itextsharp

It is possible to create a PDF document in memory with iTextSharp that gives the user a choice to "open" or "save"?, and if it opens then it opens in a browser window. At the moment the only I have save it to disk. EDIT: ok I've got it sussed. I did end up having to write the file to a folder, but it is only temporary as gets overwritten every time. Here is the solution for what it's worth: private void GeneratePDF() { var doc1 = new Document(); string path = Server.MapPath("~/pdfs/"); string filepath = path + "Doc1.pdf"; PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc1, new FileStream(filepath, FileMode.Create));

So we have some really inefficient code that splits a pdf into smaller chunks based on a maximum size allowed. Aka. if the max size is 10megs, an 8 meg file would be skipped, while a 16 meg file would be split based on the number of pages. This is code that I inherited and feel like there has got to be a more efficient way to do this that requiring only one method and less instantiation of objects. We use the following code to call the methods: List<int> splitPoints = null; List<byte[]> documents = null; splitPoints = this.GetPDFSplitPoints(currentDocument, maxSize); documents = this.SplitPDF

I'm trying to use iTextSharp with ASP.NET 5 Core. However I get these errors when I'm trying to build the ASP.NET application with iTextSharp 5.5.5 Code: using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc; using System.IO; using System; using iTextSharp; using iTextSharp.text; using iTextSharp.text.pdf; // For more information on enabling MVC for empty projects, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=397860 namespace MyNamespace { public class GenerateFileController : Controller { // GET: /<controller>/ public string Index() { PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("template.pdf"); return "SomeText"; } } } Errors:

I'm currently successfully adding text to a PDF using iTextSharp's ShowTextAligned method. The method looks like this (C#): public void ShowTextAligned( int alignment, string text, float x, float y, float rotation ) However, it is unclear where the anchor point is for the text we're making. We provide x and y , but does these correspond to the upper left corner of the text rectangle, the lower left corner, or something else? Also is this impacted by line spacing? I looked at the documentation at this website , but it isn't very explanatory. See PdfContentByte Class / PdfContentByte Methods /

I am generatng barcode. Now I want to insert the student code under the barcode label. How can I do this?My code is foreach (GridViewRow row in grdBarcode.Rows) { DataList dl = (DataList)row.FindControl("datalistBarcode"); PdfContentByte cb = new PdfContentByte(writer); PdfPTable BarCodeTable = new PdfPTable(6); BarCodeTable.SetTotalWidth(new float[] { 100,10,100,10,100,10 }); BarCodeTable.DefaultCell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER; Barcode128 code128 = new Barcode128(); code128.CodeType = Barcode.CODE128_UCC; foreach (DataListItem dli in dl.Items) { String barcodename= ((Label)dli.FindControl(

I am trying to read two PDF files into two memory streams and then return a stream that will have both stream's data. But I don't seem to understand what's wrong with my code. Sample Code: string file1Path = "Sampl1.pdf"; string file2Path = "Sample2.pdf"; MemoryStream stream1 = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(file1Path)); MemoryStream stream2 = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(file2Path)); stream1.Position = 0; stream1.Copyto(stream2); return stream2; /*supposed to be containing data of both stream1 and stream2 but contains data of stream1 only*/ ArslanIqbal It appears in case of PDF

Is it possible to add a border to a page in a PDF document using iTextSharp ? I'm generating the PDF file from scratch, so I don't need to add borders to an already existing document. Here's my code for example: Document pdfDocument = new Document(PageSize.LETTER); Font headerFont = new Font(baseFont, 13); Font font = new Font(baseFont, 10); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create)); pdfDocument.Open(); //I add IElements here. pdfDocument.Close(); Here is an answer (adapted from Mark Storer) in C#. This example uses the margins of the page
