[iText-questions] Setting the colSpan on a PdfPCell that contains a PdfPTable

[Khaled Alakhras]

It seems that there is a problem when setting the colSpan of a PdfPCell that contains a PdfPTable.  Setting the colSpan effects all other cells that contain a PdfPTable also.  Please see attahced example.

Thanks,
Khaled

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("test.pdf"));

document.open();

PdfPCell cell;

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);

table.setWidthPercentage(70);

table.setHeaderRows(0);

cell = table.getDefaultCell();

cell.setBorderWidth(1);

cell.setBorderColor(Color.blue);

// Create a 2X2 sub-table

PdfPTable nested = new PdfPTable(2);

for (int k = 0; k < 4; ++k)

{

cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("nested.Cell " + k));

cell.setBorderWidth(1);

cell.setBorderColor(Color.blue);

cell.setBackgroundColor(Color.red);

nested.addCell(cell);

//** contain a table.

cell.setPadding(1);

cell.setBackgroundColor(Color.blue);

table.addCell(cell);

document.add(table);

document.close();
