first we create a class that in inherited by PdfPageEventHelper and i create a table in this class for footer content.
public partial class Footer : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document doc)
{
Paragraph footer= new Paragraph(“THANK YOU”, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL));
footer.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
PdfPTable footerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
footerTbl.TotalWidth = 300;
footerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(footer);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
footerTbl.AddCell(cell);
footerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 415, 30, writer.DirectContent);
}
}
after this
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 25, 25);
var output = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(“Demo.pdf”), FileMode.Create);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, output);
// Open the Document for writing
document.Open();
//using footer class
writer.PageEvent = new Footer();.
Paragraph welcomeParagraph = new Paragraph(“Hello, World!”);
document.Add(welcomeParagraph);
document.Close();

i want to display header and footer in all pages, but image is displaying in header position and the header is coming in the position of Pdf contents.
The requirement is header table then pdf contents(Paragraph, image,paragraph,image) then footer,
The same thing need to be repeated for all pages if the pdf content needs more than one page.
i used the following code
public override void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
string image2 = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(“.”) + “/Images/developers_img.jpg”;
string image3 = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(“.”) + “/Images/contact_logo.png”;
string imageFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(“.”) + “/Images/contact_logo.png”;
float cellHeight = document.TopMargin;
iTextSharp.text.Image jpg2 = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(image2);
iTextSharp.text.Image jpg3 = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(image3);
iTextSharp.text.Image jpg = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imageFilePath);
jpg.ScaleToFit(280f, 400f);
jpg.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_TOP;
PdfPTable Headertbl = new PdfPTable(3);
Headertbl.TotalWidth = document.PageSize.Width;
Headertbl.SpacingBefore = 2f;
Headertbl.SpacingBefore = 2f;
Headertbl.WidthPercentage = 90;
PdfPCell cell11 = new PdfPCell();
cell11.AddElement(jpg);
cell11.Border = 0;
cell11.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
PdfPCell cell12 = new PdfPCell();
cell12.Border = 0;
PdfPCell cell13 = new PdfPCell();
cell13.AddElement(new Paragraph(“”));
cell13.AddElement(new Paragraph(cellHeight + “Cell Height”));
cell13.AddElement(new Paragraph(” Last Updated”));
cell13.AddElement(new Paragraph(” ” + DateTime.Now.ToString()));
cell13.Border = 0;
Headertbl.AddCell(cell11);
Headertbl.AddCell(cell12);
Headertbl.AddCell(cell13);
document.Add(Headertbl);
base.OnStartPage(writer, document);
}
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document doc)

footerTbl.SpacingBefore = 2f;
footerTbl.TotalWidth = doc.PageSize.Width;
footerTbl.WidthPercentage = 90;
float cellHeight = doc.BottomMargin;
PdfPCell cell31 = new PdfPCell();
cell31.FixedHeight = cellHeight;
cell31.AddElement(new Paragraph(” “));
cell31.AddElement(new Paragraph(” “));
cell31.AddElement(new Paragraph(” “));

cell33.AddElement(new Paragraph(“481 Main Street , Mangalore,10801”));
cell33.AddElement(new Paragraph(“Phone: 914 – 355 – 5800”));
cell33.AddElement(new Paragraph(“www.computersolutions.com”));
footerTbl.AddCell(cell33);

Normally I do not read article on blogs,
however I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me
to try and do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me.
Thanks, very great post.
I have created 2 pages in PDF document. Header and footer showing only in the last page. i want display Header and footer in 2 pages. Please find my below code.
In Page_Load
iTextSharp.text.Document doc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.A4);
string path = Server.MapPath(“PDF”);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream(path + “\\doc20131.pdf”, FileMode.Create));
doc.Open();
doc.Add(new Paragraph(“Hello World!”));
doc.NewPage();
doc.Add(new Paragraph(“Hello World on a new page!”));
//using footer class
writer.PageEvent = new Footer();
writer.PageEvent = new HeaderF();
doc.Close();
string path1 = Server.MapPath(“PDF”) + “\\doc20131.pdf”;
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(path1);
if (buffer != null)
{
Response.ContentType = “application/pdf”;
Response.AddHeader(“content-length”, buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
}
Created HeaderF class. Please find below code for HeaderF:
public class HeaderF : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
Rectangle pageSize = document.PageSize;
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString(“MMMMM dd, yyyy”);
Paragraph header = new Paragraph(date, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, Color.WHITE));
header.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
PdfPTable headerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
headerTbl.TotalWidth = 600;
headerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(header);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
cell.BackgroundColor = Color.GRAY;
headerTbl.AddCell(cell);
headerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, pageSize.GetLeft(5), pageSize.GetTop(5), writer.DirectContent);
}
}
Created Footerclass. Please find below code for Footer:
public partial class Footer : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document doc)
{
Paragraph footer= new Paragraph(“THANK YOU”, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL));
footer.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
PdfPTable footerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
footerTbl.TotalWidth = 300;
footerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(footer);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
footerTbl.AddCell(cell);
footerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 415, 30, writer.DirectContent);
}
}
Hi,
I checked your code and make changes . please check.
and let me know
iTextSharp.text.Document doc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.A4);
string path = Server.MapPath(“PDF”);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream(path + “\\doc20131.pdf”, FileMode.Create));
doc.Open();
writer.PageEvent = new Footer();
doc.Add(new Paragraph(“Hello World!”));
doc.NewPage();
doc.Add(new Paragraph(“Hello World on a new page!”));
//using footer class
doc.Close();
string path1 = Server.MapPath(“PDF”) + “\\doc20131.pdf”;
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(path1);
if (buffer != null)
{
Response.ContentType = “application/pdf”;
Response.AddHeader(“content-length”, buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
}
Why you create two class for header and footer . please just create only single class and override onendpage and onstartpage event
public partial class Footer : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document doc)
{
Paragraph footer= new Paragraph(“THANK YOU”, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL));
footer.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
PdfPTable footerTbl = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable(1);
footerTbl.TotalWidth = 300;
footerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(footer);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
footerTbl.AddCell(cell);
footerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 415, 30, writer.DirectContent);
}
public override void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
Rectangle pageSize = document.PageSize;
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString(“MMMMM dd, yyyy”);
Paragraph header = new Paragraph(date, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES, 10, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.WHITE));
header.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
PdfPTable headerTbl = new PdfPTable(1);
headerTbl.TotalWidth = 600;
headerTbl.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(header);
cell.Border = 0;
cell.PaddingLeft = 10;
cell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.GRAY;
headerTbl.AddCell(cell);
headerTbl.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, pageSize.GetLeft(5), pageSize.GetTop(5), writer.DirectContent);
}
}
