            table.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, document.leftMargin(),
                    document.bottomMargin() - 15, writer.getDirectContent());

        }
        catch(DocumentException de) {
            throw new ExceptionConverter(de);
        }
    }

    public void onCloseDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document) {

        Font ffont = new Font(Font.FontFamily.UNDEFINED, 10, Font.NORMAL);
        ColumnText.showTextAligned(total, Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
                new Phrase(String.valueOf(writer.getPageNumber() - 1), ffont),
                2, 1, 0);
    }

}

not able to find the bug in this code, Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Your code works fine for me, there must be something wrong with the creation of the document.

In the small test below I create a PDF document with three pages using your helper class and each page has the correct footer set (1/3, 2/3 and 3/3).

public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, DocumentException {
    Document document = new Document();

    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("dest.pdf"));
    LogoHeaderFooter logoHeaderFooter = new LogoHeaderFooter();
    writer.setPageEvent(logoHeaderFooter);

    document.open();

    for (int i = 0; i < 3; ) {
        i++;
        document.add(new Paragraph("Paragraph " + i));
        document.newPage();
    }
    document.close();
}
