I have read the book and the examples for creating a PDF from a letter. I have a letter that needs to be created as a PDF and it has in addition to the Header and Footer (which are in the examples) a list of names and titles in the left margin of the letter. Also the type of font used in the left margin is different from the basic content of the letter such that the printing between the two sections do not line up. This is the way they want it. This letter is currently in html so the html uses two <td>s to handle the two different sections and through the use of <br>s, two different sized columns of text is created and formatted the way they want it to display. My question is which is the best way to create this PDF in itext. Should I try and mimic html using two columns and could I vary the column width and font style within each column? Or should I try and do something with layers putting the left margin info in one layer and the basic letter content in another? Or is there some other "easier" way to achieve this look? The only dynamic information in the letter is the person's name and address everything else can be built into the code. I am looking for the "easiest" approach - thanks!
