Re: ODD/EVEN Pages & Sections Handling with Open XML

Hello,

I have several documents I have to combine to 1 "Document", but some of those documents have to start on "Even" pages and so I need to set some "Section Breaks".

What's the easy way to do a "Page-Count", so I'm sure that a part of document start on an "Even" Page?

Kind Regards,
Frederic

Hi Frederic

You cannot use the OpenXML SDK to establish the Page Count because the document needs to be rendered to have any pagination.

A solution for your problem could be to use the Word Automation Services to convert the document to the XPS fixed format and then query this XML for the page count - for more information have a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_office_word/archive/2009/10/26/introducing-word-automation-services.aspx
