I have two tables which must fit together to the same page. As I'm changing old
code, I want to do it in abuot the sam way I had done it before.
I create a main table into which I insert each of my two tables (class Table)
as a cell (with some space between). This main table used 'setTableFitsPage
(true)' and so I got what I wanted. Because I now use class PdfPTable, I
changed the code a little bit, but in the main table, I now only have the space
between my two tables.
What's wrong? Here a 'summary' of my code:
================================================================================
import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPCell;
public class test_ck {
public static Table getMainTable () throws BadElementException {
Table retVal = new Table (1);
retVal.setTableFitsPage (true);
retVal.setBorder (Table.NO_BORDER);
retVal.setDefaultVerticalAlignment (Table.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
retVal.setAlignment (Table.ALIGN_LEFT);
retVal.setPadding (0f);
retVal.setWidth (100f);
return retVal;
}
public static Table getTable () throws BadElementException {
Table retVal = new Table (4);
retVal.setBorder (0);
retVal.setDefaultVerticalAlignment (Table.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
retVal.setDefaultHorizontalAlignment (Table.ALIGN_LEFT);
retVal.setAlignment (Table.ALIGN_LEFT);
retVal.setWidth (100f);
retVal.setWidths (new float[] {25f, 25f, 25f, 25f});
Cell cell = new Cell("Title");
cell.setColspan(4);
retVal.addCell(cell);
for (int inx = 0; inx < 8; inx++) {
retVal.addCell(new Cell("field"));
}
return retVal;
}
public static PdfPTable getPdfPTable () throws BadElementException,
DocumentException {
PdfPTable retVal = new PdfPTable (4);
retVal.setWidthPercentage (100f);
retVal.setWidths(new float[] {25f, 25f, 25f, 25f});
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Title"));
cell.setColspan(4);
retVal.addCell(cell);
for (int inx = 0; inx < 8; inx++) {
retVal.addCell(new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("field")));
}
return retVal;
}
public static void addSpace (Table table) {
Cell space = new Cell ("\n");
table.addCell(space);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Document document = new Document();
Table mainTable = null;
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream
("test_ck.pdf"));
document.open();
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// do it with Table
mainTable = getMainTable();
// table 1
mainTable.addCell((new Cell(getTable ())));
// add some space
addSpace(mainTable);
addSpace(mainTable);
// table 2
mainTable.addCell((new Cell(getTable())));
document.add(mainTable);
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// space
document.add(new Paragraph ("\n\n\n\n\n"));
mainTable = null;
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// do it with PdfPTable
mainTable = getMainTable();
// table 1
mainTable.addCell((new Cell(getPdfPTable ())));
// add some space
addSpace(mainTable);
addSpace(mainTable);
// table 2
mainTable.addCell((new Cell(getPdfPTable())));
document.add(mainTable);
}
catch(DocumentException de) {
System.err.println(de.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
document.close();
}
}

Thank you
