# Create Multipage PDF

Creates multipage PDF with personalized wedding invitations.

## Instruction

Write a C# program that generates personalized wedding invitations by replacing placeholder text with names from a list and saves the output as a PDF.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
// A list of variable data
var names = new[]
{
    "NICK",
    "MICHAEL",
    "JOHN",
};

using (var reader = new PdfReader("wedding-invitation-5x7in-vdp.pdf"))
using (var template = reader.Frames[0].GetContent())
using (var writer = new PdfWriter("wedding-invitation-5x7in-vdp_out.pdf"))
using (var gr = writer.GetGraphics())
using (var fr = new CustomFontRegistry())
{
    var psName = fr.Add("Montserrat-Medium.ttf")[0].PostscriptName;

    foreach (var name in names)
    {
        writer.AddPage(template.Width, template.Height, template.DpiX, template.DpiY);

        gr.FontRegistry = fr;

        // The content of this container will be written only with the first call. All further calls will reference the existing content.
        gr.DrawContainer(template, 0, 0);

        // Let's draw the text at the specified point.
        var text = new PlainText(name, gr.CreateFont(psName, 10))
        {
            Position = new System.Drawing.PointF(250, 105),
        };

        text.ParagraphStyle.Alignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        text.Brush = new SolidBrush(CmykColor.FromPercentages(0.43f, 0.418f, 0.483f, 0.279f, 1));

        gr.DrawText(text);
    }
}
```

## Explanation

Below is a C# code sample that demonstrates how to create personalized wedding invitations using variable data in a PDF. The program reads a template, replaces a placeholder with a list of names, and saves the output as a new PDF:

This code generates multiple wedding invitation PDFs, each personalized with one name from the list. The names are centered and printed in a specified font and color.
