Is it possible to do something like this:
int status = ct.go(true);
boolean isFirstPage = true;
while (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
if (isFirstPage) {
// Write to the first page -- as much as
possible
ct.setSimpleColumn(page1BodyFieldPos[1],
page1BodyFieldPos[2],
page1BodyFieldPos[3], page1BodyFieldPos[4]);
status = ct.go();
isFirstPage = false;
} else {
// Write to the second page -- the rest of the
text.
ct.setCanvas(stamper.getOverContent((int)
page2BodyFieldPos[0]));
ct.setSimpleColumn(page2BodyFieldPos[1],
page2BodyFieldPos[2],
page2BodyFieldPos[3], page2BodyFieldPos[4]);
status = ct.go();
}
}
I have an existing stamper, and I was creating columntext objects for it.
the '...FieldPos' variables are the result of form.getFieldPosition() for
placeholder fields I have in the template doc.
Or is it better to rearrange and use a document with document.newPage?
