Hi, I'm having trouble with the format of a table I'm trying to create and was hoping someone here would be able to help me.
I'm trying to create a page that looks something like: http://decoder.jumptech.com/catsample.html I was able to fiddle a bit and get the result I wanted, but without the barcode. I'm using a PdfPTable for the big table with a PdfPTable in each cell. Each cell PdfPTable contains to PdfPCells, one for the image, and one for the text. I was able to add multiple phrases to the text side to get multiple lines, but PdfPCell doesn't appear to have a way to add an image so that I can add the barcode image under the text. Is there a way to do this? Ideally, I would like to use the Table class because we would like to output to RTF as well as PDF. However, I had a bear of a time trying to get Table to work. The pseudo code for the Table class implementation looked like this: bigTable = new Table(2, 2); bigTable.setBorderWidth(1); bigTable.setPadding(5); bigTable.setWidth(95); for (i=0; i<#ofProducts; i++ ) { productImage = Image.getInstance(productImage[i]); productImageCell = new Cell(productImage); barcodeImage = create barcode image; textCell = new Cell(productTitle); textCell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER); textCell.add(new Paragraph(item.getCatalogId())); textCell.add(barcodeImage); itemTable = new Table(2, 1); itemTable.setBorderWidth(0); itemTable.addCell(imageCell); itemTable.addCell(textCell); tableCell = new Cell(itemTable); bigTable.addCell(tableCell); } There are two problems that occur with this. First, the barcode image doesn't get centered like the text in the texCell. Second, I have a problem with the borders. The above code yields this: http://decoder.jumptech.com/badcat.pdf As you can see, the "crosshatch" that should be in the big table is not there, and the inner tables have borders even when I set the borderWidth to 0. I also tried setting the borderWidth of the inner table to 10 and the border width was still unchanged. Did I find a bug? Is there a workaround? I don't mind using PdfPTable and PdfPCell for the time being, but RTF will be a requirement for us in the future and I would like to get the above code working sometime soon. Thanx in advance for your help. BTW, Bruno and Paul, great work on the library. It generally works great and the documentation on the web site is awesome (albeit a little out of date).
