Hello,

I am creating a pdf file using itextsharp. I want to add header and footer for each page in the pdf document. Can anyone tell me how can I do this?

I am using itext 5.0.4.1. In this, I am unable to find the option to use HeadeFooter class, which is available in the earlier versions.

Thanks in advance.

hiwhenever I want to add a table in PDF footer, the PDF shows it in above of the page instead of footer but for a plaintext, it works well.
I use table because the text is in Persian language.
Can you help me to add table in footer of PDF?

Hiii

Follow below code

C#

PdfTemplate footerTmpl = writer.getDirectContent().createTemplate( 0, 0, pageWidth, footerHeight );

footerTmpl.setFontAndSize( someFont, someSize );
footerTmpl.setTextMatrix( x, y );
footer.showText("blah");

Here, pdftemplate is the itextcharp class.with this you can give footer to each page of your pdf file.

try this hope it will work for you....!!
