I'm trying to set a background to a pdf and managed to set it with an image my pdf has a big table so the pages are added automatically not with the Document.NewPage() method so the image background is set only on the first page. This is the code that adds the background: Image backImg = Image.GetInstance(@"D:\websites\DIS\bugs\130208\A4.png"); backImg.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0); backImg.Alignment = Image.UNDERLYING; var doc = new Document(pageSize); PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)); doc.Open(); doc.Add(backImg); ... creating a big

I'm trying to get some rows of text on the left side and some on the right side. For some reason iText seems to ignore the alignment entirely. Example: // create 200x100 column ct = new ColumnText(writer.DirectContent); ct.SetSimpleColumn(0, 0, 200, 100); ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry1")); ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry2")); ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry3")); ret = ct.Go(); ct.SetSimpleColumn(0, 0, 200, 100); ct.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT; ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry4")); ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry5")); ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("entry6")); ret = ct.Go(); I

In the release notes of iText 5.4.4 it says: From now on you can now merge forms and preserve the tagged PDF structure when using the addDocument() method in PdfCopy. At the same time, we've deprecated PdfCopyFields.* I try to merge multiple pdf documents into one pdf document. If one of these documents is a pdf form with acroFields, those fields will be invisible in the output document. This is the case when I use the addDocument() method in PdfCopy. When I use the addDocument() method in PdfCopyFields it works fine. PdfCopyFields is deprecated in iTextSharp, but is PdfCopy working correctly?

tl;dr : Basically I'm just wondering what is the best/easiest way to design a PDF document? Is it remotely legit to actually design a whole PDF document with iTextSharp with code(i.e not loading external files)? I want the final result to look similar to a webpage with various colours, borders, images and everything. Or do you have to rely on other documents like .doc, .html files to achieve a good design? Originally I thought that I would use HTML markup to generate a PDF, however seeing how bad the support seems to be when it comes to styling/CSS so am I rethinking the whole situation. Which

I am parsing HTML string using iTextSharp XMLWorker in my WPF application using the below code: var css = ""; using (var htmlMS = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html))) { //Create a stream to read our CSS using (var cssMS = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(css))) { //Get an instance of the generic XMLWorker var xmlWorker = XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance(); //Parse our HTML using everything setup above xmlWorker.ParseXHtml(writer, doc, htmlMS, cssMS, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, fontProv); } } The parsing works fine but it is really slow, it takes around 2

I want to export gridview to pdf by using the itextsharp library. The problem is that some turkish characters such as İ,ı,Ş,ş etc... are missing in the pdf document. The code used to export the pdf is: protected void LinkButtonPdf_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.pdf"); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new StringWriter(); System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite =
