[iText-questions] multipliedLeading + spacingBefore

[Christian Lauer]

Hi Paulo,

I've found out that the multiplied leading doesn't work for Paragraphs 
placed into the document, is it planned to support this as in PdfPTables
or ColumnTexts?

Also I think I've discovered another bug. When you're using the spacingBefore
feature it seems it will not work for the first Paragraph, placed in the
document.

I've attached the Java source code plus a PDF for this.

Best regards,
Christian
