When I see that line, I assume you are going to draw a PdfPCell in composite mode. But no, you create the cell like this: new PdfPCell(ph); In other words: the Paragraph is treated as a Phrase. The cell will be drawn in text mode, and it will be Justified, because you have set the horizontal alignment of the cell to ALIGN_JUSTIFIED. Either switch to composite mode: PdfPCell footerCell = new PdfPCell(); footerCell.addElement(ph); Or remain in text mode, but set the alignment of the cell correctly: PdfPCell footerCell = new PdfPCell(ph); footerCell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER); That's all explained on page 168 of the book. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
