Hi,
I followed example Chapter7/ColumnControl.java to create a fax cover sheet
for my project. I am trying to generate text which will be displayed on the
new page without changing the font size.
http://www.nabble.com/file/p16995100/CompleteCoverPage.pdf
CompleteCoverPage.pdf .
In the uploaded pdf, the text is to be displayed under the Comments section.
But no text is displayed. Can anyone please help?
My source code
public class CoverPage {
/** Arial Bold Font of Size 18. */
private static Font ARIAL_BOLD_FONT =
FontFactory.getFont("Arial", 18, Font.BOLD);
/** Arial Normal Font of size 10. */

FontFactory.getFont("Arial", 10, Font.NORMAL);
private static final String COVER_PAGE_TEMPLATE = "CompleteCoverPage.pdf";
private static final Logger logger= Logger.getLogger(CoverPage.class);
private static String destination = "1234567890";
private static String from = "Kartik Krishnan";

"This is a very very long string to test if the line can be" +
" broken into a separate lines and rolled over onto the next
line." +
" We hope that this works. Good Luck !!!!";
