It's a bug in ColumnText. It's already fixed and will be made available with
next weeks release.

> Subject: [iText-questions] chunk with backgroundcolor in pdfptable
>
> Hello,
>
> I'am moving from table to pdftable. The reason is that I need tables as
> headers and footers. I've read in the mailing archives that this is
> possible
> using absolute positioning objects, i.e. pdfptable.
>
> The reports are being created dynamically from data coming from a
> database.
> Given a cell, it can have text with different fonts and backgrounds. That
> is
> the reason why I use a phrase to construct the pdfpcell. But when a chunk
> has a backgroundcolor it seems that it is written over the text, only the
> background appears in the pdf file.
>
> Is this the way a backgroundcolor for a chunk should work in pdfpcell?
> Does anyone knows a workaround? Or can give a hint for looking the java
> code?
>
> The first page of the generated pdf file has a Table and the second has
> two
> PdfPTables one added with document.add() and the other with absolute
> positioning.
>
>
> Thanks in advance.
