Hi,
We have a requirement where in we would have a image as a background. the
text would need to start at a particular position in the page and it needs
to do a textwrap automatically. And there may/may not be a image too and all
these will have a image in the background. I'm able to complete all of them
except that textwrap is not working. Can someone help me in accomplishing
the same. I tried using Cellcolumns but it does not work with a image
background.
I tried using CoulmnText functionality too. When I open the pdf, it gives
some warnings like 'Illegal operation 'm' inside a text oject' and I'm not
sure what it is.. this is how I used ColumnText method(in the class given
below)
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
Font font24B = new Font(Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 24, Font.BOLD);
for (int j = 0; j < stringList.size(); j++) {
Phrase ph = new Phrase(stringList.get(j).toString());
System.out.println(ph);
cb.moveTo(300 + j, 600 - (20 * j));
ct.setYLine(600 - (20 * j));
ct.addText(new Chunk(stringList.get(j).toString(),font24B));
ct.go();
}
I'm attaching my code for reference.. Pls help me in fixing the problem.
Appreciate your help!!.
