The other thing was I read that to do a footer like "Page x of y" I need to use templates, but I couldn't understand how to use templates to acheive this. Can anyone point me at an example?
private BaseFont baseFont;
(when doc is created:)
doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER); // leave space for footer template: doc.setMargins(36F, 36F, 36F, 80F); // left, right, top, bottom
(class must extend PdfPageEventHelper:)
public void onStartPage(PdfWriter pdfWriter, Document doc) {
String s;
float widthPoint;
s = "Page " + pdfWriter.getPageNumber() + " of ";
widthPoint = baseFont.getWidthPoint(s, 10);
baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
contentByte = pdfWriter.getDirectContent();
if (template == null) {
template = contentByte.createTemplate(50, 50); // width, height
} contentByte.beginText();
contentByte.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 10);
contentByte.setTextMatrix(280, 40); // move to x, y relative to template
contentByte.showText(s);
contentByte.endText();
contentByte.addTemplate(template, 280 + widthPoint, 40);
}
public void onCloseDocument(PdfWriter pdfWriter, Document doc) {
template.beginText();
template.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 10);
template.showText(String.valueOf(pdfWriter.getPageNumber() - 1));
template.endText();
