http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/ There's also the "iText in Action" book.
More specifically, there isn't some global "default font size" attribute you can change. You just have to specify a given size when you set the font. The basic "Chunks" example probably uses the same constructor you do to add text: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/objects/Chunks.java Chunk foo = new Chunk("My String."); paragraph.add( foo ); There's another constructor: Font myFont = new Font( Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 8 ); // name & point size Cunk bar = new Chunk("My String, only different.", myFont ); paragraph.add( bar ); document.add( parargraph ); document.close(); Without a particular font defined, iText will use a default, which I believe is Times 12pt, but I could be wrong. I stronly suspect that any method given to add text to a Document will have an override that allows you to define a font for that text. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com #include <disclaimer> typedef std::Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard; > -----Original Message----- > From: LgM Michael [mailto:d...@levelgroundmedia.com] > Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 2:31 PM > To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [iText-questions] Question on setting font size in whole > document > > > I have a very simple document that currently has a single table into > which I add cells. > > document.open(); > PdfTable table = new PdfTable(5); > table.addCell(... and so on > > I would like to change the font size to be smaller throughout the > document, as well as add an introductory paragraph, and size > the cells > differently (the first 4 cells can be smaller with the last cell > needing room for the most text). > > Can anyone point me to how to approach this? > > Thank you > Mike > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------- > Come build with us!
