Re: [iText-questions] gutters

OK. So maybe we mean something different by "gutter." Given a two page layout (it'll be more but...) i need the inside margin to be 1/4" and 1/2" on the outside which means that for every page in the PDF, the margins keep swapping. So page 1 will have 1/4" on the left, and page 2 will have 1/4" on the right, etc. Does that make sense? I'm not seeing anything just yet that gives me that unless i can change where the table is drawn when it spans a page. I'll keep playing with ColumnText, though...

Is there an example of that floating around somewhere?

take that long and the results will be exactly what you want.

Does iText support the notion of gutters in PDFs? I need the gutter margin to be 1/4" and the outside margins to be 1/2" as well as the footer being aligned against the gutter. Any ideas?

If it doesn't support that, can I use page events to change the margins for certain pages?
