Hi Having ordered the book "iText in Action" but not reveived it yet - I now need some advice here. I wonder which way I should go if I have the following consdiderations to make:
- The PDF will be generated dynamically built upon data collected in several web forms (nothing strange about this) - But there are several parts where I don't know the length of ahead. For example the users is submitting multiple instances of certain strings - which could be implemented using PdfPTable - but how about page breaks here, will a PdfPTable automatically continue on the next page (and I might need a table header on each subsequent page informing that this table/list belongs to table/list from previous page) - And depending on other selections the user has made, some text blocks may vary in size. Is ColumnText a bad choice here Summarizing the nature of the PDF that is to be genereated is that I need automatic page break detection, and some automatic flow since I don't know the size of lists and length of texts ahead. And, additionally, we need to have a template to be loaded containing a first page header (logo, address etc) and a document-id vertical oriented in the left page margin, where the last 4 digits is corresponding to the total number of pages (dynamic) in the generated doc and the current page's sequential position within the PDF. Any advice? /R -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Choice-of-method-tp2993417p2993417.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
