Here are my requirements:
1. ability to add a company logo to an existing document on a mass scale.
So my steps are:
1. use PdfContentByte to copy the document
2. then add the logo to the copied document ie. cb.addImage(img);
3. and finally I need to CENTER this imported new page onto a new document.
The only thing not working is automatically centering it. I am using a
method which requires certain xy values. ie. cb.addTemplate(page, 1, 20);
which I don't want...
Is there a way to automatically do this?
Thanks for your time!

PdfContentByte is for manually placing stuff. It's a pretty low level
component.
You need to either center the template yourself, or put the image in a
container smart enough to center the image.
PdfDocument document = ...
document.add(img);
or
ColumnText ct = ...
ct.addElement(img);
Of these, if I understand your use case correctly, ColumnText will
probably be the better solution.
