itext7

I would like to add and remove a watermark to a PDF using iText 7. I was able to add the watermark, but unable to remove it again. I could only find relevant code/examples related to iText 5. Any pointers appreciated, thanks. This is how I added the Watermark (using Layers): pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(sourceFile), new PdfWriter(destinationPath)); var numberOfPages = pdfDoc.GetNumberOfPages(); PageSize ps = pdfDoc.GetDefaultPageSize(); for (var i = 1; i <= numberOfPages; i++) { PdfPage page = pdfDoc.GetPage(i); PdfLayer layer = new PdfLayer("watermark", pdfDoc); var canvas = new

I am trying to find the text position in PDF page? What I have tried is to get the text in the PDF page by PDF Text Extractor using simple text extraction strategy. I am looping each word to check if my word exists. split the words using: var Words = pdftextextractor.Split(new char[] { ' ', '\n' }); What I wasn't able to do is to find the text position. The problem is I wasn't able to find the location of the text. All I need to find is the y co-ordinates of the word in the PDF file. First, SimpleTextExtractionStrategy is not exactly the 'smartest' strategy (as the name would suggest. Second,

I've been using iText 7 for a few days to build pdf files, unfortunately, iText 7 is very different from iText 5 and the documentation is still very incomplete. I'm trying to build a paragraph that mixes two fonts or two fonts style (example: have a bold text in the middle of a paragraph) Using iText 5 this would be done using Chunks: Font regular = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12); Font bold = Font font = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12, Font.BOLD); Phrase p = new Phrase("NAME: ", bold); p.add(new Chunk(cc_cust_dob, regular)); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(p); Using iText 7, I still haven

I can set the width of a new paragraph as follows, which results in a certain height: Paragraph p = new Paragraph("some longer text some longer text some longer text"); p.setWidth(100); System.out.println("height " + p.getHeight()); document.add(p); Of course p.getHeight() is null , since the rendered height is calculated during rendering the PDF file. But I need the height before the final rendering. How can I get it most efficiently? To get the effective width of the paragraph as if it was drawn on a page already, you need to create renderer tree from model element tree, and then layout the
