Set table using “setFixedPosition” on specified page in a reopened PDF document












0















This question is the follow up to another question on stackoverflow.



I open an existing PDF with this code snippet:



reader = New PdfReader(filenameSource)
writer = New PdfWriter(destFile)
pdf = New PdfDocument(reader, writer)
doc = New Document(pdf, pdf.GetDefaultPageSize, False)


I can add a paragraph now via doc.add(new Paragraph(...))
But when I try to place a table with table.setFixedPosition(...), the table doesn´t show on the page.



Has anybody any hint for me?



Thanks and best regards



Benjamin

          Based on your information I wrote this piece of code:





          PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("LoremIpsum.pdf");
          PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter("LoremIpsum-with-positioned-table.pdf");
          PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(reader, writer);
          Document doc = new Document(pdf, pdf.GetDefaultPageSize(), false);

          Table table = new Table(new float { 200 });
          table.AddCell(new Cell().Add(new Paragraph("test")).SetBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.CYAN));
          table.SetFixedPosition(1, 100, 100, 200);
          doc.Add(table);

          doc.Close();


          This didn't reproduce your issue




          when I try to place a table with table.setFixedPosition(...), the table doesn´t show on the page.




          because the result looks like this:



          screen shot



          The table clearly shows.

          • Thank you very much for your effort. I appreciate this very much! I will go back into my own code and look for the error - that must be in there anywhere. I will come back here to tell my results or any new questions....

          • I don´t know what my error was - but I deleted the whole code and wrote it again, and I was very accurate.... and now it works. Sorry for bothering you and thank you for your help!
