You need to listen for an event that is fired after a given element is
positioned. The old stand-by:
element.setGenericTag('foo");
Then you extend PdfPageEventHelper
<http://api.itextpdf.com/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfPageEventHelper.html>
and override onGenericTag
<http://api.itextpdf.com/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfPageEventHelper.html#o
nGenericTag(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter,%20com.itextpdf.text.Documen
t,%20com.itextpdf.text.Rectangle,%20java.lang.String)> . The "rect"
param will be the absolute position of the tagged element. There are a
number of other events in PdfPageEvent you might use instead, but this
is the fairly common.

Subject: [iText-questions] Inserting an embedded SWF into a
Document
Hi,
I'm looking for the best way to put an embedded SWF into a
document (the Annotation class only seems to support referenced PDFs).
I can use a PdfAnnotation to embed a SWF, but then I have to
insert it directly with the PdfWriter. I'm looking to avoid absolute
positioning though. Another option would be inserting something into the
document which I can then retrieve the position of so that the
PdfAnnotation can be inserted on top.
I was looking at inserting an image, but the getAbsolute
positions are only available if they have been set. (Can't just insert
the image as normal and retrieve the position.)
I've seen mentioned on the mailing list that the position of an
Annotation can be retrieved. Can anyone point me at a relevant example?
I've also seen mention of the onGenericTag, which has an example
in Chapter 5. I'm no sure if this is applicable to what I'm trying to
do, and if it is, whether it is the best way to approach the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
