c# - Adding Header and Footer Images to PDF: Header image doesn't show, Footer is scaled up -

i attempting create simple .pdf using libary itextsharp. making .pdf header & footer have images in them , header margin 300px & footer margin 664px.

my problem: code doesn't insert header image reason , footer image blown up/scaled in size reason.

can tell me whats wrong code. header image should extend whole width of a4 page & 300px in height. footer image should extend whole width of page & 664px in height. both images dont need resized whole width of page & correct heights.

public class itseventshandler : pdfpageeventhelper {     pdftemplate total;     basefont helv;      // following tutorial & said if want create headers/footers when each page created      // should override onendpage() not onstartpage() correct?     public override void onendpage(pdfwriter writer, document document)     {         // post: when each new page created, add header & footer image page. , set top margin 370px         //       , bottom margin 664px.         // result: function executes pdf's header image isn't visible & footer looks resized(scaled in size).          //footer image          itextsharp.text.image imgfoot = itextsharp.text.image.getinstance(resolvepath("~/images/pdf/bottomborder.jpg"));         //header image          itextsharp.text.image imghead = itextsharp.text.image.getinstance(resolvepath("~/images/pdf/topborder.jpg"));          imgfoot.setabsoluteposition(0, 0);         imghead.setabsoluteposition(0, 0);          pdfcontentbyte cbhead = writer.directcontent;         pdftemplate tp = cbhead.createtemplate(2480, 370); // units in pixels i'm not sure if thats correct units         tp.addimage(imghead);          pdfcontentbyte cbfoot = writer.directcontent;         pdftemplate tpl = cbfoot.createtemplate(2480, 664);          tpl.addimage(imgfoot);          cbhead.addtemplate(tp, 0, 0);         cbfoot.addtemplate(tpl, 0, 0);          helv = basefont.createfont(basefont.helvetica, basefont.winansi, basefont.not_embedded);          /*pdfcontentbyte cb = writer.directcontent;         cbfoot.savestate();         document.setmargins(35, 35, 100, 82);         cb.restorestate();*/          //document.newpage();          base.onstartpage(writer, document);     }      public override void onopendocument(pdfwriter writer, document document)     {         total = writer.directcontent.createtemplate(100, 100);         total.boundingbox = new itextsharp.text.rectangle(-20, -20, 100, 100);         helv = basefont.createfont(basefont.helvetica, basefont.winansi, basefont.not_embedded);     } }  // code create pdf  // create document object var document = new document(pagesize.a4, 50, 50, 370, 664); var output = new memorystream(); var writer = pdfwriter.getinstance(document, output); writer.pageevent = new itseventshandler(); // open document writing document.open(); // add paragrahs document.close(); 

when adding templates check location. example:

cbhead.addtemplate(tp, 0, 715); cbfoot.addtemplate(tpl, 0, 0); 

hope helps!
