Thanks for your response. If the example were working
with anchors, it would solve the problem, but it
doesn't: the same anchor object when added directly to
the document creates a correct link, if used in the
table, it is just a plain text.
Here is code example (simplified
headers_watermarks.java, I removed image, watermark
etc to make code shorter).
import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
public class headers_and_watermarks extends
PdfPageEventHelper {
public Image headerImage;
public PdfPTable table;
public PdfTemplate tpl;
public BaseFont helv;
private static Paragraph ref;
{
Anchor anchor = new
Anchor("http://www.yahoo.com",anchorFont);
Font anchorFont = new Font(5, 9);
anchor.setReference("http://www.yahoo.com";);
anchor.setName("http://www.yahoo.com";);
ref = new Paragraph("link: ");
ref.add(anchor);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4,
50, 50, 100, 72);
PdfWriter writer =
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new
FileOutputStream("c:\\headers_and_watermarks.pdf"));
PdfPageEvent pageEvent = new
headers_and_watermarks();
writer.setPageEvent(pageEvent);
doc.open();
String text = "some padding text ";
for (int k = 0; k < 5; ++k)
text += text;
Paragraph p = new Paragraph(text);
p.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);
doc.add(p);
doc.add(ref);
doc.close();
System.out.println("Finished.");
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void onOpenDocument(PdfWriter writer,
Document document) {
try {
table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.addCell(ref);
tpl =
writer.getDirectContent().createTemplate(100, 100);
tpl.setBoundingBox(new Rectangle(-20, -20,
100, 100));
helv = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica",
BaseFont.WINANSI, false);
}
catch(Exception e) {
throw new ExceptionConverter(e);
}
}
public void onEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document
document) {
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.saveState();
table.setTotalWidth(document.right() -
document.left());
table.writeSelectedRows(0, -1,
document.left(), document.getPageSize().height() - 50,
cb);
String text = "Page " + writer.getPageNumber()
+ " of ";
float textSize = helv.getWidthPoint(text, 12);
float textBase = document.bottom() - 20;
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize(helv, 12);
cb.setTextMatrix(document.left(), textBase);
cb.showText(text);
cb.endText();
cb.addTemplate(tpl, document.left() +
textSize, textBase);
}
public void onCloseDocument(PdfWriter writer,
Document document) {
tpl.beginText();
tpl.setFontAndSize(helv, 12);
tpl.setTextMatrix(0, 0);
tpl.showText("" + (writer.getPageNumber() -
1));
tpl.endText();
}
}
