Question

I am creating Shipping Label using iTextSharp.

What I am doing is Creating a Label in PDF so I can format it in any way I want and then send it to my THERMAL PRINTER.

My problem is, My labels are of size 4×6 (standard shipping label). These are the labels which we see on UPS & Fedex Packages. How Can i make my PDF exactly fit within 4×6 inches? currently It is printing in regular A4 document.

I am using following:

Dim document As New Document()
document.SetPageSize(PageSize.A4_LANDSCAPE)

Answer 1

Set a Custom Page Size:

Dim pgSize As New iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(myWidth, myHeight) 
Dim doc As New iTextSharp.text.Document(pgSize, leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin, bottomMargin)

iTextSharp uses 72 pixels per inch, so if you know the height and width of your desired page size in inches, just multiply those numbers by 72 to get myWidth and myHeight.
