How can I add an image to all pages of my PDF? -

i have been trying add image pages using itextsharp. image needs on content of every page. have used following code below otherdoc.add()

document doc = new document(itextsharp.text.pagesize.a4, 10, 10, 30, 1); pdfwriter writer = pdfwriter.getinstance(doc, new filestream(server.mappath("~/pdf/" + fname), filemode.create)); doc.open(); image image = image.getinstance(server.mappath("~/images/draft.png")); image.setabsoluteposition(12, 300); writer.directcontent.addimage(image, false); doc.close(); 

the above code inserts image in last page. there way insert image in same way in pages?

it's normal image added once; after all: you're adding once. (or you've left away essential steps in code snippet: see edit made.)

in case: can solve problem using page event. there examples in java here: http://itextpdf.com/sandbox/events

or can consult chapter 5 of book. examples available in java in c#.

you should create document in 5 steps , add event in step 2:

// step 1 document document = new document(); // step 2 pdfwriter writer = pdfwriter.getinstance(document, stream); myevent event = new myevent(); writer.pageevent = event; // step 3 document.open(); // step 4 // add whatever content want add // step 5 document.close(); 

you have write myevent class yourself:

protected class myevent : pdfpageeventhelper {      image image;      public override void onopendocument(pdfwriter writer, document document) {         image = image.getinstance(server.mappath("~/images/draft.png"));         image.setabsoluteposition(12, 300);     }      public override void onendpage(pdfwriter writer, document document) {         writer.directcontent.addimage(image);     } } 

the onendpage() in class myevent triggered every time pdfwriter has finished page. hence image added on every page.

caveat: important create image object outside onendpage() method, otherwise image bytes risk being added many times there pages in pdf (leading bloated pdf).
