You need to have a leading based on the font size or image size, for example
Paragraph.SetLeading(0, 1.25f).

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Image scaling not possible in some cases
Somehow there was a formatting problem with my thread. Here is it again:
Hi all,
I'd like to put paragraphs in columns and add images in between so that they
don't overlap but follow each other. As it turns out, I can do this but
can't scale the image at the same time.To be more specific:
When I add images
Image img = Image.getInstance(imgFile);
and when I am in composite mode, which means I work with ColumnText and add
objects (paragraphs, images, ...) by
ct.AddElement(p);
ct.AddElement(img);
ct.AddElement(p);
my image gets blown up to the size set previously by
ct.setSimplaColumn(left, bottom, right, top);
and all attempts to scale the image like
img.ScalePercent(100, 50);
before adding it are just IGNORED. The Paragraph p followed by the image is
placed after the image, not over the image, as want it.
However, when I want to scale the image, I have to add it by
ct.AddParagraph(new Chunk(img, 0, 0));
Then the image is not blown up as above and I am even able to scale the
image (all these functions work), however the image is placed over the
existing text and the next paragraph is likewise not placed below the image
but over it. Hence the yLine is not updated after image insertion.
So it seems that I can't have both worlds, what would mean: Being able to
scale the image und at the same time place it between paragraphs without
adjusting the yLine or by other absolute positioning means.
Am I missing a point or are my observations correct ?
I'd appreciate any comments.
PS: I'm using iTextSharp but I don't think that this causes a the problem
here.
