Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Vertical Position of the first paragraph
IdentationLeft works for me, but in this case I would need IdentationUp, but
this don't exist
SpacingBefore would be good for me, but it don't works.
In the meantime I used this:
I printed a blank paragraph first
prf = New Paragraph(" ", fnt)
Doc.Add(prf)
and then printed my actual paragraph, with SapacingBefore=100
prf = New Paragraph(x, fnt)
prf.SpacingBefore = 100
prf.set()
Doc.Add(prf)
I am sure this way is not fine, but runs well
How would be your code if you need to begin printing a paragraph at position
620?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something like this? I don't know...
public static void paragraphAtPosition(){
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
document.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String filename = "HelloWorld.pdf";
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("A phrase positioned at 620 units
from left and 10 units from the top");
Paragraph p2 = new Paragraph("A phrase positioned at 0 units
from left");
PdfWriter writer = null;
PdfContentByte cb = null;
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.setTotalWidth(250);
table.addCell(p);
PdfPTable table2 = new PdfPTable(1);
table2.setTotalWidth(250);
table2.addCell(p2);
try{
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filename);
writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, fos);
document.open();
document.addTitle("Hello World !!");
cb = writer.getDirectContent();
table.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, 172,
document.getPageSize().getTop() - 10, cb);
table2.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, 0,
document.getPageSize().getTop() - 10 - table.getTotalHeight(), cb);
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("writer vertical pos: " +
writer.getVerticalPosition(false)); // prints: writer vertical pos: 792.0
document.close();
File file = new File(path + "\\" + filename);
try {
Desktop.getDesktop().open(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
