itextsharp pdf generation, insert image header.

[guoqi zheng]

dear sir,

I am using itextShap for pdf generation.
I know I can insert image into it, I can add header to it as well. However,
I can not add an image as a header.

Does any one has experience with it and know how to insert an image header
to the pdf file?

This image is our company logo which we would like it to appear on every
page on that pdf file.

regards,

Adding Image To Header of PDF using Itestsharp

We cant add image directly to the Pdf Header and Footer.. There is an alternate way to add the Image File... Try the following code and chill..

Document docPDF = new Document(PageSize.A4, 5, 5, 20, 50);

Step 1: Add the Image file
strImgPath is refer the directory Info..

Image imgLogo = Image.GetInstance(strImgPath.ToString()+"\\CompWare.Jpg");
imgLogo.Alignment = Image.ALIGN_CENTER;
imgLogo.ScalePercent(50f);

Step 2:

Add this ImgLogo to the PdfPTable by use of this
PdfPCell pdfcellImage = new PdfPCell(imgLogo, true);
pdfcellImage.FixedHeight = 40f;
pdfcellImage.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
pdfcellImage.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
pdfcellImage.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
pdfcellImage.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
pdftblImage.AddCell(pdfcellImage);

Step 3:

Create Chunck to add Text for address or others
fntBoldComHd is a Base Font Library Object

Chunk chnCompany = new Chunk("Your CompanyName\nAddress", fntBoldComHd);

Step 4:

Create Phrase For add the Chunks and PdfPTables

Phrase phHeader = new Phrase();

phHeader.Add(pdftblImage);
phHeader.Add(chnCompany);

Step 5:

Assign the Phrase to PDF Header
HeaderFooter header = new HeaderFooter(phHeader, false);
header.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
header.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
docPDF.Header = header;

Santhosh, I would like to say your code is useful, but there is a undeclared variable.

pdftblImage, at the bottom of step 2. How and where is it instantiated?
