I'm lost at the moment.
What I try to accomplish is adding one PDF on another (like a watermark).
The problem is that I dont seems to understand the coordinate system that is used because
my watermark just behaves unexpected.
The two PDFs have different dimensions.
My target has the following dimensions:
595 height
842 width
The PDF that shall be added has this dimension:
41 height
552 width
In my code I do the following:
public bool AddPdf(ref PdfReader pdfSource, ref PdfReader pdfTarget, ref FileStream destination)
{
PdfStamper stamper = null;
try
{
stamper = new PdfStamper( pdfSource, destination );
PdfImportedPage importatedPage = stamper.GetImportedPage(pdfTarget, 1);
PdfContentByte background;
for (int iPage = 1; iPage <= pdfSource.NumberOfPages; iPage++)
{
background = stamper.GetOverContent(iPage);
background.AddTemplate(importatedPage, 0, 0 + importHeight);
}
}
When I do this I would expect my watermark to appear in the bottom left.
Instead it is somewhere of the page (I dont see it). Just for testing I hardcoded 600 as y position and then it is centered vertically on the page.
Can someone give me a tip please?
So i solved the issue.
The problem was that the sourcepdf had a cropbox - i only needed to correct my x and y position with that information:
PdfStamper stamper = null;
try
{
stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfSource, destination);
PdfImportedPage importatedPage = stamper.GetImportedPage(pdfTarget, 1);
PdfContentByte background;
for (int iPage = 1; iPage <= pdfSource.NumberOfPages; iPage++)
{
background = stamper.GetOverContent(iPage);
// here comes the important part
Rectangle cropBox = pdfSource.GetCropBox(iPage);
float xCorrected = 0 + cropBox.Left;
float yCorrected = 0 + cropBox.Bottom;
background.AddTemplate(importatedPage, xCorrected, yCorrected);
}
}
Take in mind that in case the pdf that you want to stamp on your original has also a cropbox, you need to reduce the x,y by x,y of that cropbox again.

I am trying to add a header to existing pdf documents in Java with iText. I can add the header at a fixed place on the document, but all the documents are different page sizes, so it is not always at the top of the page. I have tried getting the page size so that I could calculate the position of the header, but it seems as if the page size is not actually what I want. On some documents, calling reader.getPageSize(i).getTop(20) will place the text in the right place at the top of the page, however, on some different documents it will place it half way down the page. Most of the pages have been scanned be a Xerox copier, if that makes a difference. Here is the code I am using:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(readFilePath);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(writeFilePath));
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.getNumberOfPages(); i++) {
PdfContentByte cb = stamper.getOverContent(i);
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 14);
float x = reader.getPageSize(i).getWidth() / 2;
float y = reader.getPageSize(i).getTop(20);
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, "Copy", x, y, 0);
cb.endText();
}
stamper.close();
PDF that works correctly
PDF that works incorrectly
Take a look at the StampHeader1 example. I adapted your code, introducing ColumnText.showTextAligned() and using a Phrase for the sake of simplicity (maybe you can change that part of your code too):
public void manipulatePdf(String src, String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest));
Phrase header = new Phrase("Copy", new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 14));
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.getNumberOfPages(); i++) {
float x = reader.getPageSize(i).getWidth() / 2;
float y = reader.getPageSize(i).getTop(20);
ColumnText.showTextAligned(
stamper.getOverContent(i), Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
header, x, y, 0);
}
stamper.close();
reader.close();
}
As you have found out, this code assumes that no rotation was defined.
Now take a look at the StampHeader2 example. I'm using your "Wrong" file and I've added one extra line:
stamper.setRotateContents(false);
By telling the stamper not to rotate the content I'm adding, I'm adding the content using the coordinates as if the page isn't rotated. Please take a look at the result: stamped_header2.pdf. We added "Copy" at the top of the page, but as the page is rotated, we see the word appear on the side. The word is rotated because the page is rotated.
Maybe that's what you want, maybe it isn't. If it isn't, please take a look at StampHeader3 in which I calculate x and y differently, based on the rotation of the page:
if (reader.getPageRotation(i) % 180 == 0) {
x = reader.getPageSize(i).getWidth() / 2;
y = reader.getPageSize(i).getTop(20);
}
else {
x = reader.getPageSize(i).getHeight() / 2;
y = reader.getPageSize(i).getRight(20);
}
Now the word "Copy" appears on what is perceived as the "top of the page" (but in reality, it could be the side of the page): stamped_header3.pdf
I tiied to add a TextBox to the right corner of the existing pdf using c#, but im unable to get it done. I have wrote the following code,but it is not helping in solving the problem, can any body please suggest me
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(bytes);
PdfReader.unethicalreading = true;
Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
Document doc = new Document();
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream))
{
PdfContentByte canvas = stamper.GetOverContent(1);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
//PdfContentByte cb = null;
//PdfImportedPage page;
int pages = reader.NumberOfPages;
for (int i = 1; i <= pages; i++)
{
var size1 = reader.GetPageSize(i);
w = size1.Width;
h = size1.Height;
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
TextField tf = new TextField(stamper.Writer, new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 100), displaytext);
//Change the orientation of the text
tf.Rotation = 0;
stamper.AddAnnotation(tf.GetTextField(), i);
}
}
bytes = stream.ToArray();
}
File.WriteAllBytes(str, bytes);
As the OP clarified in comments to the question, he wants
to add the text as a page content in the right bottom corner of the page and
the page content previously existing there to be removed.
A simple implementation of this would include
first covering the existing page content with a filled rectangle and
then writing text there.
These tasks can be achieved with these helper methods:
void EmptyTextBoxSimple(PdfStamper stamper, int pageNumber, Rectangle boxArea, BaseColor fillColor)
{
PdfContentByte canvas = stamper.GetOverContent(pageNumber);
canvas.SaveState();
canvas.SetColorFill(fillColor);
canvas.Rectangle(boxArea.Left, boxArea.Bottom, boxArea.Width, boxArea.Height);
canvas.Fill();
canvas.RestoreState();
}
and
ColumnText GenerateTextBox(PdfStamper stamper, int pageNumber, Rectangle boxArea)
{
PdfContentByte canvas = stamper.GetOverContent(pageNumber);
ColumnText columnText = new ColumnText(canvas);
columnText.SetSimpleColumn(boxArea);
return columnText;
}
E.g. like this:
using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(source))
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(dest, FileMode.Create)))
{
Rectangle cropBox = reader.GetCropBox(1);
Rectangle bottomRight = new Rectangle(cropBox.GetRight(216), cropBox.Bottom, cropBox.Right, cropBox.GetBottom(146));
EmptyTextBoxSimple(stamper, 1, bottomRight, BaseColor.WHITE);
ColumnText columnText = GenerateTextBox(stamper, 1, bottomRight);
columnText.AddText(new Phrase("Some test text to draw into a text box in the lower right corner of the first page"));
columnText.Go();
}
For this source page
the sample code generates this
Addendum
In a comment the OP indicated
it is working for all files but for some pdf files it is displaying in the middle
Eventually he supplied a sample file for which the issue occurs. And indeed, with this file the issue could be reproduced.
The cause for the issue is that the pages in the sample file use page rotation, something that iText (only) partially allows users to ignore. In particular iText automatically rotates text to be upright after rotation and transforms coordinates, but when retrieving the cropbox of a page, one still has to apply rotation before making use of it coordinates. Thus, a more complete example would be like this:
using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(source))
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(dest, FileMode.Create)))
{
Rectangle cropBox = reader.GetCropBox(1);
int rotation = reader.GetPageRotation(1);
while (rotation > 0)
{
cropBox = cropBox.Rotate();
rotation -= 90;
}
Rectangle bottomRight = new Rectangle(cropBox.GetRight(216), cropBox.Bottom, cropBox.Right, cropBox.GetBottom(146));
EmptyTextBoxSimple(stamper, 1, bottomRight, BaseColor.WHITE);
ColumnText columnText = GenerateTextBox(stamper, 1, bottomRight);
columnText.AddText(new Phrase("Some test text to draw into a text box in the lower right corner of the first page"));
columnText.Go();
}
Adding a time series bar chart for a large time span in PDF results in large file size like 50 MB or more depending on the data points. Here are the code samples:
Adding chart to PDF
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(RESULT));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
float width = PageSize.A4.getWidth();
float height = PageSize.A4.getHeight() / 2;
PdfTemplate bar = cb.createTemplate(width, height);
Graphics2D g2d2 = new PdfGraphics2D(bar, width, height);
Rectangle2D r2d2 = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, width, height);
getBarChart().draw(g2d2, r2d2);
g2d2.dispose();
cb.addTemplate(bar, 0, 0);
document.close();
Creating chart
JFreeChart getBarChart() {
TimeSeries series = new TimeSeries("Data");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
for (int i=0; i<365*24; i++) {
cal.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
series.addOrUpdate(new Millisecond(cal.getTime()), Math.random());
}
XYPlot plot = new XYPlot();
plot.setDataset(new XYBarDataset(new TimeSeriesCollection(series), 10));
plot.setRenderer(new XYBarRenderer());
plot.setRangeAxis(new NumberAxis());
plot.setDomainAxis(new DateAxis());
return new JFreeChart(plot);
}
How can I reduce the file size?
Using itextpdf-5.4.4 and jfreechart-1.0.15.
While inspecting the PDF provided by the OP, it quickly becomes apparent that it is full of Pattern definitions and the like used for drawing pretty bars. To reduce the PDF size, therefore, simplifying the bar design is the way to go.
In the case at hand this can be done by setting a different default bar painter (using XYBarRenderer.setDefaultBarPainter()). The initial value of that attribute is a GradientXYBarPainter, but using gradients for so small bars makes the number of required drawing operations and operators explode while only making a difference at a gigantic zoom level, if at all.
As already worked out in the comments to the question, using the StandardXYBarPainter instead solves the size issues.
You can try to set full compression and compare the difference:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(new FileInputStream("in.pdf"));
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("out.pdf"));
int total = reader.getNumberOfPages() + 1;
for ( int i=1; i<total; i++) {
reader.setPageContent(i + 1, reader.getPageContent(i + 1));
}
stamper.setFullCompression();
stamper.close();
I'm developing a System in which I have to add some images to an existing PDF Document.
This works great with iText 5.1.3, but for some reason in a PDF that contains a scanned image it won't add any of the images.
Here's the link to the PDF Document that can't be modified with PdfStamper
and here's the code
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("Registro celular_OR.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("DocStamped.pdf"));
Image img = Image.getInstance("someImage.jpg");
img.setAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
img.scaleAbsolute(50f, 50f);
PdfContentByte over = null;
int total = reader.getNumberOfPages() + 1;
for(int i = 1; i < total; i++) {
System.out.println("Procesando Pagina: " + i);
over = stamper.getOverContent(i);
over.addImage(img);
over.beginText();
BaseFont bf_times = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, "Cp1252", false);
over.setFontAndSize(bf_times, 8);
over.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, "TEXTO PRUEBA", 50, 50, 0);
over.endText();
}
stamper.close();
A PDF page does not need to have its lower left corner at (0, 0). It can be anywhere in the coordinate system. So an A4 page can be (0, 0, 595, 842), but it might as well be (1000, 2000, 1595, 2842).
You are positioning the image at (0, 0):
img.setAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
But the page of this document is defined as (0, 15366, 469, 15728). The image is actually added to the output document, but it's outside the visible area of the page.
You have to get the coordinates of the page to position the image. Inside the loop, do this:
img.setAbsolutePosition(reader.getPageSize(i).getLeft(), reader.getPageSize(i).getBottom());
I'm using iTextSharp 5.0.6 to read an existing PDF, iterate each page stamping text on each, and then writing out the newly stamped PDF. The issue I'm faced with is that this isn't working 100% of the time. For some PDFs every page is stamped as expected, for others most pages are stamped while some are not. Seems as if there's potentially an issue where the stamper's GetOverContent() is not returning the top-most layer, but that's just an assumption. Has anyone had a similar issue?
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
const string WATERMARK_TEXT = "John Doe";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string masterPdf = "master.pdf";
string pdfToCreate = "watermark.pdf";
byte[] bytes = StampPDF(masterPdf);
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(pdfToCreate, FileMode.Create))
{
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
}
static byte[] StampPDF(string PdfPath)
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(PdfPath);
int pageCount = reader.NumberOfPages;
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, memoryStream);
float fontSize = 9;
float textAngle = 0f;
BaseFont font = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
BaseColor backgroundColor = new BaseColor(0, 0, 0);
BaseColor fontColor = new BaseColor(255, 255, 255);
float padding = 2f;
float fontWidth = font.GetWidthPoint(WATERMARK_TEXT, fontSize);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle pageSize;
PdfContentByte pageContents;
for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++)
{
pageSize = reader.GetPageSize(i);
pageContents = stamper.GetOverContent(i);
//draw a rectangle
pageContents.SetColorFill(backgroundColor);
pageContents.MoveTo(pageSize.Width - (fontWidth + padding), 0f);
pageContents.LineTo(pageSize.Width, 0f);
pageContents.LineTo(pageSize.Width, 14f);
pageContents.LineTo(pageSize.Width - (fontWidth + padding), 14f);
pageContents.Fill();
//drop our watermark on top of the rectangle we just created
pageContents.BeginText();
pageContents.SetColorFill(fontColor);
pageContents.SetFontAndSize(font, fontSize);
pageContents.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, WATERMARK_TEXT, pageSize.Width - fontWidth, 4, textAngle);
pageContents.EndText();
}
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();
return memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
For those that may encounter the same problem the key is inspecting the CropBox. Since the dimensions of a PDF's CropBox may be less than that of its PageSize you need to conditionally use one or the other. So, based on the code sample above the for loop would be altered as so:
for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++)
{
mediaBox = reader.GetPageSize(i);
cropBox = reader.GetCropBox(i);
overContent = stamper.GetOverContent(i);
if (cropBox != null && (cropBox.Width < mediaBox.Width || cropBox.Height < cropBox.Height))
mediaBox = cropBox;
//draw a rectangle
overContent.SetColorFill(backgroundColor);
overContent.MoveTo(mediaBox.Right - (fontWidth + fontPadding), mediaBox.Bottom);
overContent.LineTo(mediaBox.Right, mediaBox.Bottom);
overContent.LineTo(mediaBox.Right, mediaBox.Bottom + rectangleHeight);
overContent.LineTo(mediaBox.Right - (fontWidth + fontPadding), mediaBox.Bottom + rectangleHeight);
overContent.ClosePathFillStroke();
//drop our watermark on top of the rectangle we just created
overContent.BeginText();
overContent.SetColorFill(fontColor);
overContent.SetFontAndSize(font, fontSize);
overContent.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, WATERMARK_TEXT, mediaBox.Right - fontWidth, mediaBox.Bottom + (rectangleHeight - fontSize), textAngle);
overContent.EndText();
}
You've made two mistakes:
You're assuming that the pages aren't rotated, but they can be: 90, 180, 270. Note that I've never seen a 180 page, but its legal. When drawing to a rotated page, you have to take that rotation into account when drawing on it. Fun with transformation matrices.
You're assuming that the page's (unrotated) lower left corner is 0,0. You're basing your measurements on the page's width and height (close), but aren't adjusting for any offset in that bottom left corner.
There are three ways to do a landscape page:
11"x8.5"
8.5"x11" # 90 degrees rotation
8.5"x11" # 270 degrees rotation
Technically, a 4th way is to build an 11x8.5 # 180, but anyone writing such code should be Punished. A lot.
There are various SO questions floating about that give details on how to deal with page rotation. Going by your code, I'd say you'll figure out the llx,lly thing pretty quickly.
