PdfContentByte.setTextMatrix - units, 0,0, and text position
Hi;
I've tried this and this is what I've
found:
- For an image, the absolute position I set for an
image is not where it's printed. Instead it is printed a little lower and to
the right of the position I give. I printed out getDpiX() & getDpiX()
(both 72.0) and absoluteX() & absoluteY() and the values printed do not
match the printed .pdf file.
- For an image, the size of the image is slightly
smaller than it is supposed to be. I printed out plainWidth() &
plainHeight() and the values printed out do not match the printed .pdf
file.
- I printed out text and the x position is 90.0
(1.25") but on the paper it is at 1.375" The y position is 646.15 (8.97")
but the text baseline is actually at 8.75"
The image size is actually the bigger problem as
everything appears to be offset the same amount and the amount is not
killer.
Any ideas?
thanks - dave
