Draw the Graphic2D to a template and use Image.getInstance(PdfTemplate) to
make it look like an image.

Subject: [iText-questions] Obtaining a Graphics2D for a PdfPTable-Cell
> Hello everyone,
>
> I'm trying to create a 2-column table in a PDF that has text in its
> left column and graphics in its right. I have a Java class that
> generates the graphics, into a java.awt.Graphics-object. So I would
> like to add a PdfPCell of specified height into a table and obtain a
> Graphics2D-Object for this cell only to have my existing class draw
> into it.
>
> I have come up with the following solution:
>
> Rectangle pageSize = document.getPageSize();
> PdfPCell c = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(""));
> c.setFixedHeight(CELL_HEIGHT);
> c.setCellEvent(new PdfPCellEvent() {
> public void cellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle position,
> PdfContentByte[] canvases) {
> Graphics2D g =
> canvases[PdfPTable.TEXTCANVAS].createGraphics(pageSize.width(),
> pageSize.height());
> g.translate(position.left(), pageSize.height() -
> position.top());
> rend.render(g, new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0),
> new Dimension((int) position.width(), (int)
> position.height()), <...some more parameters...>);
> }
> });
> table.addCell(c);
>
> However, while prototypes indicate that I will be able to make this
> work the way I need it to, it strikes me as somewhat inelegant to draw
> on top of everything in a second pass.
>
> Thus my question: Is this the "recommended" solution for a problem like
> this? Or does anyone have a better idea?

> thanks,
