Well, of course. I changed the code to:
b.LineWidth = 1f;
cb.moveTo(35, pdfWriter.getVerticalPosition(false));
cb.lineTo(600, pdfWriter.getVerticalPosition(false));
cb.stroke();
The problem is, that the line is drawed as the first element of the pdf
document and not at the position as expected. Is it because the Chapter,
Sections, ... I created before creating/drawing the line are still in
memory and I didn't add the Chapter to the document before trying to draw
the line?
You know: I have one big Chapter adding Sections to it (to get numbering).
In one Section I want to draw the line following further sections. After
completing cunstructing all sections I want to add the Chapter to the
Document.
