I found the answer: Instead of the 2nd Method, add more files to the first array of input files. public static void CombineMultiplePDFs(string[] fileNames, string outFile) { // step 1: creation of a document-object Document document = new Document(); //create newFileStream object which will be disposed at the end using (FileStream newFileStream = new FileStream(outFile, … Read more
I inspected your file with a special focus on your sample “मतद|र” being extracted as “मतदरर” in the topmost line of the document pages. In a nutshell: Your document itself provides the information that e.g. the glyphs “मतद|र” in the head line represent the text “मतदरर”. You should ask the source of your document for … Read more
If you want to change the contents of an existing PDF file and add extra content such as watermarks, pagenumbers, extra headers, PdfStamper is the object you need. I have successfully used the following code to insert an image into an existing pdf file to a given absolute position: using System.IO; using iTextSharp.text; using iTextSharp.text.pdf; … Read more
Return a FileContentResult. The last line in your controller action would be something like: return File(“Chap0101.pdf”, “application/pdf”); If you are generating this PDF dynamically, it may be better to use a MemoryStream, and create the document in memory instead of saving to file. The code would be something like: Document document = new Document(); MemoryStream … Read more
Its very important to understand that PDFs have no support for tables. Anything that looks like a table is really just a bunch of text placed at specific locations over a background of lines. This is very important and you need to keep this in mind as you work on this. That said, you need … Read more
You need to use container elements which support RunDirection, such as ColumnText or PdfPCell and then set their element.RunDirection = PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL List<IElement> list = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(resultCache), ST); doc.Open(); //Use a table so that we can set the text direction PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1); //Ensure that wrapping is on, otherwise Right to Left text will … Read more
Here is a very, very simple version of an implementation. Before implementing it is very important to know that PDFs have zero concept of “words”, “paragraphs”, “sentences”, etc. Also, text within a PDF is not necessarily laid out left to right and top to bottom and this has nothing to do with non-LTR languages. The … Read more
Your second way is probably the simplest way. Below is a very, very slimmed down but working version: public class MyPdfPageEventHelpPageNo : iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPageEventHelper { public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(writer.DirectContent, Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new Phrase(writer.PageNumber.ToString()), 500, 140, 0); } } And to use it: //Create a file on our desktop string outputFile = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), … Read more
Method 1: Using embedded javascript inside your PDF files You can try creating an iText PDFAction object with a javascript call this.print(false) (you can use new PdfAction(PdfAction.PRINTDIALOG) for this), and associate it with the OpenAction event of your pdf file. The code in iText Java should look like this: PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(“file.pdf”)); … Read more
I came across the same question a few weeks ago and this is the result from what I found. This method does a quick dump of HTML to a PDF. The document will most likely need some format tweaking. private MemoryStream createPDF(string html) { MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream(); TextReader reader = new StringReader(html); // … Read more
