Hi,
Here the problem is indesign get the x y cordinate from the center.
So i use like this
Public Function CalculateXY() As Double()
Dim xFrame As Double = 211.89
Dim yFrame As Double = 158.031
Dim WFrame As Double = 85.039
Dim HFrame As Double = 85.039
Dim P_Width As Double = 595.276
Dim P_Height As Double = 841.89
Dim arr(1) As Double
arr(0) = xFrame - (WFrame / 2)
arr(1) = P_Height - (yFrame + (HFrame / 2))
Return arr
End Function
And i am not drawing a rectangle. I just want to create a text with applied font
Dim Verdana As Font = FontFactory.GetFont("Verdana", 9, Font.NORMAL, New
BaseColor(0, 0, 0))
Dim bf As BaseFont = Verdana.BaseFont
pdfContentByte.BeginText()
pdfContentByte.SetFontAndSize(bf, 18)
pdfContentByte.SetTextMatrix(arr(0), arr(1))
pdfContentByte.ShowText("Sample Text")
pdfContentByte.Stroke()
pdfContentByte.EndText()
When i do like this i get the text started at same x position but the y
coordinate varies.
Thanks & Regards
Karthik B
