I want to add a header and a footer, which becomes repeated, to my PDF which becomes created by iText7 by converting the HTML.

However, all examples I found so far on the internet describes how to create a blank PDF by code with header and footer.

Does anybody know how I can achive this? I already tried to use the CSS print media queries to specify some areas but it seems those are ignored by iText7.

The conversion is really simple:

string input = "Bestellung.html";
string output = "Bestellung.pdf";
HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(new FileInfo(input), new FileInfo(output));

bestellung.html is just a plain HTML file with some demo content.

See mediaDeviceDescription under ConverterProperties.

If your input file uses this feature, then you can simply tell pdfHTML to interpret the relevant set of rules:

ConverterProperties props = new ConverterProperties();
props.setMediaDeviceDescription(new
MediaDeviceDescription(MediaType.PRINT));

Then you call the method with this signature:

static void convertToPdf(InputStream htmlStream, PdfDocument pdfDocument, ConverterProperties converterProperties)
