Hello all,
this is my very first post to the list and I'd really appreciate any
help or pointers for the following problem:
I try to create invoices using iText in a JBoss environment. The
document I create consists of a ColumnText object containing a PdfPTable
set to 100% and containing 4 columns set to 10%, 70%, 10% and 10%.
Though I explicitly set word wrap to true when adding cells, the content
of the second column is never wrapped at all resulting in very ugly
rows if the text is too long to fit the cell.
If I remove the width percentage and simply add cells to the table as
they come the text is wrapped.
These are some excerpts from the code:
Creating ColumnText:
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText( cb );
ct.setSimpleColumn(
mm2pt( LEFT_MARGIN_KTIT ),
mm2pt( BOTTOM_MARGIN_KTIT ),
PageSize.A4.getWidth() - mm2pt( RIGHT_MARGIN_KTIT ),
PageSize.A4.getHeight() - mm2pt( FIRST_PAGE_TOP_MARGIN_KTIT ),
10,
Element.ALIGN_LEFT
);
Creating table:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable( 4 );
table.setWidthPercentage( 100 );
table.setWidths( new float[] { 0.1f, 0.6f, 0.15f, 0.15f } );
table.setHeaderRows( 1 );
Adding cells:
Chunk c = new Chunk( value, font );
c.setHyphenation( hyphenation );
cell.setNoWrap( false );
cell.setPhrase( new Phrase( c ) );
table.addCell( cell );
Fitting text on following pages:
int status = ColumnText.START_COLUMN;
while( ColumnText.hasMoreText( status ) ) {
doc.newPage();
doc.setMargins( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
ct.setSimpleColumn(
mm2pt( LEFT_MARGIN_KTIT ),
mm2pt( BOTTOM_MARGIN_KTIT ),
PageSize.A4.getWidth() - mm2pt( FF_PAGE_RIGHT_MARGIN_KTIT ),
PageSize.A4.getHeight() - mm2pt( FF_PAGE_TOP_MARGIN_KTIT ) - mm2pt(
BOTTOM_MARGIN_KTIT ),
10,
Element.ALIGN_LEFT
);
status = ct.go();
}
Any ideas? Am I missing out something?
