Subject: [iText-questions] Help with PdfContentByte

> I'm using PdfContentByte to position text (which are variables filled from
a

> Problem is only the last page is showing up ... its like the contentbyte
is
> overwritten... how do i stop this from happening. If I take away the new
> page command the loop works fine, just writes on top of itself on one
page.
> When I have the new page in there it does crazy stuff... like blank pages
