Re: Placing Image over an Image In a table in a PDF Using Itextsharp

1. Do you realize you are creating a separate instance of the mark.jpg for each page and a separate instance of grf.jpg for each cell? You should create those instances ONCE and reuse them on each page. It will make a smaller JPG file.

2. Apparently you wanted mark.jpg to show over top of the entire page, like a watermark. The recommended way to do that is with a PageEvent; in that page event, instead of adding to the Document, you would add the Image instance directly to the writer.DirectContentOver stream.  But you can also do that without the PageEvent if you'd rather.

                    Image png = Image.GetInstance(str);
                    png.SetAbsolutePosition(350f, 498f);
                    // document.Add(png);

                    writer.DirectContent.AddImage(png);

                    document.NewPage();
                    table = new PdfPTable(3);
