The coordinate system that PDF uses puts 0,0 at the bottom left, increasing X &
Y as you go up and to the right.
"Fixing" this is not even remotely easy. Don't try. Work with it instead.
If you want something at the top of the page, you need to know how tall the
page is, and how tall what you're drawing will be. The coordinates you specify
will Almost Always define the lower left corner of whatever it is you're
drawing.
NOTE: If you really want to use "0,0 = top left", you can use a
PdfContentByte's Graphics2D interface, but I suspect that's a bit low-level for
you just yet.

Subject: [iText-questions] Absolute positioning
Hi All,
I am new to this list and new to using iText. I just want to do a simple thing
and set the absolute position of an Image to top left, so I call
.setAbsolutePosition(0,0)....surprisingly this puts my image on the bottom
left, and same with text. Looks like my pdf is behaving from bottom to top
sort of. Any idea why or how to fix this?
Ruskin
