iTextSharp difference between implicit explicit NewPage -

i use onstartpage event handler write header, works great, need know whether issued newpage() or issued due page overflow. there elegant way tell? in advance help!

you've written page event implementation, , you've implemented 1 or more of methods. create instance of event this:

mypageevent event = new mypageevent(); writer.setpageevent(event); 

whenever onstartpage() called, want know if called within itext or code using newpage() method. itext uses same newpage() method internally, you'll have use trick.

add membervariable page event application. like:

protected boolean mynewpage = false; 

now add method event:

public void newpage(document document) {     mynewpage = true;     document.newpage();     mynewpage = false; } 

now whenever want trigger new page, don't use:

document.newpage(); 

use instead:

event.newpage(document); 

the onstartpage() method called internally every new page initialized, , @ moment, value of mynewpage true whenever newpage() triggered yourself; otherwise false. hope helps; didn't test it, i'm telling try.

(ps: i'm original developer of itext.)
