Hi
Sorry I'm new to using iText so my apologies if the below code is an
abomination to all things iText.
My problem is simple, when there is only one page to render the pdf is
created flawlessly. However
when I go to a second page the ColumnText seems to be appearing at the
very bottom of the second
page with the rest of the text(presumably rendered off-screen, the
document will only ever be one or
two pages).
I'm using an onStartPage event to render a background image(covering the
entire page) to the
DirectContentUnder. If I'm doing anything particularly weird I'd
appreciate the feedback on
how to improve the code/technique.
Regards
Kevin
The Abomination follows....
-----------------------------------------------------
document.open();
PdfContentByte topLayer = writer.getDirectContent();
try {
topLayer.setFontAndSize(BaseFont.createFont(), 9f);
} catch (IOException e) {
log.error(e);
}
ColumnText column = new ColumnText(topLayer);
column.setSimpleColumn(HORIZONTALINDENT, VERTICALINDENT,
document.right() - HORIZONTALINDENT, document.top() - VERTICALINDENT,
0f, Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
for(int i=0; i < getNumPages(); i++)
{
float lineSpacing = 9f;
Font textfont = new Font(Font.COURIER , 9f, Font.NORMAL);
Paragraph paraText= new Paragraph( getPage(i).toString(), textfont);
paraText.setLeading(lineSpacing);
paraText.setSpacingBefore(0f);
paraText.setSpacingAfter(0f);
column.addElement(paraText);
column.go();
if(i+1 < getNumPages()){
document.newPage();
topLayer.reset();
}
}
document.close();
