Hi All, Apologies for popping through in the middle of the discussion.
Perhaps I can provide some additional info since I
am trying to generate PDF and RTF document from the
same template. I believe this is similar with what
Dhruba trying to accomplish.
I've written a small Junit test which generates the
following:
1. Complex table structure in RTF. Please refer to
test.rtf attached with email.
2. Complex table structure in PDF using Table
object.
Please refer to test.pdf attached with email.
3. Complex table structure in PDF using PdfPTable
and
PdfPCell. Please refer to test-nested.pdf attached
with email.
The JUnit test is stand alone, needing only itext &
junit jar on the classpath. The source code of the
JUnit is attached with email.
One interesting thing to note is when I ran this
unit test against itext 2.0.4, I do got the
ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. After building
latest build from SVN trunk, this problem goes away. I
can confirm the latest fix placed in by Bruno does
make
this error go away.
However, the format generated in the pdf is quite
different compared to when its generated into rtf
(please compare test.rtf and test.pdf). Is it
possible to have the same formatting between rtf and
pdf using the same sets of Table and Cells, or we
need to use Table and Cells for rtf and PDF objects
for
pdf output?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Regards,
Felix
PS: I have to resend this email to itext mailing list
since the email was rejected because I attached the
java source in a zip file.
