# UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()

Marks the beginning of a new page in a PDF context and configures it using default values.

## Declaration

```swift
func UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()
```

## Discussion

Discussion This function ends any previous page before beginning a new one. It sets the media box of the new page to the rectangle you specified when you created the PDF context. If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing. You must call this function or the UIGraphicsBeginPDFPageWithInfo(_:_:) function before you issue any drawing commands.
