I am trying to add a new page to a pdf document, however for some reason this is not happening. Maybe my other question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11428878/itextsharp-splitlate-not-working has something to do with this since the table in this question does not break and no new pages are created.
This is the code I have for the adding of new pages:
Document doc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4.Rotate(),20,20,20,40);
string rep1Name; // variable to hold the file name of the first part of the report
rep1Name = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".pdf";
FileStream output = new FileStream(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ReportGeneratedFiles/reports/" + rep1Name), FileMode.Create);
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, output);
doc.Open();
doc.NewPage();
doc.NewPage();
doc.Close();
Just calling a newPage()
will not add any blank page.
You need to let the writer know that the page is empty.
Example: Refer to NewPage Example using Java. Hope the same method works for C# too.
public class PdfNewPageExample
{
// throws DocumentException, FileNotFoundException
public static void main( String ... a ) throws Exception
{
String fileHome = System.getProperty( "user.home" ) + "/Desktop/";
String pdfFileName = "Pdf-NewPage-Example.pdf";
// step 1
Document document = new Document();
// step 2
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( fileHome + pdfFileName );
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance( document, FileOutputStream );
// step 3
document.open();
// step 4
document.add( new Paragraph( "This page will NOT be followed by a blank page!" ) );
document.newPage();
// we don't add anything to this page: newPage() will be ignored
document.newPage();
document.add( new Paragraph( "This page will be followed by a blank page!" ) );
document.newPage();
writer.setPageEmpty( false );
document.newPage();
document.add( new Paragraph( "The previous page was a blank page!" ) );
// step 5
document.close();
System.out.println( "Done ..." );
} // psvm( .. )
} // class PdfNewPageExample
