Hi ,
I am few weeks old to iText. I am using ColumnText to split a PdfPTable if
it doesnt fit on page.
if table is split, then both the portions of the table should have header to
it.
i tried using
table.setHeaderRows(2);
table.setFooterRows(1);, But result was not as expected(May i missed some
thing in using these methods).
Thought i would use columnText as it was said in lot many posts.
Problem i am facing is: if i say column.go() , it doesn't write the content
on document.
I dont know what is missing in my code. Is there any property of columnText
needs to be set before using Go() method so that it will write content on to
Document.
my code goes below.
private void generatepdfReport() {
PdfPTable = createPdfPTable(); // This will create my Table and add
PdfPCells to Table.
ColumnText column = new ColumnText(pdfWriter.getDirectContent());
column.setSimpleColumn(pdfDocument.top(), pdfDocument.left(),
pdfDocument.right(),pdfDocument.bottom());
column.setYLine(pdfDocument.top());
int status = column.START_COLUMN;
status = column.go();
if(ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
pdfDocument.newPage();
column.setYLine(pdfDocument.top());
preparepdfReport(planList, column, status, fundTable, pdfWriter,
instituteName);
}
}
private void preparepdfReport(List planList, ColumnText column, int status,
PdfPTable table, PdfWriter pdfWriter, String instituteName) throws Exception
{
//this will add header to the table on New Page.
PdfPTable headers = createPdfPTable(5, PdfPTable.ALIGN_LEFT,
100f, 6,
Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
headers.addCell( createPdfPCell( instituteName,
12, PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 6, false) );
headers.addCell( createPdfPCell("", 9, PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 6,
false) );
headers.addCell( createPdfPCell( planList.getPlanName() +
ReportProperties.getProperty("CURRENT_TOTAL") +
DOLLAR +
retirementPlan.getPlanAssetValue(), 10,
PdfPCell.NO_BORDER,
6,true) );
headers.addCell( createPdfPCell("", 7, PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 6,
false) );
headers.addCell( createPdfPCell("",PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 2) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("REALLOCATE_EXISTING"), 7,
PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 2, false) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("INVEST_NEW"), 7,
PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 2, false) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("FUND_NAME"),
8, PdfPCell.NO_BORDER, 2, false) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("CURRENT"),
8, false) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("CHANGE_TO"),
8, false) );
headers.addCell(
createPdfPCell(ReportProperties.getProperty("CHANGE_TO"),
8, false) );
pdfDocument.add(headers);
// This will add remaining content in columnText to Page.
column.setYLine(createPdfPCell("",PdfPCell.NO_BORDER,
2).getHeight()*3);
status = column.go();
if(column.hasMoreText(status)) {
pdfDocument.newPage();
column.setYLine(pdfDocument.top());
preparepdfReport(listPlan, column, status, table,
pdfWriter,
instituteName);
}
}
