C# - Adding multiple pages to PDF file using iTextSharp

Question

i'm having troubles with my code. I've been looking in StackOverflow here, but it seems the examples doesn't apply to my code.

I've been trying to generate a pdf file with multiple pages but I can't find a way to make it work.

I mean, with the code as is it now, it generates multiple pdf files with the correct data.

Could you help me?

 foreach (var item in ListCars.OrderBy(x => x.Destiny))
                {
                    Document Document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0f, 0f, 15f, 0f);
                    Image Img = null;
                    FileStream fsData = null;
                    Img = Image.GetInstance(Properties.Resources.CMODEL, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

                    Img.ScaleToFit(PageSize.A4);
                    Img.Alignment = Image.UNDERLYING | Image.ALIGN_CENTER;
                    string DataForTest = "";
                    string PDFName = "TEST - " + item.Vin + ".PDF";

                    Directory.CreateDirectory(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\");
                    fsData = new FileStream(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\" + PDFName, FileMode.Create);
                    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(Document, fsData);

                    Document.Open();

                    PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
                    ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);

                    Phrase DataForTestT = new Phrase(DataForTest, FontFactory.GetFont("IMPACT", 8));
                    ct.SetSimpleColumn(DataForTestT, 115, 824, 561, 307, 8, Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
                    ct.Go();

                    Process.Start(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\" + PDFName);
                    Document.Add(Img);
                    Document.AddCreationDate();
                    Document.Close();
                }

Could you elaborate a little more? I'm kinda new with all this stuff. — John Malkovich

Please post the error. What happens? Crashes? Doesn't add pages? — MOckjer

First of all change Document Document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0f, 0f, 15f, 0f); to Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0f, 0f, 15f, 0f);.

Let's figure it out step by step.

You can't set an instance name as it's class name. Like this:

 foreach (var item in ListCars.OrderBy(x => x.Destiny))
                {
                    Document document= new Document(PageSize.A4, 0f, 0f, 15f, 0f);
                    Image Img = null;
                    FileStream fsData = null;
                    Img = Image.GetInstance(Properties.Resources.CMODEL, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

                    Img.ScaleToFit(PageSize.A4);
                    Img.Alignment = Image.UNDERLYING | Image.ALIGN_CENTER;
                    string DataForTest = "";
                    string PDFName = "TEST - " + item.Vin + ".PDF";

                    Directory.CreateDirectory(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\");
                    fsData = new FileStream(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\" + PDFName, FileMode.Create);
                    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fsData);

                    document.Open();

                    PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
                    ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);

                    Phrase DataForTestT = new Phrase(DataForTest, FontFactory.GetFont("IMPACT", 8));
                    ct.SetSimpleColumn(DataForTestT, 115, 824, 561, 307, 8, Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
                    ct.Go();

                    Process.Start(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + @"\Rems\Pages\" + PDFName);
                    document.Add(Img);
                    document.AddCreationDate();
                    document.Close();
                }

It doesn't crash, just ignore the code completely. I'll do now what you told me there. Ah i know what you mean there, that was a typo when I was writing the code here.

Also don't forget to switch the other Documents in the necessary places. Paste what i posted.

Nono, that was just a typo when I was writing the code here. Don't mind it.
