itextsharp change margins no document.SetPageSize - itext

I added the function below to change the margins for the page
at every page change.
I found the forum a method that sets the size of the page:
document.SetPageSize (New Rectangle (36.0F, 36.0F, 52.0F, PageFooter.TotalHeight))
But I do not want to change the size of the page, but those margins.
thanks
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
try
{
DataSet dsReport = new DataSet();
foreach (DataSet obj in report.arrayDs)
{
dsReport = obj;
break;
}
Single topMargin = 0;
if (document.PageNumber != 1)
{
if (report.repeatHead) //ripete l'intestazione del report su tutte le pagine di stampa
{
repeatHead(writer, document);
topMargin = 60;
}
else
{
if (document.PageNumber == 2) //ripete l'intestazione del report solo sulla second pagina dopo la copertina
{
repeatHead(writer, document);
topMargin = 60;
}
else
{
topMargin = Convert.ToSingle(dsReport.Tables["REPORT_STYLE"].Rows[0]["topMargin"]) * 10;
}
}
document.SetMargins(Convert.ToSingle(dsReport.Tables["REPORT_STYLE"].Rows[0]["leftMargin"]) * 10,
Convert.ToSingle(dsReport.Tables["REPORT_STYLE"].Rows[0]["rightMargin"]) * 10,
topMargin,
Convert.ToSingle(dsReport.Tables["REPORT_STYLE"].Rows[0]["bottomMargin"]) * 10);
}
}
catch
{ throw; }
}

Based on your clarification in the comments, you want the top margin of the first page to be 60 and the top margin of the second page to be 0.
This is shown in the following screen shot:
The Java code to achieve this looks like this:
public void createPdf(String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
float left = 30;
float right = 30;
float top = 60;
float bottom = 0;
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, left, right, top, bottom);
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(dest));
document.open();
document.setMargins(left, right, 0, bottom);
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++) {
document.add(new Paragraph("This is a test"));
}
document.close();
}
If you want to port this to C#, you need to change some lower cases into upper cases. You already knew most of the methods, for instance: I see document.SetMargins(...) in your page event.

iTextSharp Footer Background Color

I am trying to set the background color of my footer. I can't seem to find any code that can assist in doing this. Please see my code for the OnEndPage event.
I have tried cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY);, but that does not work :/
Which property or method is used to add a background color to the footer?
public override void OnEndPage(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter writer, iTextSharp.text.Document document)
{
base.OnEndPage(writer, document);
iTextSharp.text.Font baseFontNormal = new iTextSharp.text.Font(iTextSharp.text.Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12f, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL, iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.BLACK);
iTextSharp.text.Font baseFontBig = new iTextSharp.text.Font(iTextSharp.text.Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12f, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.BLACK);
var headerImagePath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Content/misc/proactive-reg-form-header.jpg");
var headerImage = Image.GetInstance(headerImagePath);
if (headerImage.Height > headerImage.Width)
{
//Maximum height is 800 pixels.
float percentage = 0.0f;
percentage = 700 / headerImage.Height;
headerImage.ScalePercent(percentage * 100);
}
else
{
//Maximum width is 600 pixels.
float percentage = 0.0f;
percentage = 572 / headerImage.Width;
headerImage.ScalePercent(percentage * 100);
}
//Create PdfTable object
PdfPTable pdfTab = new PdfPTable(1);
//We will have to create separate cells to include image logo and 2 separate strings
//Row 1
//PdfPCell pdfCell1 = new PdfPCell();
PdfPCell pdfCell2 = new PdfPCell(headerImage);
//PdfPCell pdfCell3 = new PdfPCell();
String text = "Page " + writer.PageNumber + " of ";
//Add paging to footer
{
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.SetTextMatrix(document.PageSize.GetRight(100), document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
cb.ShowText(text);
cb.EndText();
float len = bf.GetWidthPoint(text, 10);
cb.AddTemplate(footerTemplate, document.PageSize.GetRight(100) + len, document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
//add image to footer
writer.DirectContent.AddImage(footerImage);
}
pdfCell2.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
pdfCell2.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_BOTTOM;
pdfCell2.Border = 0;
pdfTab.AddCell(pdfCell2);
pdfTab.TotalWidth = 100f;
pdfTab.WidthPercentage = 100f;
//call WriteSelectedRows of PdfTable. This writes rows from PdfWriter in PdfTable
//first param is start row. -1 indicates there is no end row and all the rows to be included to write
//Third and fourth param is x and y position to start writing
pdfTab.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 10, document.PageSize.Height - 10, writer.DirectContent);
//set pdfContent value
if (document.PageNumber != 1)
{
//Move the pointer and draw line to separate header section from rest of page
cb.MoveTo(10, document.PageSize.Height - 60);
cb.LineTo((document.PageSize.Width - 10), document.PageSize.Height - 60);
cb.Stroke();
}
}
Got it!
So I amended the following code:
//Add paging to footer
{
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.SetTextMatrix(document.PageSize.GetRight(100), document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
cb.ShowText(text);
cb.EndText();
float len = bf.GetWidthPoint(text, 10);
cb.AddTemplate(footerTemplate, document.PageSize.GetRight(100) + len, document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
//add image to footer
writer.DirectContent.AddImage(footerImage);
}
with
//Add paging to footer
{
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.SetTextMatrix(document.PageSize.GetRight(100), document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
cb.ShowText(text);
cb.EndText();
float len = bf.GetWidthPoint(text, 10);
cb.AddTemplate(footerTemplate, document.PageSize.GetRight(100) + len, document.PageSize.GetBottom(30));
//this part adds the background color
cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY);
cb.Rectangle(0, 0, document.PageSize.Width, 50);
cb.FillStroke();
//add image to footer
writer.DirectContent.AddImage(footerImage);
}

How to specify a row background in table with iText5

When creating a PDF table with iText5, it is possible to create a table background by implementing a PdfPTableEvent and a cell background by implementing a PdfPCellEvent.
But what about a row background? How can I create that?
The reason is because I want to create a calendar table like in the image below:
Actually, you have included the answer in your question: you have to use a table event. Take a look at the RowBackground example. It contains a table event RowBackgroundEvent that allows you to create a table event to draw the background of a single row.
public class RowBackgroundEvent implements PdfPTableEvent {
// the row number of the row that needs a background
protected int row;
// creates a background event for a specific row
public RowBackgroundEvent(int row) {
this.row = row;
}
/**
* Draws the background of a row.
*/
#Override
public void tableLayout(PdfPTable table, float[][] widths, float[] heights,
int headerRows, int rowStart, PdfContentByte[] canvases) {
float llx = widths[row][0];
float lly = heights[row];
float urx = widths[row][widths[row].length - 1];
float ury = heights[row - 1];
float h = ury - lly;
PdfContentByte canvas = canvases[PdfPTable.BASECANVAS];
canvas.saveState();
canvas.arc(llx - h / 2, lly, llx + h / 2, ury, 90, 180);
canvas.lineTo(urx, lly);
canvas.arc(urx - h / 2, lly, urx + h / 2, ury, 270, 180);
canvas.lineTo(llx, ury);
canvas.setColorFill(BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY);
canvas.fill();
canvas.restoreState();
}
}
This is how this event is used:
public void createPdf(String filename) throws SQLException, DocumentException, IOException {
// step 1
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate());
// step 2
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(filename));
// step 3
document.open();
// step 4
PdfPTableEvent event = new RowBackgroundEvent(3);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.setTableEvent(event);
table.getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j < 8; j++) {
table.addCell(String.valueOf(j));
}
}
document.add(table);
// step 5
document.close();
}
As you can see, we want a background for the third row. The result looks like this:
You can tweak the llx, lly, urx, and ury value if you want to adapt the size of the background bar.
If you can draw the background of a single row, you can extend the code to draw the background of more than one row.

How can you eliminate white-space in multiple columns using iTextSharp?

I'd like to add a Paragraph of text to pages in 2 columns. I understand that MultiColumnText has been eliminated. I know I can create column 1, write to it, and if there is more text create column 2 and write to it. If there is still more text, go to the next page and repeat.
However I always end up with either:
a long chunk of text orphaned in the left column.
a full left column and partially used right column.
How can I format my content in 2 columns while reducing white space, such as compressing the columns so I end with 2 full columns of equal length?
Thanks!
You should add your column twice, once in simulation mode and once for real.
I have adapted the ColumnTextParagraphs example to show what is meant by simulation mode. Take a look at the ColumnTextParagraphs2 example:
We add the column in simulation mode to obtain the total height needed for the column. This is done in the following method:
public float getNecessaryHeight(ColumnText ct) throws DocumentException {
ct.setSimpleColumn(new Rectangle(0, 0, COLUMN_WIDTH, -500000));
ct.go(true);
return -ct.getYLine();
}
We use this height when we add the left and right column:
Rectangle left;
float top = COLUMNS[0].getTop();
float middle = (COLUMNS[0].getLeft() + COLUMNS[1].getRight()) / 2;
float columnheight;
int status = ColumnText.START_COLUMN;
while (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
if (checkHeight(height)) {
columnheight = COLUMNS[0].getHeight();
left = COLUMNS[0];
}
else {
columnheight = (height / 2) + ERROR_MARGIN;
left = new Rectangle(
COLUMNS[0].getLeft(),
COLUMNS[0].getTop() - columnheight,
COLUMNS[0].getRight(),
COLUMNS[0].getTop()
);
}
// left half
ct.setSimpleColumn(left);
ct.go();
height -= COLUMNS[0].getTop() - ct.getYLine();
// separator
canvas.moveTo(middle, top - columnheight);
canvas.lineTo(middle, top);
canvas.stroke();
// right half
ct.setSimpleColumn(COLUMNS[1]);
status = ct.go();
height -= COLUMNS[1].getTop() - ct.getYLine();
// new page
document.newPage();
}
This is how we check the height:
public boolean checkHeight(float height) {
height -= COLUMNS[0].getHeight() + COLUMNS[1].getHeight() + ERROR_MARGIN;
return height > 0;
}
As you can see, we add the full columns as long as the height of both columns is smaller than the remaining height. When columns are added, we adjust the remaining height. As soon as the height is lower than the height of to columns, we adapt the height of the first column.
Note that we work with an ERROR_MARGIN because dividing by two often leads to a situation where the second column has one line more than the first column. It is better when it's the other way around.
This is the full example at your request:

How can I combine multiple PDF files excluding page breaks using iTextSharp?

I wonder if anyone has done this with iTextSharp, but I would like to combine multiple PDF files into one but leave the page breaks out. For example, I would like to create 4 PDF files containing 3 lines of text each, so I want the resulting file to have all 12 lines in 1 page. Is this possible?
As the OP also tagged this question with [iText] and I am more at home with Java than .Net, here an answer for iText/Java. It should be easy to translate to iTextSharp/C#.
The original question
I would like to combine multiple PDF files into one but leave the page breaks out. For example, I would like to create 4 PDF files containing 3 lines of text each, so I want the resulting file to have all 12 lines in 1 page.
For PDF files as indicated in that example you can use this simple utility class:
public class PdfDenseMergeTool
{
public PdfDenseMergeTool(Rectangle size, float top, float bottom, float gap)
{
this.pageSize = size;
this.topMargin = top;
this.bottomMargin = bottom;
this.gap = gap;
}
public void merge(OutputStream outputStream, Iterable<PdfReader> inputs) throws DocumentException, IOException
{
try
{
openDocument(outputStream);
for (PdfReader reader: inputs)
{
merge(reader);
}
}
finally
{
closeDocument();
}
}
void openDocument(OutputStream outputStream) throws DocumentException
{
final Document document = new Document(pageSize, 36, 36, topMargin, bottomMargin);
final PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, outputStream);
document.open();
this.document = document;
this.writer = writer;
newPage();
}
void closeDocument()
{
try
{
document.close();
}
finally
{
this.document = null;
this.writer = null;
this.yPosition = 0;
}
}
void newPage()
{
document.newPage();
yPosition = pageSize.getTop(topMargin);
}
void merge(PdfReader reader) throws IOException
{
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);
for (int page = 1; page <= reader.getNumberOfPages(); page++)
{
merge(reader, parser, page);
}
}
void merge(PdfReader reader, PdfReaderContentParser parser, int page) throws IOException
{
TextMarginFinder finder = parser.processContent(page, new TextMarginFinder());
Rectangle pageSizeToImport = reader.getPageSize(page);
float heightToImport = finder.getHeight();
float maxHeight = pageSize.getHeight() - topMargin - bottomMargin;
if (heightToImport > maxHeight)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format("Page %s content too large; height: %s, limit: %s.", page, heightToImport, maxHeight));
}
if (heightToImport > yPosition - pageSize.getBottom(bottomMargin))
{
newPage();
}
else if (!writer.isPageEmpty())
{
heightToImport += gap;
}
yPosition -= heightToImport;
PdfImportedPage importedPage = writer.getImportedPage(reader, page);
writer.getDirectContent().addTemplate(importedPage, 0, yPosition - (finder.getLly() - pageSizeToImport.getBottom()));
}
Document document = null;
PdfWriter writer = null;
float yPosition = 0;
final Rectangle pageSize;
final float topMargin;
final float bottomMargin;
final float gap;
}
If you have a list of PdfReader instances inputs, you can merge them like this into an OutputStream output:
PdfDenseMergeTool tool = new PdfDenseMergeTool(PageSize.A4, 18, 18, 5);
tool.merge(output, inputs);
This creates a merged document using an A4 page size, a top and bottom margin of 18/72" each and a gap between contents of different PDF pages of 5/72".
The comments
The iText TextMarginFinder (used in the PdfDenseMergeTool above) only considers text. If other content types also are to be considered, this class has to be extended somewhat.
Each PDF has just a few lines, perhaps a table or an image, but I want the end result in one page.
If the tables contain decorations reaching above or below the text content (e.g. lines or colored backgrounds), you should use a larger gap value. Unfortunately the parsing framework used by the TextMarginFinder does not forward vector graphics commands to the finder.
If the images are bitmap images, the TextMarginFinder should be extended by implementing its renderImage method to take the image area into account, too.
Also, some of the PDFs may contain fields, so I'd like to keep those fields in the resulting combined PDF as well.
If AcroForm fields are also to be considered, you have to
extend the rectangle represented by the TextMarginFinder to also include the visualization rectangles of the widget annotations, and
extend the PdfDenseMergeTool.merge(PdfReader, PdfReaderContentParser, int) method to also copy those widget annotations.
Update
I wrote above
Unfortunately the parsing framework used by the TextMarginFinder does not forward vector graphics commands to the finder.
Meanwhile (in version 5.5.6) that parsing framework has been extended to also forward vector graphics commands.
If you replace the line
TextMarginFinder finder = parser.processContent(page, new TextMarginFinder());
by
MarginFinder finder = parser.processContent(page, new MarginFinder());
using the MarginFinder class presented at the bottom of this answer, all content is considered, not merely text.

itextsharp PdfCopy and landscape pages

I'm using itextsharp to join mutiple pdf documents and add a footer.
My code works fine - except for landscape pages - it isn't detecting the page rotation - the footer is not centerd for landscape:
public static int AddPagesFromStream(Document document, PdfCopy pdfCopy, Stream m, bool addFooter, int detailPages, string footer, int footerPageNumOffset, int numPages, string pageLangString, string printLangString)
{
CreateFont();
try
{
m.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
var reader = new PdfReader(m);
// get page count
var pdfPages = reader.NumberOfPages;
var i = 0;
// add pages
while (i < pdfPages)
{
i++;
// import page with pdfcopy
var page = pdfCopy.GetImportedPage(reader, i);
// get page center
float posX;
float posY;
var rotation = page.BoundingBox.Rotation;
if (rotation == 0 || rotation == 180)
{
posX = page.Width / 2;
posY = 0;
}
else
{
posX = page.Height / 2;
posY = 20f;
}
var ps = pdfCopy.CreatePageStamp(page);
var cb = ps.GetOverContent();
// add footer
cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.WHITE);
var gs1 = new PdfGState {FillOpacity = 0.8f};
cb.SetGState(gs1);
cb.Rectangle(0, 0, document.PageSize.Width, 46f + posY);
cb.Fill();
// Text
cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.BLACK);
cb.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, 7);
cb.BeginText();
// create text
var pages = string.Format(pageLangString, i + footerPageNumOffset, numPages);
cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, printLangString, posX, 40f + posY, 0f);
cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, footer, posX, 28f + posY, 0f);
cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, pages, posX, 20f + posY, 0f);
cb.EndText();
ps.AlterContents();
// add page to new pdf
pdfCopy.AddPage(page);
}
// close PdfReader
reader.Close();
// return number of pages
return i;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
return 0;
}
}
How do I detect the page rotation (e.g. landscape) format in this case? The given example works for PdfReader but not for PdfCopy.
Edit:
Why do I need PdfCopy? I tried copying a word pdf export. Some word hyperlinks will not work when you try to copy pages with PdfReader. Only PdfCopy transfers all needed page informations.
Edit: (SOLVED)
You need to use reader.GetPageRotation(i);
You need to use reader.GetPageRotation(i);

In your code sample, page is of type PdfImportedPage. You're asking for its Bounding Box. PdfImportedPage is of type PdfTemplate, so you're asking for the Bounding Box of an XObject. I doubt that will work.
You should ask the reader object for the rotation of the page. I guess you've already discovered that yourself because you say "The given example works for PdfReader, but not for PdfCopy".
