Hey again. I have been trying to get a nested table to show in a document. The idea is for having multiple checkboxes in the nested table.
The idea is for a header to be set on the nested table with a bunch of checkboxes, each below the other. I'm not really seeing what I'm doing wrong. If I put the table that is supposed to be nested onto the document instead of the parent table it shows just fine, including checkboxes and label. And if I remove the CellEvent building the checkbox from the nested table it also gets shown on the parent table correctly with the header alone. If I add the header to the nested table and the cell with the CellEvent building the checkbox(es) to the parent table all of it gets shown. But if I place all of them together as nested table, nothing of the nested table gets shown. I'll include a bunch of (spaghetti) code. public void setVakD() throws DocumentException, IOException { this.huidigVak="VakD"; table = new PdfPTable(1); this.initA001Table(); PdfPCell cell; Font titlefont = new Font(Font.COURIER,12,Font.BOLD); Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(); Chunk chunk = new Chunk("VAK D: ADMINISTRATIEVE GEGEVENS\n" + "VAN DE PERSOON VOOR WIE DE AANVRAAG WORDT INGEDIEND",titlefont); paragraph.add(chunk); cell = new PdfPCell(paragraph); table.addCell(cell); document.add(table); table = new PdfPTable(4); initA001Table(); this.addTableInfo("Voor aanvullende inlichtingen kan de aanvrager of de wettelijke vertegenwoordiger" + " gecontacteerd worden",4); this.addTextField("op telefoonnr.: ",""); this.addTextField("van (uur):",""); document.add(table); table = new PdfPTable(2); //table is a private instance variable this.addTableInfo("Met het oog op eventuele rechtstreekse stortingen ten gunste van de aanvrager,",2); addTextField("Rekeningnummer:",""); this.addTableInfo("Geniet de persoon voor wie de aanvraag wordt ingediend een tegemoetkoming of vergoeding van een andere instantie?",2); this.addTableInfo("Zo ja, vak D1 invullen",1); this.addTableInfo("Zo niet, vak D2 invullen",1); document.add(table); table = new PdfPTable(2); this.initA001Table(); table.addCell(this.createVakD1()); //writer.getDirectContent().stroke(); document.add(table); } public PdfPTable createVakD1() throws DocumentException, IOException { PdfPTable D1Table = new PdfPTable(1); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(); cell.setBorder(0); Font titlefont = new Font(Font.COURIER,12,Font.BOLD); Phrase d1Title = new Phrase("VAK D1: VAN WELKE INSTANTIE(S)?",titlefont); cell.addElement(d1Title); D1Table.addCell(cell); cell = new PdfPCell(); cell.setCellEvent(new BoxEvent(writer,"R.V.A.")); D1Table.addCell(cell); // If I add this cell to the parent table it gets drawn. //document.add(D1Table); // If i uncomment this, the table gets drawn as well. return D1Table; } /* This class is taken from this here forum, although slightly adjusted.
