Grab all of the pages of a PDF using textsharp

I am getting a pfd using the older version of itextsharp with this code
string Oldfile = #"C:/test.pdf"; // Gets the Template
(new FileInfo("C:/C:/test.pdf")).Directory.Create(); // Go create this folder if it's not there
string NewFile = "C:/test.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(Oldfile);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle Size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
Document document = new Document(Size);
// MemoryStream memory_stream = new MemoryStream();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(NewFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
PdfWriter weiter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fs);
document.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = weiter.DirectContent;
PdfImportedPage page = weiter.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
//PdfImportedPage page2 = weiter.GetImportedPage(reader, 2);
cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);
The problem I am having is when it gets that file it has 2 pages in that pdf but it only gets the 1st page and adds lines and saves the only 1st page of the pdf I want to be able to grab both of them or is there a way to merge them after wards

I bet you need to iterate all pages.

Write to an existing pdf file and save it as a new file using itextsharp

I have a pdf file with some data in it. Now, I want to use this existing pdf file and insert a table into it. Then I want to save the file with a different file name so that the existing pdf file remains the same as it was before.
Note: the existing pdf file was not created using iTextSharp. it was randomly downloaded. I have to use the existing pdf file like a template.
public void Main(List<string> jobpath)
{
string oldpath = #"C:\Files\sample_new.pdf";
string newpath = #"C:\Files\sample_new_1.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(oldpath);
Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
Document doc = new Document(size);
FileStream fs = new FileStream(newpath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
doc.Open();
foreach (var list in jobpath)
{
cb.BeginText();
doc.NewPage();
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
table.TotalWidth = 400f;
float[] widths = new float[] { 2f };
table.SetWidths(widths);
table.SpacingBefore = 40f;
table.SpacingAfter = 30f;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Colspan = 3;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1;
table.AddCell(list);
doc.Add(table);
PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
}
doc.Close();
}
With the above code I am able to add the table, but the contents of the old file is not getting copied in the new file.

With the following code I was able to add the content of an existing pdf into the new one. In this example only the first page was added.
string oldpath = #"C:\Files\sample_new.pdf";
string newpath = #"C:\Files\sample_new_1.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(oldpath);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
Document doc = new Document(size);
FileStream fs = new FileStream(newpath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
doc.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);
foreach (var list in jobpath)
{
doc.NewPage();
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
table.TotalWidth = 400f;
float[] widths = new float[] { 2f };
table.SetWidths(widths);
table.SpacingBefore = 40f;
table.SpacingAfter = 30f;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Colspan = 3;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1;
table.AddCell(list);
doc.Add(table);
}
doc.Close();

Crop Pdf from each edge using itextshap

I am trying to crop pdf 5 mm from every edge i.e top,bottom,right and left. I tried with below code
public void TrimPdf(string sourceFilePath, string outputFilePath)
{
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(sourceFilePath);
float widthTo_Trim = iTextSharp.text.Utilities.MillimetersToPoints(5);
using (FileStream output = new FileStream(outputFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
using (PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, output))
{
for (int page = 1; page <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++)
{
Rectangle cropBox = pdfReader.GetCropBox(page);
cropBox.Left += widthTo_Trim;
cropBox.Right += widthTo_Trim;
cropBox.Top += widthTo_Trim;
cropBox.Bottom += widthTo_Trim;
pdfReader.GetPageN(page).Put(PdfName.CROPBOX, new PdfRectangle(cropBox));
}
}
}
By using this code i am Able to Crop only Left and Bottom part. unable to crop top and right side
How can i get desire result ?

This solved my problem by using Below code
public void TrimLeftandRightFoall(string sourceFilePath, string outputFilePath, float cropwidth)
{
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(sourceFilePath);
float width = (float)GetPDFwidth(sourceFilePath);
float height = (float)GetPDFHeight(sourceFilePath);
float widthTo_Trim = iTextSharp.text.Utilities.MillimetersToPoints(cropwidth);
PdfRectangle rectLeftside = new PdfRectangle(widthTo_Trim, widthTo_Trim, width-widthTo_Trim , height-widthTo_Trim);
using (var output = new FileStream(outputFilePath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write))
{
// Create a new document
Document doc = new Document();
// Make a copy of the document
PdfSmartCopy smartCopy = new PdfSmartCopy(doc, output);
// Open the newly created document
doc.Open();
// Loop through all pages of the source document
for (int i = 1; i <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
// Get a page
var page = pdfReader.GetPageN(i);
page.Put(PdfName.MEDIABOX, rectLeftside);
var copiedPage = smartCopy.GetImportedPage(pdfReader, i);
smartCopy.AddPage(copiedPage);
}
doc.Close();
}
}

how to add pagenumbers to every pdf page using itextsharp

here is What i want i want to add page numbers to every pdf page that i generated on the fly.
i used on end page method but it did not worked out even when i added the doc bottom margin.
I decided to add the page numbers after the pdf is generated from the file path.
here is my code for generating pdf:
Document doc = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER, 10, 10, 42, 35);
PdfWriter wri = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("t5.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.Open();//Open Document to write
iTextSharp.text.Font font8 = FontFactory.GetFont("ARIAL", 7);
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph("Some content");
doc.Add(paragraph);
doc.Add(paragraph);// add paragraph to the document
doc.Close();
FileStream stream = File.OpenRead("t5.pdf");
byte[] fileBytes = new byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
stream.Close();
AddPageNumbers(fileBytes);
using (Stream file = File.OpenWrite("t5.pdf"))
{
file.Write(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
}
}
and her is my add pagenumbers method:
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdf);
int n = reader.NumberOfPages;
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle psize = reader.GetPageSize(1);
Document document = new Document(psize, 50, 50, 50, 50);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms);
document.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
int p = 0;
for (int page = 1; page <= reader.NumberOfPages; page++)
{
document.NewPage();
p++;
PdfImportedPage importedPage = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, page);
cb.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, 0);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, +p + "/" + n, 100, 450, 0);
cb.EndText();
}
document.Close();
return ms.ToArray();
how ever it does not add the page numbers to the pdf document so what is the alternatives here? what can i do.

When posting a question here, please only post the smallest amount of code possible. Your "create a sample PDF with multiple pages" is 116 lines long. Inside of it you've got complicated PdfPTable and DataTable logic that is 100% unrelated to the problem. Instead, the following 13 lines is enough to make a multiple page PDF:
//Create a sample multiple page PDF and place it on the desktop
var outputFile = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "t5.pdf");
using (var fs = new FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) {
using (var doc = new Document()) {
using (var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs)) {
doc.Open();
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
doc.Add(new Paragraph(String.Format("This is paragraph #{0}", i)));
}
doc.Close();
}
}
}
Second, get rid of try/catch. Those are great for production (sometimes) but at the development level that's why we have IDEs and compilers, they'll tell us specifically what's wrong.
Now on to the bigger problem, you need to keep these two processes separate from each other. Every single brace and object from part part #1 must be closed, done and accounted for. Part #2 then needs to be fed a completely valid PDF but neither of the two parts should be "aware" of each other or depend on each other.
Since you just borrowed some code that wasn't intended for what you're trying to do I'm going to also ignore that and use some code that I know specifically will work. Also, since you're open to using a MemoryStream in the first place I'm just going to avoid writing to disk until I need to. Below is a full working sample that creates a multiple page and then adds page numbers in a second pass.
//Will hold our PDF as a byte array
Byte[] bytes;
//Create a sample multiple page PDF, nothing special here
using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) {
using (var doc = new Document()) {
using (var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms)) {
doc.Open();
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
doc.Add(new Paragraph(String.Format("This is paragraph #{0}", i)));
}
doc.Close();
}
}
//Store our bytes before
bytes = ms.ToArray();
}
//Read our sample PDF and apply page numbers
using (var reader = new PdfReader(bytes)) {
using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) {
using (var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, ms)) {
int PageCount = reader.NumberOfPages;
for (int i = 1; i <= PageCount; i++) {
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(stamper.GetOverContent(i), Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new Phrase(String.Format("Page {0} of {1}", i, PageCount)), 100, 10 , 0);
}
}
bytes = ms.ToArray();
}
}
var outputFile = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "t5.pdf");
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(outputFile, bytes);

Removing Watermark from a PDF

I had been used the first code create a water mark and removed and it work perfect
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

}
doc.Close();
}
}
}
//SECTION 2
//Create our watermark on a separate layer. The only different here is that we are adding the watermark to a PdfLayer which is an OCG or Optional Content Group

but when I used digital sign some time when a I tried to remove the watermark some page lost the information , them I'm would like to used the PdfLayerRemover and I change to C# but when I made this

always get null value and the pdf has the watermark??? please if can help me and the pdf has ocpproperties because when I use this works but it remove additional information . but the way Itextshap version 5.5.2.0
if (content.IndexOf("/OC") >= 0 && content.IndexOf(watermarkText) >= 0) {
//Remove it by giving it zero length and zero data
stream.Put(PdfName.LENGTH, new PdfNumber(0));
