There might be different ways to do this. 1. Without a PdfPTable: construct a String with the complete line and measure it. Add points until a certain width is reached. 2. With PageEvents: put the 'FirstName LastName' in one Chunk with a generic tag and 'Phone Number' in another. Let the Event-class keep the position of the first in memory and draw the points when the second generic tag is triggered. 3. With a PdfPCellEvent: get the PdfPCell from the Event, ask for the content of the Phrase contained by the cell with getChunks and do some calculations... (rather difficult). Maybe some people on the mailing list will send you other suggestions... br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
