Question

Following Code streams PDF file to the Browser, however I want to SAVE it to the disk (c:\myfile.pdf)…

Dim FilePath As String = Server.MapPath("/docs/templates/page_1_cover.pdf")
Dim reader As New PdfReader(FilePath)

Dim output As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
Dim stamper As PdfStamper = New PdfStamper(reader, output)

stamper.AcroFields.SetField("APPLICANT NAME", "KnowlegeZone")


reader.Close()
stamper.Close()


Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=YourPDF_I9.pdf")
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

Response.BinaryWrite(output.ToArray())
Response.End()

I am using iTextSharp.

Answer 1

In this solution, I can use “PdfStamper” to Save the file, instead of using any other method.

Dim FilePath As String = Server.MapPath("/docs/templates/page_1_cover.pdf")
Dim reader As New PdfReader(FilePath)

Dim newfile As FileStream
newfile = New FileStream(Server.MapPath("/docs/output/go.pdf"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)

Dim stamper As PdfStamper = New PdfStamper(reader, newfile)

stamper.AcroFields.SetField("APPLICANT NAME", "han")


reader.Close()
stamper.Close()
