Please take a look at the following example: http://1t3xt.be/?15a An XML with this text: http://examples.itextpdf.com/resources/xml/say_peace.xml is converted to PDF like this: http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part3/chapter11/say_peace.pdf The PdfPTable/PdfPCell classes are used to achieve this.
If you want a ColumnText example, see: http://1t3xt.be/?169 The resulting PDF looks like this: http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part3/chapter11/right_to_left.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Many questions posted to this list can (and will) be answered with a reference to the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Please check the keywords list before you ask for examples: http://itextpdf.com/themes/keywords.php
