Did you see http://manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter2.pdf and read about all possible encoding problems, for instance as described on p26? Also you say "I did as you mentioned" without telling what you tried. I can't smell which encoding you used? Are you using the font as a simple font? Or are you using IDENTITY_H as encoding because you want a composite font (using Unicode)?

[iText-questions] Adding an internal anchor reference using ShowTextAligned causes a null reference exception
Hi, can anyone help with this? I am adding an anchor to a canvas. The
canvas is the 'over content' for a single page in a PDFStamper object. The
anchor is an internal reference to a name on another page.
When I use ColumnText.ShowTextAligned to add the anchor I am getting a
'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Is it because
the canvas does not contain the target reference? If so, what can I do?
Here is a working example of the problem:
using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
var ms = new MemoryStream();
var document = new iTextSharp.text.Document();
// Create a simple two page PDF document:
var pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms);
pdfWriter.InitialLeading = 40F;
document.Open();
document.Add(new Phrase("Simple Phrase on Page 1"));
document.NewPage();
document.Add(new Phrase("Simple Phrase on Page 2"));
document.Close();
// Read the 2 page document, create a stamper and add two anchors
// at absolute positions on page 1.
var pdfReader = new PdfReader(ms.ToArray());
var ms2 = new MemoryStream();
var pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, ms2);
var canvas = pdfStamper.GetOverContent(1);
// add an external anchor
var anchor1 = new Anchor("External Anchor");
anchor1.Reference = "www.stackoverflow.com";
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, anchor1, 100,
200, 0);
// add an internal anchor
var anchor2 = new Anchor("Internal Anchor");
anchor2.Reference = "#abc";
// this next line causes a null reference exception - why?
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, anchor2, 100,
100, 0);
pdfStamper.Close();
Thanks, Paul.

[iText-questions] Partial Printing of Direct Content
Hi, --- In C# --- I have a "PdfWriter writer". I use "DirectContent dc = writer.DirectContent;" I have a reader: "PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfByteArray);" I take a page from the reader: "PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);" I add it to the "writer" using the direct content: "cb.AddTemplate(page, 1.0F, 0, 0, 1.0F, 0, 0);" Then I write some text over the imported page: dc.BeginText(); dc.SetLineWidth(2.5F); dc.SetColorFill(BaseColor.RED); dc.SetColorStroke(BaseColor.WHITE); dc.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED), 16); dc.SetTextRenderingMode(PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL_STROKE); dc.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "123", 50, 50, 0); dc.SetTextRenderingMode(PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL); dc.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "123", 50, 50, 0); dc.EndText(); This all works great and prints the number in red with a white shadow at the bottom of the page. - BUT - One of my clients has reported that the overwritten numbers do not always print on their printer. Sometimes some of the overwritten numbers are missing, even though they are visible in a PDF reader on the screen. I suspect this is a memory resources issue on the printer, which is making a decision to print at least one "layer" if it cannot print them all. But I'm guessing. Any thoughts anyone? Can I force all the direct content to "amalgamate" somehow into one item that either prints completely or doesn't print at all?

[iText-questions] Getting the document size before closing the document when using DirectContent.AddTemplate (C#)
Hi, I am adding between 1000 and 5000 pages to a PdfWriter. Each page is added by using writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(writer.GetImportedPage(reader, pageNumber), a, b, c, d, e, f) I am using AddTemplate because I may need to rotate a page by 180 depending on a test. I would like to know when the size of the document that will be written has exceeded a threshold (e.g. 2 Mb). Then I can close the document and start a new one. I have tried writer.CurrentDocumentSize and writer.DirectContent.InternalBuffer.Size. Both report very small numbers. How can I find the size of the document written so far without doing a document.Close() ? -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
