# drawPrintFormatter(_:forPageAt:)

Performs custom drawing in addition to the specified print formatter’s drawing for a page.

## Declaration

```swift
func drawPrintFormatter(_ printFormatter: UIPrintFormatter, forPageAt pageIndex: Int)
```

## Parameters

- `printFormatter`: A doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintFormatter object associated with the page at pageIndex.
- `pageIndex`: The index of the page for printFormatter to draw on.

## Discussion

Discussion The system invokes this method for each print formatter associated with the specified page. The default implementation invokes the draw(in:forPageAt:) method of each UIPrintFormatter object. Override this method to intermix custom drawing with the formatter drawing — for example, by adding an overlay or underlay graphic. Call draw(in:forPageAt:) to have the print formatter draw its portion of the page. The system configures this method for drawing to the current graphics context according to UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext().
