> Hi:

> I need to create a pdf file, with layout like [header | table of data

> Ideally, like to import a template pdf file of layout [ header | xx |

> Or, can I import header.pdf (into what object), add content to

> Is this achievable using iText? Form fill seems to require fixed

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(fileName));
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
// import header
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("Header.pdf");
PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
cb.addTemplate(page1, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0f, 0f);
// add table
document.add(new Paragraph("--- start of data table ---"));
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
for() {
table.addCell();
}
document.add(table)
document.add(new Paragraph("--- end of data table ---"));
// import footer
PdfReader reader2 = new PdfReader("Footer.pdf");
PdfImportedPage page2 = writer.getImportedPage(reader2, 1);
cb.addTemplate(page2, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0, -320);
