I must be missing something easy. I am trying to add several lines of text to a
template. I figured that newlineShowText() or newlineText() would move the 'cursor'
down one line. Is that incorrect, or am I misusing them?
With this code, I was expecting to get 10 lines on the template, but I only get one,
each overwriting the other.
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfTemplate template = cb.createTemplate(500, 500);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
template.setFontAndSize(bf, 12);
template.beginText();
template.setTextMatrix(100, 200);
for( int i=0; i<10; i++ ) {
template.newlineShowText("Line : "+i);
template.newlineText(); // try both newline commands
}
template.endText();
cb.addTemplate(template, 100, 400);
Do I have to keep track of the height of the text, and move the 'cursor' my self, with
.setTextMatrix() each time I write a line?
Thanks,
Chris
