I open an existing PDF with this code snippet:

reader = New PdfReader(filenameSource)
writer = New PdfWriter(destFile)
pdf = New PdfDocument(reader, writer)
doc = New Document(pdf, pdf.GetDefaultPageSize, False)
I can add a paragraph now via doc.add(new Paragraph(...))
But when I try to place a table with table.setFixedPosition(...), the table doesn´t show on the page.
Has anybody any hint for me?
Thanks and best regards
Benjamin
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("LoremIpsum.pdf");
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter("LoremIpsum-with-positioned-table.pdf");
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(reader, writer);
Document doc = new Document(pdf, pdf.GetDefaultPageSize(), false);
Table table = new Table(new float[] { 200 });
table.AddCell(new Cell().Add(new Paragraph("test")).SetBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.CYAN));
table.SetFixedPosition(1, 100, 100, 200);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
This didn't reproduce your issue
  
when I try to place a table with table.setFixedPosition(...), the table doesn´t show on the page.
because the result looks like this:
The table clearly shows.
                Thank you very much for your effort. I appreciate this very much! I will go back into my own code and look for the error - that must be in there anywhere.  I will come back here to tell my results or any new questions....

                I don´t know what my error was - but I deleted the whole code and wrote it again, and I was very accurate.... and now it works. Sorry for bothering you and thank you for your help!
