I'm trying to convert the xml from a Word document to PDF using iText, adding
lots of additional content en-route. The documents are quite complex which
is why I want the users to be able to edit the source document with Word.
In Word, when you specify the background colour for a paragraph it is
applied across the page-width which is different to iText, which only sets
the background for the written text (by setting the background colour on the
Chunks in a paragraph). I know I can extend the background by using
setBackground(color,l,b,r,t), but how do I calculate l and r to ensure it
reaches the page margins? There seems to be a lack of functions that return
text width for a paragraph.
Thanks.
