RE: [iText-questions] Paragraph keepTogether and ColumnText

[Paulo Soares]

Title: Message

ColumnText only uses the chunks inside a Phrase/Paragraph, it doesn't use any of the other attributes such as leading or keepTogether. To achieve the same effect do:

 

ColumnText ct = ...; //the text and position is loaded

ColumnText ct2 = ColumnText.duplicate(ct);

if ((ct2.go(true) & ColumnText.NO_MORE_TEXT) != 0) {

    ct.go(); //ok to place text, it fits

}

else {

    // move the text to somewhere else

}

 

Best Regards,

Subject: [iText-questions] Paragraph keepTogether and ColumnText

Hi,

 

Paragraph's keepTogether attribute has no effect when adding the paragraph to a ColumnText. I filed a bug on this, which was closed as 'not a bug'. Could you explain?

 

Thanks,
