Creating event invitation

Create a custom-sized event invitation document with specific page dimensions and content:

• set custom page size (210 × 99 mm) for invitation format (ApiSection);
• configure page orientation and margins (ApiDocument);
• add centered title and event details (ApiParagraph, ApiRun);
• apply custom text formatting and styles (ApiTextPr, ApiStyle);
• insert contact information and RSVP details (ApiParaPr);
• add decorative borders around the entire invitation content (ApiParagraph).

• Code
• Result

const doc = Api.GetDocument();

// Get the final section to configure page settings
const finalSection = doc.GetFinalSection();

// Set custom page size: 210 × 99 mm (converted to twips: 1 mm = 56.7 twips)
// 210 mm = 11907 twips, 99 mm = 5613 twips
finalSection.SetPageSize(11907, 5613);

// Set portrait orientation and narrow margins
finalSection.SetPageMargins(360, 360, 360, 360); // 0.25 inch margins

// Create custom styles for the invitation
const titleStyle = doc.CreateStyle("InvitationTitle", "paragraph");
const titleParaPr = titleStyle.GetParaPr();
titleParaPr.SetJc("center");
titleParaPr.SetSpacingAfter(200);
