Since I can control how the original "templates" are sized, it does make sense to create them at the correct size from the start, as you suggest here. > PdfImportedPage inherits from PdfTemplate, so drawing multiple pages > on > a single page isn't particularly hard, it's just a matter of getting > them to fit, THUSLY: > > PdfTemplate topOfPage = writer.getImportedPage( reader, 1 ); > PdfTemplate bottomOfPage = writer.getImportedPage( reader, 2 ); > > PdfContentByte content = writer.getDirectContent(); > > // in PDF, "0, 0" is the lower left corner. > content.addTemplate( bottomOfPage ); > content.addTemplate( topOfPage, 0, bottomOfPage.getHeight() ); > // stupid case correcting email client... Grumble grumble. SEE!? Thanks Mark, I'll give that a go! A small preemptive follow-up: let's say the content in my PDF templates are not 1/2 of a 8.5"x11" page (as my original example), but actually 1/8 of a 8.5"x11" page, and I want to arrange the output as 8 identically-sized parts (arranged in 2 rows and 4 columns) on a single- page PDF outputted from iText. Does the same idea (expressed in your sample code above) still apply? -- Thomas Hauk Shaggy Frog Software www.shaggyfrog.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
