Hi to everybody,
I'm trying to place an image in a ColumnText object using composite mode
(based on the ColumnWithAddElement example) at a specific position but
without any luck.
What I'm actually do is to write some text, that might exceed the page
length and continue to a new page, and at the end to add a stamp plus a
signature both are Images.
The code snippet I'm using is the following:
PdfReader polReader=new PdfReader(templateURL); //Read a PDF
Template
int numberOfPages=polReader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfStamper polStamp = new PdfStamper(polReader,
policyAsOutputStream); //Write to a ByteArrayOutputStream
PdfContentByte cb=polStamp.getOverContent(1);
Rectangle pageLayout=polReader.getPageSize(1);
float[]
fieldBounds=polForm.getFieldPositions("F[0].P3[0].termText[0]"); //A
acroField used as the ColumnText boundaries
ColumnText ct=new ColumnText(cb);
ct.setSimpleColumn(fieldBounds[1], fieldBounds[2], fieldBounds[3],
fieldBounds[4]);
Paragraph p=new Paragraph();
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
p.add(new Phrase("Test document"+i));
ct.addElement(p);
}
float currentY=ct.getYLine();
Image sfragida=new Image.getInstance(imageUrl1);
sfragida.scaleToFit(cm2Pnt(2.5f), cm2Pnt(2.5f));
sfragida.setAbsolutePosition(cm2Pnt(7.5f), currentY-cm2Pnt(3.5f));
ct.addElement(sfragida);
Image signature=new Image.getInstance(imageUrl2);
signature.scaleToFit(cm2Pnt(4.2f), cm2Pnt(2.5f));
signature.setAbsolutePosition(cm2Pnt(9.6f), currentY-cm2Pnt(4.1f));
ct.addElement(signature);
while (true) {
int status = ct.go();
if (!ColumnText.hasMoreText(status))
break;
// we run out of column. Let's go to another one
numberOfPages++;
polStamp.insertPage(numberOfPages,
polReader.getPageSizeWithRotation(3));
ct.setSimpleColumn(fieldBounds[1], fieldBounds[2],
fieldBounds[3], fieldBounds[4]);
ct.setCanvas(polStamp.getOverContent(numberOfPages));
ct.go();
}
The thing is that the images are place at the left boundary of the
columnText ignoring the position I'm setting to each image.
Additional info: cm2Pnt is just a helper method to convert cm to Points
I'm using iText 2.1.5. (same result also in 1.4.8)
with JVM 1.4
