TOC example: Chapter 1 .. 4 There's no automatic way to tell iText: - this is a Chunk aligned to the left - that is a Chunk aligned to the right - now put dots between them You could use PdfContentByte to draw some at an absolute position (one left aligned, the other right aligned), then calculate the length of the strings that were drawn and use that information to draw the dotted line, but I don't think this is the best solution in your case (see below). Footer example: Company Name Page 4Document Subject I'd opt for a PdfPTable with the borders set to NO_BORDER. Add the table in the onEndPage method of a PageEvent. Someone Wrote a Heading Too Long to Fit on the Page, or Perhaps Indenting Reduced Space 4 This is indeed the more complex version of the first question. I can think of two possible solutions, but they aren't very elegant. Or you create the chunk with the ToC entry, calculate its length and perform some actions based on this length: - split it if it doesn't fit the page width - add dots until the page width minus the length of the chunk with the page number is reached. Or you work with a 2-column table. You create an Chunk containing only one space character and a genericTag. You add this Chunk to every cell in the first column and draw a dashed/dotted line in the onGenericTag method of a Page event that starts at the lower right coordinate of the rectangle passed to the onGenericTag method and ends add the right border of the first column. If I come up with another idea, I'll let you know ;-) br, Bruno --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[iText-questions] Spacing or leaders between text fragments
Hello, I've been looking for a way to get space or leaders between text fragments, as in a table of contents between title and page number, or a header/footer between header/footer information. TOC example: Chapter 1 .. 4 Footer example: Company Name Page 4Document Subject Is there some way to tell iText to auto-fill spaces/dots between two or three fragments, taking the whole page width? Then there's the more advanced case of a long heading in a TOC wrapping, for extra credit ;-) Example: Someone Wrote a Heading Too Long to Fit on the Page, or Perhaps Indenting Reduced Space 4 Thanks for any tips/pointers!
