I use DirectContent and would like to write underlined text to a
specific position. For normal text i use:
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("test.pdf"));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.beginText();
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "text", 10, 10, 0);
Now i could not find a way to make a BaseFont underlined. In the Font
class, there is a related method to underline the text, but i can not
set Font with cb.setFontAndSize().
No, class Font is a convenience class wrapped around BaseFont.
It can only be used in objects such as Paragraph, Phrase, Chunk,...
<> Could please someone give a hint, how i can solve that issue?
You can use ColumnText. You can add all kinds of objects to
a ColumnText object, including underlined Chunks of text.
Place the ColumnText at the absolute position and you're done.
Or you can draw the line yourself using moveTo, lineTo and stroke
commands.
