[iText-questions] Trouble adding PdfPCell to PdfPTable . . .

[Tom Kofford]

The following creates an endless loop during the table.addCell(PdfPCell) in 
the ColumnText.findLimitsTwoLines() method.  None of the conditions which 
produce a return are satisified in the method (in this case lineStatus == 
LINE_STATUS_OK, and x1[0] == x2[1]) so the loop continues forever.

Font normalFont = new Font(Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 12, Font.NORMAL);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
Phrase phrase = new Phrase("Sample Text", normalFont);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(phrase);
cell.setBorderWidth(1);
cell.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP);
cell.setColspan(2);
table.addCell(cell);
If I move the cell.setColspan(2), after the table.addCell(cell), the endless 
loop problem goes away but then the border is only applied to the first 
column.

I just started using iText, so I'm sure I'm missing something.  I need the 
ability to use a specific font for text in a table and have borders on only 
the top and bottom of the table.  If there is another way to accomplish 
this, I'd love to know.

Thanks,
Tom
