Paulo -
Ok, I got a little farther on this issue. I have included a small
program here the is ugly but demonstrates the problem. Notice that if
you run it, page 3 has only a header on it. Not actually text. I have
narrowed this issue down to the fact that I MUST use a PdfPTable in my
header creation. Probably not a normal thing to do, but it makes for
simple headers with a lot of data.
static void tabletest()
{
// list of patients reviewed - no reccomendation
Console.WriteLine("Test Report");
Phrase newline = new Phrase("\n");
// Document Creation call - Margins are Left, Right, Top, Bottom
- pagesizes are standards
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER, 54, 54, 36,
36);
// Initiate the PDF Writer - Creates File Name to output
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new
FileStream("TestReport.pdf", FileMode.Create));
// Sets PDF Version to Acrobat 8 (use n+1 to determine Acrobat
version required) Set to Version 8 for simplicity
writer.SetPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_7);
// Open the main document
//Header Population
PdfPTable headtable = new PdfPTable(3);
for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++)
{
headtable.AddCell("Some Head Text");
}
Paragraph chead = new Paragraph();
chead.Add(headtable);
HeaderFooter centerhead = new HeaderFooter(chead, false);
centerhead.Border = Rectangle.BOTTOM_BORDER;
//Defining a document.Footer=centerhead; does really strange
things.. the whole table is at the top of the page
document.Header=centerhead;
// Stuff to till the Body
document.Open();
Phrase title = new Phrase("Da Report");
document.Add(newline);
document.Add(title);
Paragraph NoCommentIntro = new Paragraph("A lot of text of some
kind");
document.Add(NoCommentIntro);
document.Add(newline);
float[] widths2 = { 227, 110, 110 };
PdfPTable PatList = new PdfPTable(widths2);
PatList.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
PatList.DefaultCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
PatList.DefaultCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
//Define repeating headerow
PatList.HeaderRows = 1;
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("Patient"));
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("Last Review"));
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("Status"));
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
{
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("Bob Smith"));
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("A 302"));
PatList.AddCell(new Phrase("Hospitalized"));
}
document.Add(PatList);
PdfPTable sigs = new PdfPTable(2);
sigs.WidthPercentage = 90;
sigs.ExtendLastRow = true;
PdfPCell RxSig = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Signature2"));
RxSig.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
PdfPCell PSig = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Signature2"));
PSig.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
sigs.AddCell(RxSig);
sigs.AddCell(PSig);
document.Add(sigs);
document.Close();
}
FYI: Visual Studio 2008 - C#
iTextSharp: File Version is 4.1.2.0
This issue ONLY seems to occur when I use a table in my header layout.
To make this work I have wrapped my table in a paragraph before adding
it to the header. This inclusion or exclusion of the footer does not
seem to make a difference unless the footer is a table and then it just
gets weird! Is this just a weird glitch in the functions or have I
stumbled onto an undocumented feature?
