@Luis: it’s already a while ago that you have posted that question, so I assume that you have solved the problem. Anyway, here’s my solution:

Rectangle a4 = PageSize.A4;
Rectangle a4Landscape = a4.rotate();
Document doc = new Document(a4Landscape);

For me, it works like a charm… The paper is in landscape format and the content is written in the correct orientation.

I have a problem con iText I need generate a document in landscape orientation; for that I imported a pdf file and write on it, the pdf that I import is in letter horizontal position, when the program generates the result pdf, the application always gave me a document with portrait position, the text that program puts in document are in correct orientation but the document are wrong orientation, I don’t know why the code read the base pdf in landscape position and gave one in portrait, the page size are read and asigned with these commands

Rectangle pageSize = reader.getPageSize(1);
document = new Document(pageSize);

If I use the method rotate in
document = new Document(pageSize.rotate());

I obtain a document in landascape but the base pdf are in portrait position and cutted by the size of the page

I don’t know how do for obtain a pdf in landascape position. :( correctly

Please Help me

I have an open document I am writing to. Instead of adding a new Paragraph Element, what if I want to write the entire contents of an existing PDF File?
