If the PDF which you are trying is a template/predefined/fixed then you can remove that object by calling RemoveField. PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(../Template_Path.pdf”)); PdfStamper pdfStamperToPopulate = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(outputPath, FileMode.Create)); AcroFields pdfFormFields = pdfStamperToPopulate.AcroFields; pdfFormFields.RemoveField(“fieldNameToBeRemoved”);

Posting, in hopes someone else will find this response useful. It seems one can create a new BaseColor from WebColor as: BaseColor myColor = WebColors.GetRGBColor(“#A00000”); Which then can be added as a background as: cell.setBackgroundColor(myColor);
Process the output from a PdfWriter to a bytestream first with a dummy page count. Create a PdfReader from that bytestream, calling PdfReader.getNumberOfPages to get the actual page count. Recreate the PDF output, knowing what the page count will be, changing the footer accordingly. It’s messy, but there’s no easy way to know the page … Read more

I solved it using the following: foreach (var image in images) { iTextSharp.text.Image pic = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(image, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); if (pic.Height > pic.Width) { //Maximum height is 800 pixels. float percentage = 0.0f; percentage = 700 / pic.Height; pic.ScalePercent(percentage * 100); } else { //Maximum width is 600 pixels. float percentage = 0.0f; percentage = 540 / … Read more
This may not be the answer you are looking for (since you want to get your problems solved programmatically, not by an external tool). But you can use Ghostscript commandline to embed missing fonts in retrospect to PDFs which have not embedded them: gs \ -sFONTPATH=/path/to/fonts:/another/dir/with/more/fonts \ -o output-pdf-with-embedded-fonts.pdf \ -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \ input-pdf-where-some-fonts-are-not-embedded.pdf … Read more
Anyone looking for a solution in iText7, please use the solution from @BadLeo, which is to use document.add(new AreaBreak()); Below answer is applicable for versions prior to 7. Calling document.newPage() tells iText to place subsequent objects on a new page. The new page will only actually get created when you place the next object. Also, … Read more

I’ll provide a simple demo, I use maven build tool to gather the needed jar … Read more
I once wrote an algorithm that did exactly what you mentioned for a PDF editor product that is still the number one PDF editor used today. There are a couple of reasons for what you mention (I think) but the important one is focus. You are correct that PDF (usually) doesn’t contain any structure information. … Read more
