[iText-questions] How to properly set leading

Patrick O. Thurman Wed, 21 Sep 2005 13:04:19 -0700

Hello All,

What is the proper setting of the leading param in the following:

private Font fontC8 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.COURIER, 8);

if (fontDefString.equalsIgnoreCase(new String("fontC8"))) fontDefFont = fontC8;

document.add(new Paragraph(12, line, fontDefFont));

The problem is that I have a landscape report(plain text monospaced) with 52 lines

of text with page headings. I want the PDF to page as the report. The white space

between paragraphs is to large(I think) causing the a few lines to end up on a page

with out headings. Example below:

input text:

09/20/05 XXXXXXX X. XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX PAGE 4

Account 999999 FFF DDDDD DDDDDDDDDD by Batch Number, Date BBBBB, BBBBBBBB

for time period 08/01/05 - 08/31/05 FFAFFF

The last two(2) will be on a page by them selves. If I change the command

From document.add(new Paragraph(12, line, fontDefFont));

To document.add(new Paragraph(10 line, fontDefFont));

It will all fit on one page but the font is also smaller. How do you set the leading parm

When you allow variable font sizes?
