I'm currently finding iText 1.02b useful for generating PDF. Nice job on an easy to
use API. :)
There is one capability that I need which, as best I can tell, is not supported: I'd
like to be able to easily output something formatted roughly as follows:
1. My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My
first item.
My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My
first item.
My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My first item. My
first item.
My first item. My first item. My first item.
2. My second item. My second item. My second item. My second item. My second
item.
My second item. My second item. My second item. My second item. My second
item.
My second item. My second item. My second item. My second item. My second
item.
Of course it's "possible" to do this since you've made the low-level abolute
positioning available at the API, but it would be a big improvement, in my opinion, to
be able to do this simply, such as the following:
Paragraph pg = new Paragraph( "a.\tMy first item. ....", bf );
pg.setIndentationLeft( 50 ); /** FOR WHOLE PARAGRAPH **/
pg.setIndentationLeftFirst( 20 ); /** OVERRIDE LEFT INDENT FOR FIRST LINE **/
pg.setTabStop( new float[] { 50 } );
Note that the tab stop would be used when the '\t' character is encountered in my
example.
Anyone currently supporting, or planning to support, these capabilities?
Thanks for any help you can give.
