We are using iTextSharp5.5.5 to create pdf and ran into issue when positioning text to the bottom of the page. I tried to set the absolute position just like the image but that didn't work. How to display paragraph(paragraphCopyright in below code) at the bottom of the page?
var document = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10);
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream("Sample.pdf", FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
var paragraphCopyright = new Paragraph("This text should be at the very bottom of the page", new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 20f, Font.BOLD)); // this text should be at the bottom
paragraphCopyright.Alignment = 1;
document.Add(paragraphCopyright);
var imgLogo = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(@"logo.PNG");
imgLogo.ScaleAbsolute(120, 80);
imgLogo.SetAbsolutePosition(PageSize.A4.Rotate().Width - 140, 20);
document.Add(imgLogo);
document.Close();
You can create Footer class and use it.
Create a class that inherited by PdfPageEventHelper
.
Create table in this class and write footer content.
public partial class Footer : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document doc)
{
Paragraph footer = new Paragraph("THANK YOU", FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL));
footer.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
PdfPTable footerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
footerTbl.TotalWidth = 300;
footerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(footer);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
footerTbl.AddCell(cell);
footerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 415, 30, writer.DirectContent);
}
}
After this
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 25, 25);
var output = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("Demo.pdf"), FileMode.Create);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, output);
// Open the Document for writing
document.Open();
//using footer class
writer.PageEvent = new Footer();.
Paragraph welcomeParagraph = new Paragraph("Hello, World!");
document.Add(welcomeParagraph);
document.Close();
And another way - You can simply add code below
Paragraph copyright = new Paragraph("© 2020 AO XXX. All rights reserved.", calibri8Black);
PdfPTable footerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
footerTbl.TotalWidth = 300;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(copyright);
cell.Border = 0;
footerTbl.AddCell(cell);
footerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 30, 30, writer.DirectContent);
