## Description
20+
21+
This article demonstrates how to append a PDF, containing general terms and conditions, to the last page of a PDF document produced by exporting a Telerik Report(*.trdp/.trdx files exported as PDF documents*). The terms and conditions PDF should always appear at the end, regardless of the report's content.
22+
23+
## Solution
24+
25+
### Requirements and Steps
26+
27+
To achieve this functionality, use:
28+
29+
* [Telerik Reporting]({%slug telerikreporting/welcome-to-telerik-reporting!%}) to generate PDF reports.
30+
* [Telerik Document Processing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/introduction) to manipulate the PDF and add some extra content.
31+
32+
Follow these steps:
33+
34+
1. **Generate the Report PDF using Telerik Reporting**
35+
Use Telerik Reporting to render the report as a PDF file. Refer to the [Generating Reports Locally with Code]({%slug telerikreporting/using-reports-in-applications/call-the-report-engine-via-apis/embedded-report-engine%}) article for more details on generating reports locally.
36+
1. **Import and Modify the PDF Report using Telerik Document Processing**
37+
Use Telerik Document Processing's [RadPdfProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/overview) library to [import](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/formats-and-conversion/pdf/pdfformatprovider/pdfformatprovider#import) the generated PDF, append a new page with the terms and conditions and export the final document.
38+
39+
### Example Code
40+
41+
Below is a complete example demonstrating how to generate the report PDF and append a new page:
42+
43+
````C#
44+
using System.Diagnostics;
45+
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf;
46+
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model;
47+
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Data;
48+
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Editing;
49+
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Text;
50+
51+
namespace GeneratePDFReportsAndUpdate
52+
{
53+
internal class Program
54+
{
55+
static void Main(string[] args)
56+
{
57+
Telerik.Documents.ImageUtils.ImagePropertiesResolver defaultImagePropertiesResolver = new Telerik.Documents.ImageUtils.ImagePropertiesResolver();
58+
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Extensibility.FixedExtensibilityManager.ImagePropertiesResolver = defaultImagePropertiesResolver;
59+

60+
61+
string reportFolderPath = @"..\..\..\Reports";
62+
string pdfFolderPath = reportFolderPath + @"\Pdf Files";
63+
string[] reportFiles = Directory.GetFiles(reportFolderPath);
64+
65+
foreach (string reportFilePath in reportFiles)
66+
{
67+
var reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();
68+
var deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
69+
70+
var reportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.UriReportSource();
71+
reportSource.Uri = reportFilePath;
72+
73+
Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", reportSource, deviceInfo);
74+
string fileName = result.DocumentName + "_byReporting." + result.Extension;
75+
string path = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
76+
string filePath = pdfFolderPath + @"\" + fileName;
77+
if (!result.HasErrors)
78+
{
79+
using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(filePath, System.IO.FileMode.Create))
80+
{
81+
fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
82+
}
83+
}
84+
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = filePath, UseShellExecute = true });
85+
86+
// By Document Processing
87+
string filePathToImport = pdfFolderPath + @"\" + fileName;
88+
89+
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider pdf_provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
90+

91+
92+
93+
fileName = result.DocumentName + "_byDPL." + result.Extension;
94+
filePath = pdfFolderPath + @"\" + fileName;
95+
96+
using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(filePath))
97+
{
98+
//import the PDF report
99+
RadFixedDocument fixedDocument = pdf_provider.Import(File.OpenRead(filePathToImport), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
100+
101+
//add a new page to the document
102+
//https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/textfragment
103+
104+
RadFixedPage page = new RadFixedPage();
105+
fixedDocument.Pages.Add(page);
106+
FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
107+
108+
SimplePosition simplePosition = new SimplePosition();
109+
simplePosition.Translate(20, 20);
110+
TextFragment textFragment = page.Content.AddTextFragment("General terms and conditions");
111+
textFragment.CharacterSpacing = 5;
112+
textFragment.WordSpacing = 15;
113+
textFragment.Position = simplePosition;
114+
115+
SimplePosition simplePosition2 = new SimplePosition();
116+
simplePosition2.Translate(20, 120);
117+
TextFragment textFragment2 = new TextFragment("by Document Processing Libraries");
118+
textFragment2.CharacterSpacing = 10;
119+
textFragment2.WordSpacing = 20;
120+
textFragment2.Position = simplePosition2;
121+
page.Content.Add(textFragment2);
122+
123+
124+
pdf_provider.Export(fixedDocument, output, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
125+
}
126+
127+
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = filePath, UseShellExecute = true });
128+
}
129+

### Key Steps Explained:
135+
136+
1. **Generate a PDF**: Use Telerik Reporting's `ReportProcessor` to render the `.trdp` file as a PDF.
137+
1. **Import the PDF**: Use `PdfFormatProvider` from RadPdfProcessing to load the generated PDF.
138+
1. **Add a Page**: Create a new page and use `FixedContentEditor` to add the terms and conditions text.
139+
1. **Export the Modified PDF**: Save the final PDF with the appended terms and conditions.
