[iText-questions] Questions on Textwrapping in IText

[magesh rathnam]

Hi,

 I'm trying to print a text in a PDF. But the text is not getting wrapped.
Depending on the alignment I use, some portion of the text gets cut always.
I need to use PdfContentByte class because I need to write text at a
particular location. I'm attaching the resultant PDF produced as a
reference.

 The code is given below. Pls help me in fixing the issue. Any help will be
appreciated.

import java.io.IOException;

import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfTemplate;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfTextArray;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
