You have forgottern to add this template .*stroke(); * *after drowing circle *template.*circle(25f, 25f, 25);*
This this example, it works correcly: PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2); table.setTotalWidth(300); PdfContentByte canvas = pdfWriter.getDirectContent(); PdfTemplate template = canvas .createTemplate(50, 50); template .setLineWidth(1.5f); template.circle(25f, 25f, 25); template .stroke(); Image img = Image.getInstance(template); Phrase phrase = new Phrase(new Chunk(img, 1f, 1f)); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(phrase); table.addCell(cell); // If you find such kind of example with use cell.addElement(chunk); // do not use that, the circle will not be included correctly in the cell. Chunk chunk = new Chunk(img, 1f, 1f); PdfPCell cell2 = new PdfPCell(); cell2.addElement(chunk); table.addCell(cell2); This is the result : <http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/file/n4659517/cells.png> -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Problems-drawing-in-a-PdfPCell-tp3237857p4659517.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
