OK! I will try to explain you my problem in simple words.
In my programm I create a Chunk in which I want to save the toal page number.
For this problem I saw in your examples that I must use the PdfPTemplate. The
problem that I've got is, that this Chunk later will be added to a Pharagraph
with different other Chunks.
OK, but why on earth are you using a Generic Tag?
Create a PdfTemplate, wrap it in an Image.
Wrap the image in a Chunk.
The simple case is that I directly write this
Pharagraph into the Document. The other and the difficult case is, that this
Pharagraph can be added to a PdfPCell and in this cell the rotation can
change. Have you any idea how I can ensure that the total page number will be
correctly shown in the cell?
See the attached example.
