Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Nested tables always flattened out?
Hi Paulo,
I see the following promising comment in
changelog.txt for itext-paulo-133 (2004-08-04):
-
ColumnText and PdfPCell supports text only Paragraph, text only
List,
Image and PdfPTable.
But after
downloading the itext-paulo-137.jar file as well as the itext-paulo-137.zip
source to build javadoc, I do not see any new methods to support Lists in
PdfPCell or PdfPTable.
What am I
missing?
thanks,
Tom
