Paulo: I have tried both table classes and cannot get them to work. The table class displays the image in the right cell, while PdfPTable doesn't display the image at all. The document size is A3, and therefore 842 units wide. Each image is about 350 pixels wide. So, there should be space for both images...
Here is the source code of the test I did, showing the image creation and table
commands. In the actual application, the images are captures from applets and/or
java.awt.component subclasses, so they will either be imported into iText as
PdfTemplate objects (preferable, since that class draws so neatly), or ImgRaw objects
based on java.awt.Image objects. I have also enclosed the image I use in the test
class.
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
import pdfconvert.*;
import pdfconvert.htmltag.*;
public class tabletest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// create the PDF file
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A3, 9, 9, 36, 36);
PdfWriter pdf = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new
java.io.FileOutputStream("htmltest.pdf"));
doc.open();
// create the image -- the images in the actual program will be either
java.awt.Image
// or PDFTemplate-based images ("ImgRaw" and "ImgTemplate" in iText, i think)
java.awt.Image awtImg =
java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("itext.jpg");
Image img = Image.getInstance(awtImg, null);
System.out.println("\nImage dimensions: width=" + img.width() + " height=" +
img.height());
// run table tests
doc.add(new Chunk("Output from \"Table\" class"));
normalTableTest(doc, img);
doc.newPage();
doc.add(new Chunk("Output from \"PdfPTable\" class"));
pdfPTableTest(doc, img);
// quit
doc.close();
}
public static void pdfPTableTest(Document doc, Image img)
throws Exception
{
// table creation
float[] colWidth = {410, 410};
PdfPTable t = new PdfPTable(colWidth);
PdfPCell c1 = new PdfPCell(img);
PdfPCell c2 = new PdfPCell(img);
// formatting stuff (if necessary ??)
// add to table
t.addCell(c1);
t.addCell(c2);
doc.add(t);
}
public static void normalTableTest(Document doc, Image img)
throws Exception
{
// table creation
Table t = new Table(2);
Cell c1 = new Cell(img);
Cell c2 = new Cell(img);
// formatting stuff (if necessary ??)
// add to table
t.addCell(c1);
t.addCell(c2);
doc.add(t);
}
}
