Thanks Paulo for your help. It's wonderful iText exists and you support it
the way you do.
I noticed some bugs when I place a table in the header using events. If I
place an extra blank row at the bottom of the table, the first row gets
chopped off at page top. Only half of the first row will print. Correct
spacing is given between the header and the rest of the document. If I give
a blank row at the top it is ignored.
I am working now to get the header to position properly. It comes out too
close to the top of the page, probably at absolute zero for printable page
area, and no space below the header and the rest of the document. I need to
find a non printable character to hold a space, other than \n. I'm sure I
can get header positioning to work.
The following snippet will create a header with half the top row chopped
off:
public void onEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) {
try {
Rectangle page = document.getPageSize();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold("MMIS Report XXXX",PdfPCell.ALIGN_LEFT,0));
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold("KidCare Application
Profile",PdfPCell.ALIGN_CENTER,0));
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold("Household ID#
"+rsA.getString("APPL_ID").trim(),PdfPCell.ALIGN_RIGHT,0));
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold(ToolsMisc.shortTimestamp(rsA.getTimestamp("UPDT_TST")),PdfPCell.ALIGN_LEFT,2));
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold("[ ] 3089 Found",PdfPCell.ALIGN_RIGHT,0));
table.addCell(pdfPCellBold("\n",0,3));
table.setTotalWidth(page.width() - document.leftMargin() -
document.rightMargin());
table.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, document.leftMargin(), page.height() -
document.topMargin() + table.getTotalHeight(), writer.getDirectContent());
private static PdfPCell pdfPCellBold(String s, int justify, int span) {
Font fo = new Font();
fo.setStyle(fo.BOLD);
PdfPCell c = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(s,fo));
c.setBorder(0);
if (span > 0) c.setColspan(span);
c.setHorizontalAlignment(justify);
return c;
}
