I need help creating a checkbox. I do not want a field, but a rectangle with
an X is checked, nothing if not checked. What I have below works.
Unfortunately, when the PDF is rendered the checkboxes are slightly below
adjoining text. I wrote a method that returns a cell, which has the checkbox
in it. The calling program adds that cell to a table. I want the cell which
is added to the final table in the calling program, to be slightly higher,
so it is aligned with text in adjacent cells. Thanks
Cell column2 = p.checkBox(false);
Cell column3 = p.checkBox(false);
Cell column4 = p.checkBox(false);
Cell column5 = p.checkBox(false);
table = p.table(6,new int[] {7,7,7,7,7,65});
it = posting.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
post = (Post) it.next();
isContact = false;
if (post.getTranCode().equals("N01")) {
isContact = true;
column2 = p.checkBox(true);
}
if (post.getTranCode().equals("N02")) {
isContact = true;
column3 = p.checkBox(true);
}
if (post.getTranCode().equals("N03")) {
isContact = true;
column4 = p.checkBox(true);
}
if (post.getTranCode().equals("N04")) {
isContact = true;
column5 = p.checkBox(true);
}
if (isContact) {
table.addCell(p.cellDefault(ToolsMisc.shortDate(post.getEffectiveDate()),Cell.ALIGN_LEFT,0));
table.addCell(column2);
table.addCell(column3);
table.addCell(column4);
table.addCell(column5);
table.addCell(p.cellDefault(post.getComment(),Cell.ALIGN_LEFT,0));
}
}
doc.add(table);
public Cell checkBox(boolean isChecked) throws Exception {
Chunk ch = new Chunk(isChecked?"X":" ");
Cell c = new Cell();
c.setBorder(15); //top, bottom, left, right
c.setBorderWidth(1);
c.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
c.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_TOP);
c.setUseBorderPadding(false);
c.setUseAscender(true);
c.add(ch);
Table t = new Table(1);
t.setSpaceInsideCell(0);
t.setSpaceBetweenCells(0);
t.setSpacing(0);
t.addCell(c);
t.setWidth(22);
c = new Cell();
c.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
c.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_TOP);
c.setUseBorderPadding(false);
c.setUseAscender(true);
c.add(t);
return c;
}
