When adding a Phrase with a long text string to a narrow PdfPCell the text is automatically wrapped into several lines. In the project I am working on I want the text to wrap, by floating out of the PdfPCell rather than by expanding it. As I read the source code this is not possible what-so-ever.
As a workaround I have set a fixed height on the PdfPCell, causing the text to wrap "into nowhere". My idea here is to then catch the overflown text, to manually add it to the cell below. From the iText source I have found that PdfLine.add() and PdfChunk.split() seems that seems to do the actual line splitting, but unfortunately its all package private and I can not seem to find any "entraces" other than compiling my own modified iText. I have really tried to solve this one myself be investigating the iText source code, but know solution has turned up yet. I hope someone here is able to help me out. Alternative solutions to the original problem are very welcome as well. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Capturing-the-overflow-from-PdfPCell-tf4304205.html#a12251649 Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
