Re: [iText-questions] Tables and borders
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, I just feel it should be cleaner or
smarter (I really like the idea of setting borders, etc all in one place,
table.DefaultCell - now I have it in my own method, also doable), this is
not meant in a bad way, this is a two platform library, which in it self
have some limitations, there are some things that could be made different in
the C# implementation, but it's important that the code look basically the
same on both platforms.
Well, I encountered a server breaking bug in another PDF library, which is
why I switched, compared to that iTextSharp just needs some learning how
things work, so good stuff :-)

AddCell(PDFPCell).
The easiest solution would be if AddCell(Phrase) returned the newly added
cell, so I could adjust the colspan... but then AddCell looks to need to
know about it when adding the cell...
Some kind of factory method that returns a PDFPCell suitable for addition
with AddCell() without any unnecessary overhead would be nice.
Did I miss something? Or do something in a wrong way?

Yes, I do. and it's not very different from a factory method that copies the table.DefaultCell. I think I just need to read more :-).

How would you override the default cell for these special cells? All our own applications use the default cell for quick results. We use PdfPCell (and its properties) whenever we need to make a difference. Sometimes, we use the copy constructor of PdfPCell to create an empty cell with the same properties as the default cell: PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(table.getDefaultCell()); This way, we don't have to copy all the properties of the default cell manually (that's not the correct work, but you probably know what I mean). -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.

It seems that somewhere between 2008 when Mike wrote his articles and now,
that the default font directories aren't automatically registered :-( Are
there plans to document the iTextSharp project? It seems counterproductive
that every developer has to reverse engineer the library.

You didn't read the full article. You missed the part about registering
fonts.
int totalfonts = FontFactory.RegisterDirectory(C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts);
You can only use font names that are RegisteredFonts in the FontFactory:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (string fontname in FontFactory.RegisteredFonts) {
sb.Append(fontname + \n);
}
doc.Add(new Paragraph(All Fonts:\n + sb.ToString()));
Please don't use iText without reading the official documentation:
http://itextpdf.com/book/
I did read the full article including the passage: !Each time that you call
FontFactory.GetFont(), a new Font object is created. This method will work
directly with all fonts registered by iTextSharp, which includes all fonts
found in the Windows default font directory. On Win XP Pro, that's usually
C:/WINDOWS/Fonts. which seem to imply that iTextSharp automatically
registers all fonts found in the Windows default font directory (direct
quote).

Not sure if I got the wrong version off SF, but I don't have ANY description of the methods in intellisense, not even what the return value of FontFactory.RegistrerDirectories() is... I do think that could be improved (unless I messed up). The javadoc, (i.e. http://api.itextpdf.com/itext/com/itextpdf/text/Paragraph.html#alignment) could include a bit more information (like a list of the valid values, constants in this case, so I wouldn't have to consult the source code), this might be a limitation of the system. NO! I'm not saying that there is no documentation of iText. YES! I am saying that there is little, or outdated documentation of iTextSharp! I haven't read the book, so I don't know the extent of the differences between the book and the implementation of iTextSharp, but if there are differences I can hardly be called documentation of the C# version. No I'm not a troll, I do believe that I'm correct about the amount of documentation, and you haven't provided any evidence to disprove it.Isn't calling anyone with another opinion than your own a troll, itself the actions of a troll?

Re: [iText-questions] C# embedded fonts
No, I didn't reverse engineer the entire library, and having the source
doesn't exactly eliminate the need to extract information about the library
(what is normally in the documentation) the hard way, just makes it easier.
Proper documentation = the book? As I've said delivery is not instant.

Font registration has always been the same in Java and C#. As for
documentation, two book were written about iText and although they are for
Java 99% also applies to C# and most of the example were ported in
http://kuujinbo.info/iTextInAction2Ed/index.aspx. If you have to reverse
engineer the library (an interesting concept, considering the you have the
sources) you didn't care look for the proper documentation.

It seems that somewhere between 2008 when Mike wrote his articles and now,
that the default font directories aren't automatically registered :-( Are
there plans to document the iTextSharp project? It seems counterproductive
that every developer has to reverse engineer the library.

Hi,
from what I can see in
http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/81/iTextSharp-Working-with-Fontsthe
following line should embed a named font (and create a Font object
suitable for use in a Paragraph)
Font = FontFactory.GetFont(name, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED,
size);
except that the resulting pdf doesn't seem to contain any font objects
besides a standard helvetica
1 0 obj
/Type/Font/Subtype/Type1/BaseFont/Helvetica/Encoding/WinAnsiEncoding

exactly the same I get when using
Font = FontFactory.GetFont(name, size);
Am I missing some setup? This is basically my initialization:
public static string[] FontFamily = { Arial, Courier, Arial
Bold, Arial Bold, Arial Black, Arial Bold, Arial Bold, Arial };
_fonts = new ListPdfFont();
var length = Math.Min(FontFamily.Length, FontSize.Length);
for (var i = 0; i length; i++)
_fonts.Add(new PdfFont(FontFamily[i], FontSize[i]));
_document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
_stream = new MemoryStream();
_writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(_document, _stream);
_document.Open();

Re: [iText-questions] C# embedded fonts
By the official documentation you mean the iText book, right? and you also think that it is documentation about the C# version, iTextSharp? I'm saying that the actual C# documentation, written about C# is very hard to find if it exists outside the book about the Java version. If you have any links, please share. From http://itextsharp.com/ Tutorials for Learning iTextSharp Although the official documentation contains tutorials for Java developers only, .NET developers should find iText in Action a useful introduction to iTextSharp. Am I insulting the author of a book, by asking a question about something, that's plainly stated on the front page of the project? Either I didn't insult him (which certainly wasn't my intention) or he should have a word with the administrators of that page first.

Re: [iText-questions] C# embedded fonts
Ok, My story is straight, but my facts were off somewhat, sorry about that. But I didn't claim that it was your site. Are these facts correct? (I don't want to troll or insult anyone, but would like to clear up the facts) iTextSharp is developed by 1T3XT or iText Software Corp? The documentation for C# developers is: - the book iText in Action - the javadoc - the examples converted to C# Is there any other official resources that I've missed?
