Have you tried simple math?
- Create an array which size is the number of columns (i.e. your variable
intColumns).
- The first value will be the fixed width of the first column.
- The other values can be calculated quite easily:
(totalWidth - firstColumnWidth) / (intColumns - 1)
- Use the array in the PdfPTable constructor.
If you want the width of the first column to be a fraction of the others, it
involves a little bit more calculus, but nothing you can't cope with, I'm
sure. :)
