You'll have to do some calculations to achieve this. You need: - a Rectangle (can be provided in a cell event). - a BaseFont and a font size - Some text Use baseFont.getWidthPoint to find out the width of the text using a certain font size. If it fits the width of the rectangle taking the extra char space into accoutn, use showTextAligned with Element.ALIGN_CENTER. If it doesn't fit, cut the text into pieces that fit the width. Basically, you need to do the work that happens internally in ColumnText/PdfLine, but add the concept of character spacing. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
