hi,
I am evaluating Itext for building a report (XML - PDF). I am able to
build most part of it but there some problems while drawing lines &
printing headers.
My report format is like this :
Status : Assigned
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
id : 1201 Submitted by: Herman, Pete Submitted: 01/02/02
blah blah blah
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
id : 1202 Submitted by: Waugh, Steve Submitted: 01/02/02
blah blah blah
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Status : Impact
id : 1201 Submitted by: Herman, Pete Submitted: 01/02/02
blah blah blah
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now whenever I am on a new page I have to print the "STATUS" and a line
below it.
The problem is
a) how do i get the current "STATUS" value in the onStartPage (PdfWriter
writer, Document document) Event / Method.
i.e How do I use PdfWriter / document to access the data ?.
b) Is it possible to access the XML tags in these Events. if so How?.
c) I am drawing a line using <horizontalrule /> tag, but I cannot alter its
width. Is it possible to draw
lines using XML tags?.
d) how do I use generic tag functionality in XML. ex. (<SPEAKER generictag
= "" >Status</SPEAKER>)
so that I can trap the generic tag event and customize the page?.
I have seen Chap 1201 example and have used it to build the footer of my
page dynamically .
But how do I use it to access tags ("STATUS")?
I tried using Chapters & Sections. but it doesn't let me use
<horizontalrule /> inside these tags.
Thanks In Advance
Shrikant.
