How do I add cell in my pdftable and insert pictures into it

Question

I'm trying to create a pdf with 10 images. All these 10 images can be retrieved directly from the database by using this method below.

This are the codes that i used to create a PdfPTable to insert my data inside.

    protected void btnPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        var doc1 = new Document();
        var filename = "MyTestPDF" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmssfff") + ".pdf";
        var output = new FileStream(Path.Combine("C:\\Users\\apr13mpsip\\Downloads", filename), FileMode.Create);
        iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc1, output);
        doc1.Open();


        PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);

        table.TotalWidth = 585f;
        table.LockedWidth = true;


        PdfPTable table2 = new PdfPTable(1);
        table2.TotalWidth = 585f;
        table2.LockedWidth = true;

        iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPCell imgCell1 = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPCell();

        var logo = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(Server.MapPath("~/image/logo.jpg"));
        doc1.Add(logo);

        var titleFont = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 15, Font.BOLD);
        doc1.Add(new Paragraph("Official Report. Member Report ID : " + DDLCase.SelectedValue, titleFont));

        var normalFont = FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 14, Font.BOLD);
        var phrase = new Phrase();
        var phrase2 = new Phrase();

This is my database connection codes where i link my SQL server database with my project.

        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source = localhost; Initial Catalog = project; Integrated Security = SSPI");

        SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("Select lro.fullname, lro.contact, mr.typeofcrime, mr.location,mr.crdatetime, mr.citizenreport, pr.policeid,  pr.prdatetime, pr.policereport, aor.officialreport,  mr.image1, mr.image2, mr.image3, mr.image4, mr.image5,  pr.image1, pr.image2, pr.image3, pr.image4, pr.image5 from MemberReport mr, PoliceReport pr, LoginRegisterOthers lro, AdminOfficialReport aor where mr.memberreportid = '" + DDLCase.SelectedValue + "' and mr.memberreportid=pr.memberreportid and pr.policereportid=aor.policereportid", con);
        con.Open();
        SqlDataReader dr;

        dr = cm.ExecuteReader();

This is how i used datareader to read the data in my SQL server and retrieve the respective images and information that will be generated and displayed into the PDF.

 if (dr.Read())
        {

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Full Name :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[0].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Contact :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[1].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Type Of Crime :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[2].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Location :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[3].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Citizen Report Date Time :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[4].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

            phrase.Add(new Chunk("Citizen Report :", normalFont));
            phrase.Add(dr[5].ToString());

            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
            phrase.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);

}

I also have a PdfPTable which only has one column and I wasn't able to add cell to allocate specific image into specific cell.

As you can see I retrieve my image directly from my SQL database hence I believe it would be even harder to add the image into respective cell.

Here's a few of my link1 and link2 about the thread i have posted which all have picture alignment problem. The links provided above all have pictures that shows big alignment problems. Hence, the only way i can think of to align the picture properly is to add a cell and place the image into respective cells. I hope to have pictures that are aligned side by side with the same size.

Answer 1

I have been doing something like this earlier. Where your image byte array from the database goes into the GetInstance at Image.

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
iTextSharp.text.Image image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imagebytearray);
PdfPcell cell = new PdfPCell(image);
table.AddCell(cell);

Answer 2

对于图片大小：image.ScaleToFit（）
