How to add a Header/Footer on a PDF File with DroidText?

I want to add a Header or a Footer on the first page of my PDF. I have tried to set it just after construct the Document. But, it was inneficient.

I also have thought of passing the first page and delete it at the end. But, I haven't managed it yet... :(

Has someone a solution ?

Thanks.

  • Following code may useful to you:

    Set Header:

    //open the document
doc.open();

//set header
Phrase headerText = new Phrase("This is an example of a Header");
HeaderFooter pdfHeader = new HeaderFooter(headerText, false);
doc.setHeader(pdfHeader);

    Set Footer:

    //set footer
Phrase footerText = new Phrase("This is an example of a footer");
HeaderFooter pdfFooter = new HeaderFooter(footerText, false);
doc.setFooter(pdfFooter);

//close doc
doc.close();
