Yes, but this method is more or less what you need:
public static boolean addText(String s, PdfContentByte canvas,
float[] f, float size, boolean simulate)
throws DocumentException, IOException {
StyleSheet styles = new StyleSheet();
styles.loadTagStyle("p", "size", size + "px");
styles.loadTagStyle("p", "align", "justify");
styles.loadTagStyle("p", "hyphenation", "en_us");
ArrayList<Element> objects =
HTMLWorker.parseToList(new StringReader(s), styles, null);
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(canvas);
ct.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);
ct.setLeading(size * 1.2f);
ct.setSimpleColumn(f[1] + 2, f[2] + 2, f[3] - 2, f[4]);
for (Element element : objects) {
ct.addElement(element);
}
return ColumnText.hasMoreText(ct.go(simulate));
}
It takes a String and used HTMLWorker to create iText objects.
These are added to a ColumnText object, but you can add them
to a Document if that's what you need.
