I'm using iTextSharp to generate PDF's in my application. Now a problem has arisen: I am printing listings and when there is more than one page I would like to print a footer with page numbers (eg "Page 1 of 4"). I found some examples but they seem more complex than necessary (like example ).
EDIT: I started following this example 2 , however I am not able to print the numbering . Code:
public ActionResult downloadListaISCC(DateTime? DataFimFiltro)
{
//Código para gerar a lista a apresentar
//Definir tipo de documento
Document doc1 = new Document();
doc1.SetPageSize(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4);
doc1.SetMargins(0f, 0f, 0f, 0f);
doc1.NewPage();
MemoryStream pdfStream = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc1, pdfStream);
//gerar a tabela e adicionar ao doc1
pdfWriter.CloseStream = true;
doc1.Close();
//E fui seguindo o exemplo do segundo link
string file = "D:/gerarPDFOleotorres/"+ nomeDoc +"";
// add page numbers
Document copyDoc = new Document();
PdfCopy copyPdf = new PdfCopy(copyDoc, new FileStream(file, FileMode.Create));
copyPdf.SetPageSize(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
copyDoc.Open();
// read the initial pdf document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfStream.ToArray());
int totalPages = reader.NumberOfPages;
PdfImportedPage copiedPage = null;
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfCopy.PageStamp stamper = null;
for (int i = 0; i < totalPages; i++)
{
// get the page and create a stamper for that page
copiedPage = copyPdf.GetImportedPage(reader, (i + 1));
stamper = copyPdf.CreatePageStamp(copiedPage);
// add a page number to the page
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(stamper.GetUnderContent(), Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new Phrase((i + 1) + "/" + totalPages, fontetexto), 820f, 15, 0);
stamper.AlterContents();
// add the altered page to the new document
copyPdf.AddPage(copiedPage);
}
copyDoc.Close();
reader.Close();
// flush and clear the document from memory
pdfStream.Flush();
pdfStream.Close();
}
It correctly detects the number of pages but is not printing
