write text to pdf with itextsharp in vb.net

I have a sub in vb.net like: Public Shared f_cb As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + Public Shared f_cn As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

Public Shared Sub GenPDF() Try Using fs As System.IO.FileStream = New FileStream(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + Dim document As New Document(PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 30, 1) Dim writer As Pdf riter = Pdf riter.Get!nstance(document, fs) document.AddTitle( test ) document."#en() Dim cb As PdfContentByte = writer.DirectContent Dim !n" As i#e$t%&'r!.te$t.!mage = i#e$t%&'r!.te$t.!mage.Get!nstance(Current !n".ScaleAbsolute((5, 52) !n".SetAbsolutePosition(40, ((0) cb.Add!mage(!n") cb.BeginTe$t() Dim )eft_m'r"in As !nteger = 40 Dim to!_m'r"in As !nteger = (50 write(cb, %treets %.*.+. , )eft_m'r"in, to!_m'r"in, f_cb, 10) write(cb, A,. -00, ..A./.A. (1001), 0eru , )eft_m'r"in, to!_m'r"in 1 12 write(cb, #e)2 43001214( 1 3'$2 430012144 , )eft_m'r"in, to!_m'r"in 1 write(cb, ..5.I.#. 2013060222(10 , )eft_m'r"in, to!_m'r"in 1 36, f_cn, write(cb, I.7.A. , )eft_m'r"in, to!_m'r"in 1 44, f_cn, 10) cb.%ndTe$t() document.Close() writer.Close() fs.Close() %nd Using Catch e$ As %$ce#tion Throw e$ %nd Try %nd Sub So it works ok, now I would like to write to an already created pdf, but I can not find analog for vb.net I was trying pdfStamper but had no succes, How does the code to append data to pdf using itextsharp in vb.net look like?

answered Sep 6 '13 at 2:35 Karl Anderson 20.7k 6 14 33 @cMinor While doing it like this certainly is a solution, it is not necessarily the best one. Adding templates generated by 0df?riter.>etIm!orted0'"e makes you a) lose all page annotations (e.g. form elements) and b) wraps the whole page in a xobject. Whether either is a show stopper, depends on the requirements and use case. Generally a better approach is to use a 0df%t'm!er which can also add page content by means of its O,er.ontent and 5nder.ontent . mkl Sep 8 '13 at 6:26
