Hi Nurettin,

Sounds like table of contents is being auto-generated by iText. If so, I am not familiar with that feature of iText but chances are that you could patch it to use one of the two suggested algorithms when building TOC.

"I found out that setting the depth to zero does not show the original numbers"

What do you mean by this? Are you setting the value in String.format to 0. If you set it to 0 that is expected behaviour. You should set it to the max. number of chars you expect the field to be so it can always pad them to the same length.

Yes, the bookmarks titles return from the sections title and the latter is build in cunstruct title. Depending on the numberDepth, the numbers are inserted in front of the title or if numberDepth = 0, the title returns unchanged. I tested setting the numberDepth=0 which removed the numbering in titles, so I could use any phrase (maybe using the table approach) - but in that case I have to "number" myself somewhere else...

    Thanks for the answer.

    Yes, I am the one who creates the whole document ;-)

    I think this does not solve the problem. Referring to the sources,
    numbers for chapters and sections are inserted as separate chunk
    in front of the title paragraph.
    I found out that setting the depth to zero does not show the
    original numbers. So using a pdfPTable would be perfect to set the
    width, but I would have to keep track of the numbers for chapters
    and sections myself.

    I believe you are the one building the headers/chapters or
    whatever you call it. If so, you can use a PdfPTable design where
    numbering value is left aligned on the 1st column and label is
    left aligned in the second column.

    If you do not want to deal with table design then you can also
    achieve the same look using String.format

    String.format("%5s", number); will pad the right of string with
    blank chars until 5 chars. For right aligned you may use -5.

    Good luck

        Hello,

        I am wondering if it is possible to have an indentation
        (sorry, if this
        is the wrong word for it) for headers (chapters / sections)
        like this:

        1.       Main Chapter
        1.1     Sub 1
        1.2     Sub 2
        1.2.1  Sub x

        Thanks in advance for any hint,
          Friedhelm
