Method Details

createTemplate

public static PdfTemplate createTemplate(PdfWriter writer,
 float width,
 float height)

Creates a new template.

Creates a new template that is nothing more than a form XObject. This template can be included in this template or in another template. Templates are only written to the output when the document is closed permitting things like showing text in the first page that is only defined in the last page.

width - the bounding box width

height - the bounding box height

Returns:

the created template

setWidth

public void setWidth(float width)

Sets the bounding width of this template.

Parameters:

width - the bounding width

setHeight

public void setHeight(float height)

Sets the bounding height of this template.

Parameters:

height - the bounding height

getWidth

public float getWidth()

Gets the bounding width of this template.

Returns:

width the bounding width

getHeight

public float getHeight()

Gets the bounding height of this template.
