That worked ! Thanks for the tip. Btw, I tried using tab chunks, but I found it to be too complicated. I am using a ColumnText object to write out a line at a time. With a tab Chunk it requires that the exact x position of where text should be written next. This is better for text aligned on specified tabs. -----Original Message----- From: itext-questions-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:itext-questions-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net] Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 8:32 AM To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: iText-questions Digest, Vol 40, Issue 31 Send iText-questions mailing list submissions to itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to itext-questions-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net You can reach the person managing the list at itext-questions-ow...@lists.sourceforge.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of iText-questions digest..."

I'd use a space character, calculate its width, then use setHorizontalScaling() to scale the width to the desired amount. Depending on what you want to do, it might be interesting to use TAB Chunks instead. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:05:02 +0200 From: "Michael Harig" <m.ha...@gmx.de> Subject: [iText-questions] (no subject) To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <20090911100502.11...@gmx.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi. I'm trying to use PDF files as templates for (simple) reports (using PdfStamper). I run into 2 problems: 1. To combine exact position of a table (using writeSelectedRows) and automatic page break I need to know the bottom and top total margin (page margin + footer/header). I found in PdfDocument the methods indentBottom() and indentTop(). They seem to return the values I need, but they are protected methods. I did want to customize the sources but there are several errors in iText-2.1.7-sources.jar, most but not all related to missing BouncyCastle classes (unfortunately that website is down atm). 2. Furthermore, When "growing" a table all items below that (except footer) have to be moved. I couldn't figure out how to achieve this. Anyone with suggestions, please?

Your design is flawed based on wrong assumptions about PDF.

Font-Size: large is probably not supported in iText (I should check). It probably causes a font of size 0, and that's a problem. You can solve this problem by adapting HTMLWorker (I'll probably look into that soon) or by using a different parseToList method (the one that takes a HashMap of providers; provide your own FontFactoryImp to catch fonts with size zero). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:33:46 -0700 (PDT) From: SUNDARAKSHI <soshanmu...@inautix.co.in> Subject: [iText-questions] PDF Bytes after Merge To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <25399336.p...@talk.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi I am Using the following code to merge the PDF.

Can I convert RTF or DOC files to PDF using iText? My complete need is to combine many RTF (or DOC. either is fine) documents to one single document and then transform the result (the one RTF or DOC file) to PDF. I had a hard time trying to parse the DOC format so I tried to see if I can easily do the merge having many PDF files. This worked fine so my only problem now is to transform the RTF or DOC files to PDF so I can do the merge using iText. Can iText help me with that?
