I am using iText 1.4.5, jdk 1.5 and viewing generated document with
Microsoft Word 2002 SP2.
What I need to do is create RTF documents with some tables in it. The
tables have a particular look and feel. I need the table background to
be light gray, with some spacing between cells and some cells with white
background.
The problem is I can't set the color I want to the the space in between
the cells.
I send some code so you can have better ideia about what I want to do
and what I am doing:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Date datInic = new Date();
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy
hh:mm.ss").format(datInic)+" - Begin");
try {
// Create de document
Document document = new Document();
RtfWriter2.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("TesteTabelas.rtf"));
document.open();
// Register, create and set fonts
FontFactory.register("c:\\windows\\fonts\\verdana.ttf");
FontFactory.register("c:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf");
RtfParagraphStyle.STYLE_NORMAL.setFontName("verdana");
RtfParagraphStyle.STYLE_NORMAL.setSize(8);
Font arial8 = new Font(FontFactory.getFont("arial"));
arial8.setSize(8);
arial8.setColor(Color.BLACK);
Paragraph paragraph;
Cell cell;
// Define cell widths
int[] cellWidths = new int[]{ 7, 26, 11, 11, 15, 5, 26};
int varNumber = 1;
// Create table and set default settings
Table table = new Table(cellWidths.length);
// setBackgroundColor seems to be ignored
table.setBackgroundColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
table.setSpacing(3);
table.setBorderWidth(1);
table.setBorderColor(Color.BLACK);
table.setWidth(100);
table.setWidths(cellWidths);
