[iText-questions] iText and Table, Chapter, Section

[Nicolas Lenoire]

Hello, I have downloaded the iText v0.92, v0.93b and v0.94 and I would to report you some bugs and a change that I have done in the com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfDocument class. I think there is one thing we can't do with iText : setting the distance (gap) between chapters and sections (between a chapter and its sub-chapters and between sub-chapters themselves). I made reports using iText and I thought that the gap between chapters and sub-chapters (i.e. section) is too large. So I had to make a modification that simply adds a carriage return instead of a new line when adding a Section element. if (section.isChapter()) {     newPage(); } // otherwise, we begin a new line else {    /** modified by Sunopsis - 12/08/02 **/    /*newLine();*/    carriageReturn(); } I think this would be a great improvement if we could set this gap through the iText API. Now the little bugs I have encountered : - the class com.lowagie.text.Table has several bugs : * when setting a background color for a cell, this background is often larger than the cell border and overrides it,                 * sometimes when a table has to be splitted on another page, some cells of the splitted row appear on the preceding page while the others apprear on the next one. - since the version 0.93 bookmarks don't appear properly in PDF document when declaring chapters and sections : the titles don't appear.
