How to Add Footer on Each Page of a PDF document without iText

Hi Guys ,

             when we use Org.apache.pdfbox to create pdf documents then manuplation  and handling pdf documents is too tricky like add style , header and footer on each page.

i am showing you how add footer on each page of pdf document in a simple way.

import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream.AppendMode;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDRectangle;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.BaseTable;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.Cell;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.HorizontalAlignment;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.Row;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.line.LineStyle;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.utils.ImageUtils;
import be.quodlibet.boxable.utils.PDStreamUtils;

 public void createPdfDocuments () {
        PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
        PDPage page = new PDPage(new PDRectangle(PDRectangle.A3.getHeight(), PDRectangle.A3.getWidth()));
        document.addPage(page);
        float yStartNewPage = page.getMediaBox().getHeight() - (4 * margin);
        float tableWidth = page.getMediaBox().getWidth() + (18 * margin);
        boolean drawContent = true;
        float yStart = yStartNewPage;
        float bottomMargin = 70;
        float pageTopMargin = 70;
        String migrantHeading = "Migrant";
        BaseTable table = new BaseTable(yStart, yStartNewPage, pageTopMargin, bottomMargin, tableWidth, margin * 3,
                document, page, true, drawContent);

        LineStyle lineStyle = new LineStyle(Color.WHITE, 1);
               // add cell in table.
        Row<PDPage> headerRow = table.createRow(30f);
        Cell<PDPage> cell = headerRow.createCell(35, "//Contents in header row");
        cell.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD);
        cell.setFontSize(14);
        cell.setLeftPadding(40);
        cell.setTextColor(new Color(28, 69, 135));
        cell.setBorderStyle(lineStyle);
        
                // add other content to pdf......

                // draw table 
        table.draw();
        // call a method to add footer or header 
                addFooter(document);
        addHeader(document, listofcellDetails, listOfCellSize, false, 0);

        File file = new File(filename);
        Files.createParentDirs(file);
        document.save(file);
        document.close();
    }

// method to add footer

 public void addFooter(PDDocument document) throws IOException {

// get all number of pages.

         int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();

        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPages; i++) {
            PDPage fpage = document.getPage(i);

// content stream to write content in pdf page.
            PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, fpage, AppendMode.APPEND, true);
            PDStreamUtils.write(contentStream, "contents to write",
                    PDType1Font.HELVETICA, 10, 460, 50, new Color(102, 102, 102));//set stayle and size
            contentStream.close();

        }
    }

I hope it will help you to add footer or header on each page of pdf as well as create pdf.
