[iText-questions] text with background color

[Martin R�pcke]

Hi,
I am using iText to concatenate two pdf-documents and add an overall 
"pagefooter", that is, a consistent looking pagenumbering and a 
watermark. Now, I would like the pagenumber to be a rectangle with some 
text and a background color. So far I havn't succeded in doing that. 
Also, the watermark doesn't appear at all. I have tried using PdfCopy as 
well as PdfWriter as writer-object.

This is my code: (I have "highlighted" where I believe the changes are 
to be made with %%%%% )

while (f < files.length) {
   PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(files[f]);
   reader.consolidateNamedDestinations();
   int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
   if (f == 0) {
       document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
       try {
           Watermark watermark = new 
Watermark(Image.getInstance("D://XO//Projekter//Test//Eksempel.jpg"), 
200, 320);
           document.add(watermark);
       }
       catch(Exception e) {
           System.err.println("Path to watermark is wrong!");
       }
       writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new 
FileOutputStream(outFile));
       document.open();
       cb = writer.getDirectContent();      
   }
   PdfImportedPage page;
   for (int i = 0; i < n; ) {
       document.newPage();
       ++i;
       page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
       cb.addTemplate(page, 0, 0);
       cb.beginText();
       cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 10);
       Color colorBlue = new Color(0x00,0x00,0xFF);
       cb.setColorFill(colorBlue);
       if(i%2==0) {
  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
           cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "text " + i + 
"/" + total, 0, 40, 0);
       }
       else {
           cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_RIGHT, "test " + i + 
"/" + total, 595, 40, 0);
       }
  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
       cb.endText();
       f++;
}

Thanks

Martin
