Image in bottom right corner of cell in iTextPdf

Question

I'm struggling to find a way to place an image into bottom right corner of a cell in a table in iTextPdf.

I want to have image here:

I was playing with IPdfPCellEvent, but no luck so far.

Right now there's a bunch of newlines at the end, so the text wrapping/overflow isn't an issue.

You can use a IPdfPCellEvent implementation like this one:

public class ImageDecorator : IPdfPCellEvent
{
    Image image;

    public ImageDecorator(Stream inputImageStream)
    {
        image = Image.GetInstance(inputImageStream);
        image.ScaleToFit(100, 100);
    }

    public void CellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle position, PdfContentByte[] canvases)
    {
        PdfContentByte canvas = canvases[PdfPTable.BACKGROUNDCANVAS];
        canvas.AddImage(image, image.ScaledWidth, 0, 0, image.ScaledHeight, position.Right - image.ScaledWidth, position.Bottom);
    }
}

Using it like this

using (Stream inputImageStream = new FileStream(imageURL, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(dest, FileMode.Create))
{
    ImageDecorator imageDecorator = new ImageDecorator(inputImageStream);

    Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
    doc.Open();

    string loremIpsum = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

    PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);

    PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
    cell.CellEvent = imageDecorator;
    cell.AddElement(new Paragraph(loremIpsum));
    table.AddCell(cell);

    cell = new PdfPCell();
    cell.CellEvent = imageDecorator;
    cell.AddElement(new Paragraph(loremIpsum));
    table.AddCell(cell);

    doc.Add(table);

    doc.Close();
}

I get
