iTextSharp everything works but getting strange error when opening pdf document
- by Dmitris
Hello everybody,
I am using iTextSharp to create my PDF document on the fly.
Everything works fine, and i get no errors in the code; however, when i open created PDF it gives me error saying that document will be not displayed properly because it contain errors.
Here is the code bellow that gives me a problem:
public class pdfevents : PdfPageEventHelper
{
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
base.OnEndPage(writer, document);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetTextMatrix(20, document.GetBottom(-30));
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10);
//thats is the piece of code that makes problems
//if i remove it then document displays without error
cb.MoveTo(15F, document.GetBottom(-15));
cb.SetLineWidth(0.5F);
cb.LineTo(document.GetRight(0), document.GetBottom(-15));
cb.Stroke();
cb.ShowText(DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString());
int n = writer.PageNumber;
cb.SetTextMatrix(document.GetRight(20), document.GetBottom(-30));
cb.ShowText(" - " + n + " - ");
cb.EndText();
}
}
If i remove following lines :
//thats is the piece of code that makes problems
//if i remove it then document displays without error
cb.MoveTo(15F, document.GetBottom(-15));
cb.SetLineWidth(0.5F);
cb.LineTo(document.GetRight(0), document.GetBottom(-15));
Then i am getting no error opening generated PDF, otherwise i can open PDF and see the document and it's content including the line. However, then i get error that document been generated with error.
Can somebody tell me what is wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
cb.Stroke();
