  I tried the example, but I got an error message --
  Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter' does not contain a definition for 'getInstance'
  
  I'm wondering what is wrong.
  
  Thanks,
  Mike

  Try:

  PdfWriter.GetInstance(mydocument, New FileStream("filename.pdf", FileMode.Create));

  If you're using C# it's case sensitive and the "g" needs to be uppercase.

  I have a problem using itextsharp: I want to append a document to one existing, therefore i write:
  PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,new FileStream(filename,FileMode.Append,FileAccess.Write));
  I also tried a StreamWriter:
  StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filename,true);
  sw.AutoFlush = true;
  PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,sw.BaseStream);
  
  Now the Problem is, that the Filesize of the pdf document is getting bigger and bigger, but I can always just see the last page added to the document
  
  does anyone has any idea?? thx

  This package cannot create PDF file from a string variable that contains Arabic letters
  
  When creating PDF file of Arabic letters, there is no text in the output file.

  Hello,I found out how to generate Arabic PDF files, here is an example:

  Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);

  // step 2

  PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream("righttoleft.pdf",FileMode.Create));

  // step 3

  document.Open();

  BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\times.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);

  iTextSharp.text.

  Font f2 = new iTextSharp.text.Font(bf, 24, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL, iTextSharp.text.Color.BLUE);

   

  String atext = "اهلا";

  PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);

  table.RunDirection=

  PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL;

  PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(10, atext, f2));

  table.AddCell(cell);

  document.Add(table);

  document.Close();
