In the call ColumnText.setSimpleColumn(), while the X parameters passed in are the left and right limits of the text to be rendered, the Y parameter is the baseline for the text, not a boundary. The values used internally by iText in ColumnText.showTextAligned are Y - 1 and Y + 2 where Y is the baseline. The baseline is the location of the bottom of a character that has no descender such as A. Tags: ColumnText setSimpleColumn Y
