Hi all,
I am attempting to write Excel to Pdf conversion utility and find myself
stuck at determining width/height sizes for PdfPTable/PdfPCell.
Excel column width is specified in "Char Unit" defined as 1/256 of size of a
character i.e. 1 char unit = 1/256 of width of a character (width of
character is determined by excel)
and excel row height is specified in "twips" which is defined as 1/20 of a
point. On the other hand iText deals with "User space units" which is
defined as 1/72 of an inch.

So for example if Excel column width is 7058 char units which roughly equals
to 27 characters (or if I use Calibri 11pt font that has approximately 7
pixel width it is 190 pixels) how do I calculate equivalent number of user
space units? Does anyone here has experience dealing these conversions? Any
help/pointers are highly appreciated.


Thanks
Ashish
