Question

I am using iTextSharp and CSharp for creating the pdf.I am creating many tables.So i need to position each tables in different location.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

I use this code because the original pdfptable automates it’s position:

        Private mywriter As PdfWriter
        Dim Theight = Table.CalculateHeights
        Dim DirectC As PdfContentByte = mywriter.DirectContent
        Dim templ = DirectC.CreateTemplate(Table.TotalWidth, Theight)
        Table.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 0.0F, Theight, templ)
        Dim myimage = Image.GetInstance(templ)

        Dim CenterH = (Doc.Top + Doc.BottomMargin) / 2

        Dim NewPosH = CenterH - myimage.Height / 2

        Dim CenterW = mywriter.PageSize.Width / 2
        Dim NewPosW = CenterW - myimage.Width / 2

        myimage.SetAbsolutePosition(NewPosW, NewPosH)
        DirectC.AddImage(myimage)

This Code positions the table in the middle of the page. Beware: The coordinate system begins in the LOWER left, not in the upper left.
Its vb.net code, but adaption should not be too hard.
