Simple page number for iTextsharp in C#

Here is my code in C#, visual studio 2015, MS Access 2007 database and iTextsharp report. I need to set simple page number as 1, 2, 3 ...; Please help me.

private void btnPrintForFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//Creating iTextSharp Table from the DataTable data

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(12);

PdfPTable pdfTable = new PdfPTable(dataGridView1.ColumnCount);

PdfPTable CountSum = new PdfPTable(1);

pdfTable.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;

pdfTable.WidthPercentage = 100;

pdfTable.SpacingBefore = 10f;

pdfTable.DefaultCell.BorderWidth = 0;

CountSum.WidthPercentage = 100;

CountSum.SpacingBefore = 10f;

CountSum.DefaultCell.BorderWidth = 0;

iTextSharp.text.Font fontTable = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 9, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);

iTextSharp.text.Font fontTable1 = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 12, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK);

//1st Line (Logo + Bank Name + Branch Name)

iTextSharp.text.Image logo = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("JBLWhiteLogo.jpg");

PdfPCell cell1 = new PdfPCell(logo);

cell1.Colspan = 5;

cell1.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;

cell1.BorderWidth = 0;

table.AddCell(cell1);

PdfPCell BranchName = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" Janata Bank Limited" + Environment.NewLine + " Ganna Bazar Branch, Jhenaidah", fontTable1));

BranchName.Colspan = 7;

BranchName.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;

BranchName.BorderWidth = 0;

table.AddCell(BranchName);

PdfPCell CountAndSum = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Total Number : " + lblCount.Text.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + "Total Amount : " + lblSum.Text.ToString(), fontTable1));

CountAndSum.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;

CountAndSum.BorderWidth = 0;

CountSum.AddCell(CountAndSum);

//Adding Header row

foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView1.Columns)

{

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(column.HeaderText,fontTable));

pdfTable.AddCell(cell);

}

//Adding DataRow

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)

{

foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)

{

pdfTable.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(cell.Value.ToString(), fontTable)) { Border = PdfPCell.BOTTOM_BORDER, Padding = 5, MinimumHeight = 30, PaddingTop = 5 });

}

//create a document object

var doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());

//get the current directory

string path = Environment.CurrentDirectory;

//get PdfWriter object

PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream(path + "/pdfdoc.pdf", FileMode.Create));

//open the document for writing

doc.Open();

doc.Add(table);

doc.Add(pdfTable);

doc.Add(CountSum);

//close the document

doc.Close();

//view the result pdf file

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path + "/pdfdoc.pdf");

}

Try this code :

using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
protected void AddPageNumber(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\PDFs\Test.pdf");
Font blackFont = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(bytes);
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream))
{
int pages = reader.NumberOfPages;
for (int i = 1; i <= pages; i++)
{
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(stamper.GetUnderContent(i), Element.ALIGN_RIGHT, new Phrase(i.ToString(), blackFont), 568f, 15f, 0);
}
}
bytes = stream.ToArray();
}
File.WriteAllBytes(@"D:\PDFs\Test_1.pdf", bytes);
}
