[itextsharp-questions] Setting left and right page margins

[Kent Matthew]

I'm using the .NET version of iText in a VB.NET program and I'm trying to set the margins of my PDF using the following code

Dim doc As Document = New Document(PageSize.LETTER, 36, 36, 36, 36)

The only problem is that it doesn't work. The top margin is set correctly, but the left and right margins remain unaffected regardless of what point sizes I use. Is this a feature that only works in Java and not in .NET or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
- Kent

Yes, it works.

We'd have to see the rest of your code to know if something was wrong. The
code you've shown so far is correct, and identical code works for me on a
daily basis.

What do you add to the document after this?

Hi Paulo,

That's good news! Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've attached an example of the PDF I'm able to generate with margins that are too big, a PDF which has the smaller (half-inch) margins I'm looking for (not generated by iTextSharp), and the code I'm using to generate the PDF. Even though I'm using the line

Dim doc As Document = New Document(PageSize.LETTER, 36, 36, 36, 36)

maybe I'm screwing it up elsewhere in the code. I figure if you can see all the code in context, you'll be able to pinpoint my error.

Thank you for your help!

Tables are created by default at 70% width relative to the page margins. You
need:

PdfPTable.WidthPercentage = 100
