When I use this method (below) none of the data is displayed in the master (root) table. I can see the cells have been added but there is no data.
//below this is the method to place everything in the table. public void appendPostnet (String label, String post){ post = removeHyphen(post); /* *Construct 1 col table *add cell with a fixed height of H * .85 *add cell with a fixed height of H * .15 *label in first cell *zip in the secind cell * **/ PdfPTable t = new PdfPTable (1); t.setTotalWidth(W); //t.setKeepTogether(true); //t.setWidthPercentage(100); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell (new Phrase(label, DOC_FONT)); cell.setFixedHeight(H * .85f); //cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); t.addCell(cell); /* if (post.length() > 4 || post.length() < 12) { BarcodePostnet pnbc = new BarcodePostnet(); pnbc.setCode(post); cell = new PdfPCell(pnbc.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null,null)); cell.setFixedHeight(H * .15f); //cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); t.addCell(cell); }*/ add(new PdfPCell(t)); } / * ---------------- NEXT METHOD --------------------- */ public void add (PdfPCell cell){ /* adds the actual cell to the table */ /* Every add() calls this method */ cell.setFixedHeight(H); cell.setNoWrap(NO_CELL_WRAP); cell.setPaddingLeft(CELL_LEFT_PADDING); cell.setVerticalAlignment(VALIGNMENT); cell.setHorizontalAlignment(HALIGNMENT); if (!DEBUG) cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); //show table borders in DEBUG mode how_many++; //total amount of labels counter++; // 'int counter' keeps track of how many times // this method is called within a range of X (X = ACROSS) table.addCell(""); table.addCell(cell); if (counter == ACROSS) table.addCell(""); //at the end if (counter == ACROSS) counter = 0; //if at the end reset the counter } Thanks for any help; by the way this is part of a class to build Avery Label sheets easily with iText, I'm going to release it as public domain. The class is complete but this is the only thing I've had a problem with. Sean Anderson datavirtue.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
