I tried the example, but I got an error message --
Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter' does not contain a definition for 'getInstance'

I'm wondering what is wrong.

Thanks,
Mike

Try:

PdfWriter.GetInstance(mydocument, New FileStream("filename.pdf", FileMode.Create));

If you're using C# it's case sensitive and the "g" needs to be uppercase.

I have a problem using itextsharp: I want to append a document to one existing, therefore i write:
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,new FileStream(filename,FileMode.Append,FileAccess.Write));
I also tried a StreamWriter:
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filename,true);
sw.AutoFlush = true;
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,sw.BaseStream);

Now the Problem is, that the Filesize of the pdf document is getting bigger and bigger, but I can always just see the last page added to the document

does anyone has any idea?? thx

This package cannot create PDF file from a string variable that contains Arabic letters

When creating PDF file of Arabic letters, there is no text in the output file.

Hello,I found out how to generate Arabic PDF files, here is an example:

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);

// step 2

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream("righttoleft.pdf",FileMode.Create));

// step 3

document.Open();

BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\times.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);

iTextSharp.text.

Font f2 = new iTextSharp.text.Font(bf, 24, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL, iTextSharp.text.Color.BLUE);

 

String atext = "اهلا";

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);

table.RunDirection=

PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL;

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(10, atext, f2));

table.AddCell(cell);

document.Add(table);

document.Close();

Hello,

Iam using itextsharp 4.0.2.0 and vc++.net 2003.
Could you please tell me how to create an array of image objects in Itextsharp
I tried this
iTextSharp::text::Image *in[]=new iTextSharp::text::Image[50];
for (int i=0;i<Length; i++)

in[i]= iTextSharp::

text::Image::GetInstance(imgfilename[i]);  //imgfilename[i]- path of image

in[i]->ScalePercent(95);
}

but it does not work.
Thanks in advance for your time.
