ITextSharp 5.0.2 Paragraph Alignment

Question

User-1298022718 posted

Hi All,

Am currently developing an application in vb.net to write information to a pdf, using itextsharp 5.0.2.

I have been able to add images and paragraps to the pdf without any problem.

I build up my document as shown below

 

            ' Create instance of iTextSharp object
            Dim doc As New Document(PageSize.A4, 75, 75, 50, 50)

            ' Get full path of file
            Dim path As String = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/authenticated/letters/" + _debt.DebtId.ToString + "-stage1-letter.pdf")

            ' Create writer to listen to this document and write to stream
            PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, New FileStream(path, FileMode.Create))

            ' Open document
            doc.Open()

            ' Setup default font
            Dim fontBold As Font = FontFactory.GetFont("Tahoma", 11, Font.BOLD)
            Dim fontDefault As Font = FontFactory.GetFont("Tahoma", 11, Font.NORMAL)

            ' Get relevant letterhead logo
            Dim headerImage As Image = Image.GetInstance(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(_pcLogoPath))

            headerImage.ScalePercent(6)
            doc.Add(headerImage)

Then to add a new paragraph i am using..

 

            Dim p1 As New Paragraph
            p1.Font = fontDefault
            p1.SpacingAfter = 10
            p1.Add("Dear Sirs")
            doc.Add(p1)

 

I am trying to create a footer on the pdf document. Therefore I need to create a new paragraph which is positioned absolute bottom. This is the latest version of iText (5.0.2) and i know that they have removed the headerfooter feature, which was included in previous versions. I have searched and searched for possible solutions but cannot find anything suitable.

Has anyone had a similar issue or know of a fix?

 

Many Thanks

Matt
