Hi, Im using a custom "header" with PdfPageEvent stuff.
Basically, what I'm doing is accepting a fairly complex PdfPTable header, which has an image and several cells of text. My code is generalized to take an "Element" class header, and insert it into the document as a header using events. Unfortunately, the way I've done it is to use onStartPage to add the PdfPTable every time I get an onPageEvent. This doesnt work so well, because although it works great for all pages (mostly), it doesnt work great for the last page. It always seems to add an additional page somehow, and Im not sure how to prevent this -- i.e. a blank additional page after whatever else is there which only contains the header and footer (footer is like the chapter 1201 page n of m example, header is unique) Ive tried several work arounds to no avail: - Using onEndPage (which works for all pages but the first in the case of my document, but not the first and last -- the last being the big difficulty). It does get rid of the extra page, however. - Inserting a small line of invisible text after the table, so as to avoid potential weirdness with PdfPTable (no avail) I cant seem to see how to insert the table like the chapter 1201 example, which inserts straight text and seems to allocate space for it somehow. My insertion method is just Document.add(Element e), but Im beginning to suspect thats a no-go. Any other way i could add an element without overwriting other things space? Following from there, what I dont understand is why onPageEvent is getting triggered to make an additional page after the document has ended. You mention it is "As a page is being created"... Heres what I saw in my logging of pageEvents in a docuemnt that has data from page 2-7 but has basically a header and empty page for page 8 (no page 9 obviously) DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 1 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 2 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 2 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 3 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 3 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 4 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 4 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 5 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 5 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 6 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 6 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 7 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 7 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 8 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] triggering on end page on pagenumber 8 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] trigger onStartPage for 9 DEBUG (report.HeaderEvent) [] called onCloseDocument I suspect that my document.add call is triggering another onStartPage event for the #8, but if that was the case, woudlnt I be getting a double header at the end or an endless loop (which I'm not). It doesnt make a lot of sense for that to be triggered either, since my header isnt pushing text page page number 7... Any ideas? Is this a bug, or am I just doing something really dumb? Any help is greatly appreciated! Tom _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
