped with a dialog box that can be used to manipulate the section settings.

Sections enable users to create documents with mixed page orientation, so that parts are inserted as portrait and other parts as landscape. It is possible to add different headers and footers to specific sections, or you can include page numbering only for the main part of a document and omit it in an appendix.

Add page columns to your documents

Add customizable page columns to documents with full control. Any number of columns can be inserted into one document. Page columns can be enabled per section or for the whole document. All aspects of the columns can be set with the shipped dialog box.

Background images

Background images

Add background images to documents, supporting multiple formats. Position images in front or behind the text or add transparent text frames on top of images. All types of images are supported: WMF, EMF, BMP, GIF, TIF, PNG and JPG.

Additionally, images can be added from a .NET System.Drawing.Image object directly. TX Text Control now uses Windows Imaging Component (WIC), a Component Object Model based imaging codec framework for working with and processing digital images and image metadata. The Tagged Image Format (.TIF) and Graphics Interchange Format (.GIF) image formats can now additionally be used for exporting images.

TX Text Control also enables the insertion of other formats such as DICOM (DCM, DC3, DIC) or Photoshop files (PSD) with a specific installed codec.

Headers and footers

Customize headers, footers, and page numbers for each section. Different headers and footers can be inserted for each available page section of the document. Users can add a different first-page header and footer, odd and even headers and footers, and page numbers for each individual header and footer.

  • Section-based headers and footers
  • Odd and even page headers
  • First page different
  • Insert page numbers into headers and footers
