Did you look at the book and at the examples? ColumnText is a single column but
you can continue the column someplace else, in the same page or in the next
page. Plenty of examples are available.

Subject: [iText-questions] how to use ColumnText
hello,
we used ColumnText as suggested by you we are able to get the
vertical position when we use it for a single page with no columns. But as
we use ColumnText further for a page having two or more column we are not
getting the vertical position. kindly tell us how to do it for a page
containing two or more column.
Like in this code I am getting Yline-
code 1-
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
BufferedReader reader =
new BufferedReader(new FileReader("caesar.txt"));
String line;
Create ColumnText object
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
ct.addText(new Phrase(line + "\n"));
}
reader.close();
ct.setSimpleColumn(36, 36,
PageSize.A4.width() - 36, PageSize.A4.height() - 36
18, Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);
int status = ColumnText.START_COLUMN;
while (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
status = ct.go();
ct.setYLine(PageSize.A4.height() - 36);
document.newPage();
}
But now I have to add more than 1 column like-
code-2
float[] left = { 36, (PageSize.A4.width() / 2) + 18 };
float[] right = { (PageSize.A4.width() / 2) - 18,PageSize.A4.width() - 36 };
int status = ColumnText.NO_MORE_COLUMN;
int column = 0;
while (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
ct.setSimpleColumn(left[column], 36,
right[column], PageSize.A4.height() - 36);
status = ct.go();
}
in the code-2 how can I split the text in second column?
Thank You.
