adding through direct content on multiple pages

[Andrzej Semeniuk]

Hi,
I browsed through the FAQ and archives and didn't find relevant posts about my
problem.  I'm new to iText and have the following problem: I'm trying to add
content to a PDF document by using PdfContentByte on multiple pages, but am only
able to add content to the first page -- only the first page is painted on,
subsequent pages are not painted on.  My code is as follows:

         Document document = new Document();
         PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
                                                  new java.io.FileOutputStream(
                                                        filename));
         document.open();
         for (int page = 0; page < 3; page++) {
               PdfContentByte content = writer.getDirectContent();
               Graphics2D G = null;
               G = content.createGraphics(...);
               // paint with G, ex.  G.draw(new Line2D.Double(...));
               ...
               G.dispose();
               document.newPage();
               writer.newPage();
         }
         
         document.close();
         writer.close();


Thanks

--Andrzej

It's obvious that you haven't been looking at:

I honestly don't understand how you came up with that code.
Please read the documentation and try some examples before
writing code that hurts the eyes. Look at the PdfStamper
examples of chapter 2 of the book:

Please don't reply to my posts again.  If I wanted a smart remark
I wouldn't write "I'm new to iText".  Did you miss that?  It's
at the top of my post.

I don't think anyone missed that, but it's not always accepted as
an excuse: see http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html

If people provide plenty of examples on their site (for instance on
the 1T3XT BVBA site: http://1t3xt.info/examples/itext-in-action.php ),
it's not very respectful to ask questions that aren't 'smart' in the
way Eric Raymond describes in his How-to.

Everybody is allowed to make himself ridiculous, but if it's done
in public, please understand that some people (I'd most people)
don't like the 'noise'. If you want a respectful answer, show some
respect by not asking questions that have been answered many times
before. By not reading the documentation first, you are 'stealing'
precious development time from the project.

best regards,
Bruno
