hey james, i had a similar requirement, except that in place of a logo at the top, the logo was in a left-hand sidebar, and and in place of a copyright, there was a modification date and page number. i also ran into the problem of a PdfPTable overflowing into the footer.
i used a PageEvent implementation to decorate each page in the onEndPage() method as usual. however i simply adjusted the document margins by excluding the area to the left and the bottom, so that the document's body included only the 'content' area. in the constructor of my PageEvent implementation, i provided the 'actual' margins so it knew where to write stuff. jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Lopes, James [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 7:40 AM > To: Post all your questions about iText here > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] My PdfPTable is over running my footer > > Thanks for the help.
