Hi again Mark,
I tried this in place of my aforementioned beginText/endText block:
ColumnText columnText = new ColumnText(pdfTemplate);
columnText.setSimpleColumn(x, y, x+boxWidth, y+boxHeight,
columnText.getLeading(), Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
columnText.setText(new Phrase(text, f));
columnText.go();
This works great -- I also get word wrapping! Posted to the list so
others can see some example code.
Thanks again! You rock!
