    text
    copied!<p>I am using iTextSharp to create a <code>List&lt;PdfReader&gt; _documents</code> with several PDF documents. After using merge on this list to create single paged document and send it to the client I see that the PDF looks cut in Adobe Reader. When I highlight the picture like this I can see it's there :</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5rRXe.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>and if I save it it will be complete.</p> <p>If I save one of <code>PdfReader</code> in list as single PDF document - without merge - it looks good.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7lZsF.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>The merge function is : </p> <pre><code>public void Merge(Stream outputStream) { Document newDocument = null; try { newDocument = new Document(); // Set margins and page size for the document newDocument.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50); // There are a huge number of possible page sizes, including such sizes as // EXECUTIVE, LEGAL, LETTER_LANDSCAPE, and NOTE newDocument.SetPageSize(PageSize.A3 ); PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(newDocument, outputStream); newDocument.Open(); PdfContentByte pdfContentByte = pdfWriter.DirectContent; if (EnablePagination) { _documents.ForEach(delegate(PdfReader doc) { _totalPages += doc.NumberOfPages; }); } int currentPage = 1; foreach (PdfReader pdfReader in _documents) { for (int page = 1; page &lt;= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++) { newDocument.NewPage(); PdfImportedPage importedPage = pdfWriter.GetImportedPage(pdfReader, page); pdfContentByte.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, 0); if (EnablePagination) { pdfContentByte.BeginText(); pdfContentByte.SetFontAndSize(_baseFont, 9); pdfContentByte.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, string.Format("{0} of {1}", currentPage++, _totalPages), 520, 5, 0); pdfContentByte.EndText(); } } } } finally { outputStream.Flush(); if (newDocument != null) newDocument.Close(); outputStream.Close(); } } </code></pre> <p>I suspect it has something to do with <code>newDocument.SetPageSize(PageSize.A3);</code> but I am not sure and so far I can't find the solution.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
