place text next to image html to pdf using itextsharp

Question

I am converting html to pdf using itextsharp. I have to place text next to the image not below the image. In html I am able to place text next to image but in pdf the text line starts after image

Please help.

Since you mention HTML, you understand block and inline display, right? By analogy, iTextSharp's default Image display is block. To inline Image objects you need to:

1. Add images to Chunk object(s)
2. Add text in Phrase object(s)
3. Then add those object to a Paragraph object

Something like this:

Image image = Image.GetInstance(imagePath);  
Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
p.Add(new Phrase("Text next to the image "));
p.Add(new Chunk(image, 0, 0));
p.Add(new Phrase(" and text after the image.")); 
document.Add(p);

Replace imagePath above with the physical path to your image
