I'm trying to find something like \vfill from Latex in iTextSharp (a way to insert spaces and place text at the bottom of the page). It's only for one page, not a footer.
I searched online and in the book iText in Action, but didn't find any answers.
OK, after a long time and trying many things, I have found a solution.
Some things I tried that "worked", but not good enough:
First I calculated the height of my paragraph (by writing it in a new table in a new document in the RAM), then I would add newlines until there was just enough room for my text. Result: NOT a good way, the text would by off by a few points (the y position in the document, because of the newlines).
Then I tried to do this with ColumnText: too many calculations (since my document is dynamic) and I didn't like positioning it absolute.
So my solution is to use a PdfPTable:
var t = new PdfPTable(1);
t.ExtendLastRow = true;
t.WidthPercentage = 100;
var c = new PdfPCell();
c.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_BOTTOM;
c.DisableBorderSide(Rectangle.BOX);
var p = new Paragraph("This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.");
p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
c.AddElement(p);
t.AddCell(c);
doc.Add(t);
Pretty simple, but I lost a lot of time on this. I hope this helps others too.
