How to insert new page in PDF with itextSharp

Question

I have 2 tables in my form. I am generating PDF file with the help of itextsharp.dll

I want to break the page when 2nd table is started but it can't work right now

I inserted 2 tables in panel & write following code

*******************************************************************************************

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Report.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);

panelPrint.RenderControl(htmlWrite);

System.IO.StringReader sr = new System.IO.StringReader(stringWrite.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 7f);
//Document pdfDoc = new Document(
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();

***********************************************************************************************

So please tell me how to break that page when 2nd table is started?

If I understood you correctly essentially you want to create a new PDF file with C# code from those two HTML tables and insert a page break between them. For this you can use a .NET's component for word documents  for example here is how you can do this conversion in .NET from the HTML into a PDF : panelPrint.RenderControl(htmlWrite); // Load HTML text. DocumentModel document; var options = LoadOptions .HtmlDefault; using ( var htmlStream = new MemoryStream (options.Encoding.GetBytes(stringWrite.ToString()))) document = DocumentModel .Load(htmlStream options); // Get second Table element. var secondTable = document.GetChildElements( true  ElementType .Table).Skip(1).First(); // Insert PageBrak element. secondTable.Content.Start.InsertRange( new Paragraph (document new SpecialCharacter (document SpecialCharacterType .PageBreak)).Content); // Download PDF file. document.Save( this .Response Report.pdf ); Notice that this last line (Save method's call) actually exports that PDF file to ASP.NET's client so you can remove your code that sets headers and content type on the Response (it will do it for you).

Here is a more simply way to insert a new page in PDF file: //create a PDF document and load file PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); doc.LoadFromFile(sample.pdf); //insert blank page at the end of the PDF file doc.Pages.Add(); //insert blank page as the second page doc.Pages.Insert(1); After creating the new page you can then insert 2nd table to this page.
