Re: [iText-questions] Vertical alignment in PdfPCells

[Steve Appling]

Thanks for catching that bug, Paulo.  Here is a revised version of
ColumnText that handles composite elements correctly (I think :).  At least
I have a simple test case that failed before and now works.  I also changed
ColumnText.duplicate to use setACopy (just avoiding a small amount of code
duplication).

I added the code to copy the useAscender flag directly to the goComposite
method since that is how everything else is copied.  Would it be better to
use setACopy to copy all of the ColumnText fields, then override a few with
parameters from the added Element?  It would be nice to have the bulk of
parameter copying in one place.

Thanks again for pointing out the problem.

A composite element is an element added with ColumntText.addElement(),
it's the same with PdfPCell. The processing is done in
ColumnText.goComposite(). If firstPass == true and it's a Paragraph or a
List you'll have to pass to the constructed ColumnText the Ascent flag.
