I am needing to be able to shift a document in iTextSharp while using PDFStamper to stamp overlays on the document. It is being used for statement files. We want to be able to shift the margins while doing a page iteration loop using the PDFReader. How could I go about this? Do I have to go through the full process of stamping the file, then create yet another file that does the shifting. any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Is this related to your other question? http://stackoverflow.com/q/23790532/231316 Can you explain "shift" some more? "Margins" are a convenience that iText provides during creation but they don't actually exist within a PDF. If you can provide a sample image of what you're trying to do, before and after, we might be able to help more. – Chris Haas May 23 '14 at 17:54
  • I need to move all content up say .25 inches, or maybe even on x coordinate .75 inches, while going through the process of doing the PDF stamping. I cannot show example as I work with banking statements. – Casey ScriptFu Pharr May 23 '14 at 18:11
  • See, what I am trying to do is acomplish thi sis one run. I do not want to ad even more processes to my code. For example, a run to insert backers and overlays onto a dicument. Then, create yet another run, to change the margins of each page. I was trying to find away to do it all at the same time. I am not using the Document methods or the PDFCopy methods, but the readers and PDFStamper to add the overlays. So I wanted to know if I could say, stamp the overlay, and then take the imported page, and shift it down by one inch. Something like that. – Casey ScriptFu Pharr May 23 '14 at 18:31
  • Is there no way to nip this in the bud early and just fix the source documents? – Chris Haas May 23 '14 at 18:32

    Is [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12798583/itext-how-to-move-down-the-current-contents-in-a-pdf/12813721#12813721) what you want? – mkl May 23 '14 at 23:04
  • Yes, and thank you. Sorry, for the late reply. I am in the process of moving and have a 6 ear old boy and 3 year old girl, so got my hands full over the holiday weekend. Thanks again. – Casey ScriptFu Pharr May 27 '14 at 13:37
