itext7 table SetFixedPosition on Page 1 fails
0
I can´t believe, what I see....
I try to print a table with itext7 into a PDF on a defined page. The table-creation is made as last statement before finishing the PDF.
The PDF has (after finishing) 5 pages. I can print the table to every page except the first page.
This is my code:
If placeOnPage = 0 Then
table.SetFixedPosition(200, 250, 100)
Else
table.SetFixedPosition(placeOnPage, 200, 250, 100)
End If
If placeOnPage = 0, then the table is printed correctly on the last page. If I set placeOnPage to values between 2 and 5, the table is correctly placed on page 2, 3, 4 or 5. But if I set placeOnPage to 1, I get an error at the line
doc.add(table)
The error says:
System.NullReferenceException: "object reference not set to an instance of an object"
I don´t know which object is NULL. Everythin else is exactly the same in all my tries....
Can anybody give me a hint?
Regards,
Benni

"I don´t know which object is NULL" please show the stack trace of the error. Chances are, though, that the pdf in question and enough code to reproduce the error with it also are required to analyze the issue.

ANullReferenceExceptionthere sounds like the page dictionary object has already been released at the time this happens. iText usually attempts to flush generated pages to output as early as possible and then releases their data. Probably your code triggers that flushing before adding that table to page 1? To analyze this better more code is necessary.

Nov 22 '18 at 10:47
Yes, this is shurely the reason. What I try is to add the table to the first page at the very end of the generation of the PDF document. The document finally has 5 pages, and just before doc.close I want to add the table to page 1. So this is not possible? And what about opening an existing document and adding a table to the first page?

This was a good hint. I set "immediateFlush" at the creation of "Document" to false. Then the page remains "editable" and I cant paste the table to the first page.

"immediateFlush" - yes, this is what I would have proposed now. "But now I have another question" - please make that an actual new stack overflow question.

"I don´t know which object is NULL" please show the stack trace of the error. Chances are, though, that the pdf in question and enough code to reproduce the error with it also are required to analyze the issue.

A
NullReferenceExceptionthere sounds like the page dictionary object has already been released at the time this happens. iText usually attempts to flush generated pages to output as early as possible and then releases their data. Probably your code triggers that flushing before adding that table to page 1? To analyze this better more code is necessary.– mkl

Yes, this is shurely the reason. What I try is to add the table to the first page at the very end of the generation of the PDF document. The document finally has 5 pages, and just before doc.close I want to add the table to page 1. So this is not possible? And what about opening an existing document and adding a table to the first page?
